And the villagers rejoiced! Knight & Hale is one of the most beloved names in the turkey hunting world, and it's reintroducing its previously discontinued (but tremendously well-loved) turkey and deer calls. The new-again lineup includes a wide variety of innovative calls such as pot, mouth, box, locator, grunt and gravity bleat calls.

The line of new deer calls includes what Knight & Hale has dubbed the HD Grunter Deer Call, the Quick Doe Bleat Deer Gravity Call and the Nanny Doe Bleat Deer Gravity Call. Mimic bucks' natural grunts with the HD Grunter Deer Call, designed with an adjustable reed allowing for easy modifications to produce a range of social and territorial grunts.

For doe vocalization, the Nanny Doe Bleat Deer Gravity Call produces bleats and bawls with just the flip of the wrist. This lightweight gravity call belts deeper, longer, resonant tones resembling a mature doe in estrous, perfect for use in the rut. Its smaller counterpart, the Quick Doe Bleat Deer Gravity Call, replicates the natural bleats and bawls of young does and fawns with higher-pitched tones for a shorter and sharper sound, providing a calming effect on does.

Knight & Hale returns to its roots with three varieties of turkey "pot calls," such as the Ol' Yeller SLA-TEK Surface Pot Call, a Knight & Hale standby that boasts a custom SLA-TEK ceramic striking surface, walnut pot and two-piece yellowheart striker, perfect for producing clear and raspy yelps, clucks, cutts and purrs. The HD Crystal Surface Pot Call, crafted with a cherry pot and hand-matched cherry striker, produces clear two-note yelps, clucks and purrs to create authentic, loud calling sequences.

Finally, the HD Slate Surface Pot Call effortlessly mimics a variation of turkey vocalizations from soft purrs and clucks--fit for close-range hunting--to loud yelps for longer distances thanks to its combination of slate surface texture, walnut pot and hand-matched hickory striker.

For a hands-free option, Knight & Hale’s new HD Hen Series mouth calls are an excellent choice! Offered in three different cuts, these calls are easy to learn, making them fit for all skill levels. The HD Hen Series Split V Mouth Call is great for long-range, hands-free calling, with a triple-reed split-v design that creates a realistic rasp.

For a user-friendly all-purpose call, the HD Hen Series W-Cut Mouth Call delivers two-tone raspy yelps along with clear soft clucks and purrs with its triple-reed design and expanded surface area. K & H's most versatile diaphragm call, the HD Hen Series Combo Cut Mouth Call, is capable of quickly adjusting to any situation in the field, mimicking a wide range of turkey vocalizations.
