| Lodge Creek Calls is a game call making company that I started in 2000. I am from Archdale NC. I took my love of woodworking and combined my passion for hunting to create Lodge Creek Calls. With the love and support of my wife Janet without whom none of this would be possible and the support of my family I have taken the business to levels I never dreamed of. Through new friendships, travels and hunting adventures in the last several years, my company has developed call products that are second to none. If a call does not meet our team of expert's ears then it does not leave our shop. We guarantee every call we sell and deliver. Our motto here at Lodge Creek Calls is "When We Call... NATURE ANSWERS" and we hold to that motto. We hope to be able to serve your call needs in the future. |

| My name is Joe Finney and I am from Salisbury, NC and I have been working for Lodge Creek Calls since 2007. I have been hunting for the last 16 years and guiding goose and turkey hunts for the past four. My love for waterfowling began at the age of 14 on the corn fields of central NC. Since then I have hunted ducks and geese from the coast of North Carolina to central Kansas and every hunting adventure is still as exciting as the first. Being lucky enough to have a job and family that allows me to hunt every day has been the only way to make the "Fowl Fever" less severe. Hunting, and training retrievers has been a passion of mine for almost as long as I can remember, but I have to say, hunting and calling big Canada geese is at the top of my list. I also have other interests, like turkey hunting, fishing, and spending time with my beautiful wife Carla and daughter Mahayla. Now working for Lodge Creek Calls I have the pleasure of hunting and working in the call industry and sharing my knowledge of hunting and calling to others. To say that I have been blessed would be an understatement. Special thanks to Mark McDowell and the Lodge Creek Crew for all the support in the field and on the contest calling stage. |

| My name is Jonathan Ellsworth. I have been working for Lodge Creek Calls for the last year and a half and enjoy every aspect in the call making business. I have been a hunter all my life from chasing squirrels as a young child to an avid deer hunter the older I became. But in the past five or six years I began chasing waterfowl from Kansas to the North Carolina coast. Whether it's big honker's in the corn fields, decoying mallards in the back waters or hunting divers on the coast I go after them all. Now that I am working for LCC my calling skills have really improved and I look forward to getting on the stage and competing. I have a great family and my young son Andrew. I want to thank Mark McDowell and the Lodge Creek staff for all their help and support in the field and on the contest calling stage. |
| Randy Rigsby |
| Hello, I'm Randy Rigsby. I was born and raised in China Grove, NC. I have been a hunter since I was about 12. My brother D.J. often let me tag along with him and taught me the ins and outs about hunting. I have been waterfowl hunting for about 5 years now. I love wing shooting and have been hooked since my first trip. With out a doubt the best part about waterfowl hunting for me, is the camaraderie. Being in the Deer stand or Duck blind has grown into a way of life and I couldn't see myself doing anything else during hunting season. My beautiful wife Diana has become an avid hunter herself and with her by my side I couldn't ask for a better hunting buddy. I would like to thank all the guys at Lodge Creek Calls for letting me be a part of a great organization. With Gods will and grace, LCC will be around for a very long time and will continue to grow into more than we could ever have imagined. |
| My name is Candice Pegram, I am 17 years old, I am from Henderson, NC, and I am a recent new member of Lodge Creek Calls. I have always been a country girl, growing up in the country is the best. I have been hunting since I was 12. I have been calling for about 3 years after going hunting and listening to the geese in the swamp behind my house. I am the 2 time junior goose calling champion and have also gotten 2nd and 3rd in other calling competitions on the duck call. I joined Lodge Creek Calls to try and better myself and become a better caller to try and win more, since I can no longer call in the junior division. I am looking forward to winning more championships. |

| Hi, my name is Tim Stevens. I am 49 years old and I am from Trinity, NC. There are three main loves of my life. My first love is for my Heavenly Father who has blessed my life beyond measure. Second, is my wife and family. The third love of my life is hunting. I have been hunting all my life thanks to my grandfather who taught me and introduced me to the sport. Working for Lodge Creek Calls has given me the opportunity to share my knowledge of hunting and calling. |
| Hi. My name is Keene Steadman. I have been married to my wife Amy for 20 years. I have 2 sons Ben and Bailey. I have always loved hunting, fishing and the great outdoors. I grew up fishing on the banks of the Tennessee River and hunting the rolling hills and creek bottoms of North Alabama. Hunting was a tradition in my family. From opening day of dove season to rabbit hunting on Thanksgiving Day I looked forward to hunting with my Dad, Grandfather, uncles and countless cousins. When I started high school, deer hunting and shooting bows became my passion. After moving to North Carolina I was exposed to the most infectious disease known to man- Water fowling. My company Honk Monster Outdoors has teamed up with LLC to bring you great calls and the best possible lanyards to hang them on. I look forward to working with Mark and all the folks at Lodge Creek Calls. |

| My name is Wayne Boyd. I was born and raised in Washington, NC. I have been an avid hunter for 29 years. I was hunting waterfowl on my own in the marshes of the Pamlico River when I was 12. I have been taking friends and family hunting ever since. I have been a part-time guide for the past two years and was fortunate enough to meet the guys at Lodge Creek Calls. I have used many calls in the past, but none quality calls on the market today. I am proud to say that I use Lodge Creek Calls for everything from ducks to deer. From owner, Mark McDowell, too every employee and pro staffers, I have never met a better group of honest, helpful and caring people. |

| John Hand |
| My name is John Hand, I am 30 years old and live in Halifax, NC with my beautiful wife Jenny and our loving son Jacob. I have been deer and turkey hunting with my dad since about age five, but in 2005 a friend introduced me to an even deeper sickness...waterfowl!!!! I would like to thank Mark McDowell for inviting me to be a part of Lodge Creek Calls and having a chance to develop my calling skills on the competition stage. But first and foremost thank you to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ for making this possible and may he bless this company to grow for years to come. |

| Howdy, my name is Neal Rohrbach and I live in Valdosta, GA with my wife Sara. I grew up hunting and fishing on the family farm in Clarksburg, Missouri and had a fishing pole in my hands as soon as I could walk. I don’t load a single shotgun or bait a hook without thinking about my grandpa who would drop everything to take me hunting or fishing. I am also a co-host of the Outdoor Channel Outfitters television show and guest appear on Ultimate Outdoors, both of which air on Outdoor Channel. Whether I’m tracking monster whitetails, hunkered down in a duck blind or reeling in a trophy bass, the great outdoors is certainly my sanctuary. |

| Hi my name is Jeff Johnson; I am from Smithfield NC and a member of the Lodge Creek Pro Staff. I am also a member of Mossy Oak’s Pro Staff and Magnus Broad Heads Pro Staff. I have been married to my beautiful wife Julie for 15 years and have a (13) year old daughter (Jordan) who also shares my passion for hunting. God, family, and hunting play a big role in my life and I have been lucky enough to enjoy all three. I was introduced to hunting by my father at an early age and he helped me understand the true meaning of hunting. He taught me to give back to the sport that we all love. I love pursuing all kinds of large and small game but I am especially fond of chasing gobblers every Spring. I would like to thank Joe and Mark for the opportunity to be a part of this great Lodge Creek Team and for making some of the best calls around!!! |
