Al_at_THO  Board Owner

With over 40 years experience hunting and fishing, the last 25 of it in New England, Al spends most of his waking hours thinking about and pursuing New England's predators with gun and camera.   A call maker since 2002, Al runs Eastern Coyote Hunting out of Manchester NH and sells calls on the internet at his Custom Predator Calls web site.

Braz  Administrator

Braz has been making predator calls since 2005. He also makes a few duck calls, utilizing the Echo insert, and has been known to make a pot call on occasion. But predator calls is his love. His special double reed call has been known to call in, besides the coyote and bobcat, a few big lions. His calls can be seen in the Custom Call Makers Sales Area and in the Photo Gallery.

Brian has been making predator calls since 2006.   He has been hunting coyotes ever since he could stand up in the front seat of his father's truck to see out.  He enjoys the thrill of calling game and the echelon of that thrill is calling in game with a personalized call.  There's just nothing like it in the world!

Parker   Retired Administrator & Global Moderator

Vince has been making turkey calls since the spring of 2003.  After specific requests, he began making deer, duck, goose, elk and squirrel calls also.  Of all the different calls he makes, his slate turkey calls and deer grunters have been the most successful in the field.  Since 2003, many game animals have fallen to the sweet sound of a VECtor Custom Call.  Vince stepped down from our staff to concentrate on his growing call making business and his family.   He is still an active and vocal participant of the board, and continues to make some of the finest deer grunts ever produced.


Nebo Retired Global Moderator

Neel is a die hard duck hunter (when work and the birds let him). He has been deer hunting since 1983, when he was 6, but late fall of 1995 he went duck hunting for the first time and was hooked from then till now. He started making duck and deer calls in Oct. of 2007. He is still new to alot about turning, but he loves it. He said "I have learned more in the past year from THO, than I would have in 10 by myself". He has just started making coon squallers, predator, and elk calls. The toneboard for his duck calls are all hand made by him. The rest of the calls he makes he gets the inserts from Al at THO.   Neel stepped down from his Moderator Position when he took a new job that severely limits his time on the internet.  He stops by from time to time to say hello, but we all miss not having him here more often.
