John TaylorBay 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!

2009 World Goose Calling Championship

November 3rd, 2009

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!!
