Bay Country Calls was founded by John Taylor, the current "World Goose Calling Champion of Champions". John began making custom goose calls in 1999. It wasn't until some time between 2002 and 2003 that John felt he was really onto something big with his own creation of the "Shore Thing" short reed Canada goose call. Never Settling for second best, John constantly made changes to make it better. After several years of research and development, John is very please to finally introduce to the goose calling world the "Shore Thing". This truly is "the one call that does it all!" Whether you're in the field or on the stage, if you don't have a "Shore Thing", just hope your competition doesn't either!

Just to let you know… I am currently out of stock in the following colors, WHITE PEARL, FLUORESCENT GREEN PEARL, ORANGE PEARL, RED PEARL, BRASS PEARL, SOLID ORANGE AND SOLID BROWN. The white pearl and fluorescent green pearl were discontinued from the manufacture. If they ever start making it again I will continue to carry those two colors. However, the red, orange, and brass pearl colors were slow selling colors that I have decided to no longer carry unless I should get a demand for them in the future. There are a few more colors that once they sell out I will no longer carry and I will let you know as they run out. I hope that this does not inconvenience anyone and I thank you for your past and continued support.
I apologize for not having the website updated yet but those colors are still out of stock. I do now have a green pearl and a caramel pearl that are available but are not up on the store section yet. If you are interested in any of those colors you can call or e-mail me. I hope to have things updated in the near future. Thanks!

I just found out and wanted to let everyone know that white pearl, fluorescent green pearl, and brass pearl colors are no long available. The company that was producing them no longer does. I am completely out of white pearl and only have a few fluorescent green pearl and brass pearl colored calls. Sorry for the inconvenience , if anything should change I’ll let you know. I will also post up when the fl. green and brass are gone.

Once again, It’s almost here, the World Goose Calling Championships held in Easton, Md. at the Waterfowl Festival. For those of you that have never been and thinking about going I would highly recommend it. It is a really fun time from carvings, paintings, seminars, the best seafood in the world. Really to many things to mention without forgetting something. I won’t have a booth there because there will be some vendors there that sell my calls and I really don’t want to compete with them and also I just have to many friends that come to this show that I don’t get to see very often. I will be around during the weekend so if anybody has any questions or needs anything just give me a shout. I look forward to seeing everyone and Good Luck to everyone!!
