Faulk's Game Call

What Faulk's Game Call does

Faulk's Game Call Co., Inc. is a family-owned manufacturer of hand-crafted, hand-tuned wooden game calls, headquartered in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The company produces calls for ducks, geese, predators, deer, elk, quail, pheasant, dove, and other game, using select woods including walnut, cherry, bamboo cane, and Sequoia Redwood, with each call individually tuned and tested. Its product portfolio spans six lines (duck, goose, predator, other/specialty, gift sets & vintage, and accessories) plus eGift cards and instructional media (records and CDs), with prices ranging from $1 accessories up to $525 collector sets.

The business was formalized in 1951 by Dud Faulk, son of founder Clarence "Patin" Faulk, and is currently run by the third generation of the Faulk family. Dud Faulk was an International Duck Calling Champion and two-time World Goose Calling Champion, and that championship-level acoustic expertise underpins the brand's design heritage. The company emphasizes "Made in USA" authenticity and actively warns against counterfeit Chinese-made products sold online.

Faulk's sells direct-to-consumer through its Wix-hosted website faulkcalls.com and through a network of domestic brick-and-mortar retail partners (sporting goods, hunting, marine, and even a percussion instrument retailer). Marketing is conducted via organic social channels (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram) and a dedicated customer reviews page. The revenue model is entirely one-time hardware sales with no subscription or recurring component, and the company has no external funding, parent company, or public listing.
