Featured Call of the Month

Clem Blackburn

Franklin, TN

1928-1997

This call was very early in production and was originally given as a gift to Kenneth Huff, owner of Williamson County Pipe Company, a supplier of driveway culverts and drainage pipe in Franklin, TN. Clem produced his calls with great sound in the lower end tone range as he believe the “high ball” style of calling wasn’t a necessary in a hunting call. Learning by trail and error he examined calls from older makers such as Johnny Marsh, Sharpie Shaw and Amon Rody, and he began to perfect his craft. He spent much of his time hunting the Obion River Bottoms near Reelfoot lake, however as the timber began to be less productive he moved up the river to what is now the Davy Crockett Hunting Club where he served as president for a number of years. Most of his calls were made of cocobola and African blackwood and during his peak production he made between 500-600 calls annually.



         
President's Note

Hello CCAA Members,

I hope everyone had a great duck season? Mine was very good put lots of miles on the truck. It was well worth it. We started in October in North Dakota, finishing up in Texas and Arkansas. Now it’s time to get back to collecting some calls. We CCAA have our annual meeting coming up April 22-26. Also the Fancy Call contest and auction going on the same time. I would like to invite everyone to Lombard to join in on the fun, you won’t regret it. Also any makers wanting to get in touch bases with Ryan Doering. Hope to see you there..

CCAA president,
Chris Hare
