DND In The News
Fall Turkey Hunting is now more exciting than EVER, as the Haint® Gobble Call sets the standard in gobble calls!
Down-N-Dirty® Outdoors is giving NWTF members an opportunity to purchase the Haint® gobble call
Down-N-Dirty® Outdoors, a supporter of the NWTF and its mission, is giving NWTF members an opportunity to purchase the Haint® gobble call, which reproduces the loud, resounding gobble of a dominant long beard. Please consider supporting a partner that supports the NWTF.
Haint® Gobble Call
For decades, hunters have been attempting to outsmart the wily long beard wild turkey by mimicking the sounds of his hen. Through slates, diaphragms and boxes, hunters across North America have mastered the imitation of the various voices of the hen with clucks, putts, purrs, yelps, cutts, cackles and kee-kees. And in doing so, countless numbers of turkeys have been harvested. However, it is the sound of the long beard himself that has eluded realistic vocal imitation.
That is, until now.
With the new Haint® gobble call, DND has achieved what had been thought to be impossible—the Holy Grail of wild turkey calling—a hand-held call that challenges Toms. The DND Haint® gobble call absolutely reproduces a loud, resounding gobble of a dominant long beard. With very little practice, the Haint® produces the identical sound, pressure, volume and force that naturally resonates from an old Tom, and it brings him in with ferocity to defend a challenge to his territory. With the Haint® in hand, that challenger is you.
Made from a one-piece walnut barrel with a hand-tuned and patent pending reed assembly, the Haint® gobble call has changed turkey hunting, now and forever. If you don’t believe such a thing is possible, see the teaser video and other videos on youtube.com. Turkey hunting really will never be the same.

Down-N-Dirty® Outdoors Haint® Gobble Call
Gobble shakers and the tactic of gobbling to longbeards have been around for years, but still most hunters use them more for pulling a shock gobble from a longbeard rather than working him to the actual call. The boys at Down-N-Dirty® Outdoors (DND) are planning on knocking that approach on its butt after spending last spring testing their new call, the Haint®, which is a hand-held gobble call.

For Fall Turkey Hunting Success, You Need To Get Down-N-Dirty®r
Tips for success from a pro.
Lewisburg, KY (October 25, 2010) ---Fall turkey hunting can be as exciting as spring turkey season, but it certainly takes different technique and a lot of patience. Gobblers are not gobbling to mate at this time of year, but with some scouting and persistence, the birds can be put into a pattern, and your pay off can be great.
According to champion caller and co-owner of Down-N-Dirty® Outdoors game calls, Jason Kidd, "By far, one of my favorite and one of the most effective ways to hunt turkeys in the fall is by scattering a flock and calling them back.
"First, you locate a flock, and get into a position where you can effectively scatter it," Kidd continued. "Keep in mind, that for this tactic to work, you have to scatter the birds in all different directions. This means you have to get relatively close to the flock before you scare them off. Within about 20 minutes of scattering the flock, the woods will come alive with turkey sounds—yelps, kee-kees, cutting and cackles. This is when the stage is yours to put on a show.
"I like to yelp and kee-kee on a mouth call, and I even do some yelping and clucks at the same time on a friction call. Keep in mind that you want to command your presence and lead this show. The DND Arsenic™ 3-reed has long been my go-to call for fall turkey hunting. It has the traditional cutter style cut with a small slash in the back that gives it a pitch that is pure turkey. It gives me a nice clear kee-kee followed up with some high-pitched raspy yelps.
"Simultaneously, I will be yelping, clucking or cutting on the DND Soul Crusher™ Slate call. Personally, I like the slate call because it is more forgiving."
Fall turkey hunting is not only an opportunity to harvest a great bird, but also a time to really listen and learn from the turkey. Not as many hunters flock to the woods for turkey this time of year, so the competition from fellow hunters is less. Enjoy this time—get out there, and get Down-N-Dirty® with some birds this fall.
Through their experience and determination, Down-N-Dirty® Outdoors has come to offer hunters the most advanced line of game calls available today.

Early Callings In Life And Shared Passion Leads To The Creation Of Down-N-Dirty® Outdoors
 LEWISBURG, Kentucky (September 27, 2010) — Mark Coin and Jason Kidd, the owners of Down-N-Dirty® Outdoors, were both born in the game-rich state of Kentucky, but they weren't destined to meet until a serendipitous moment much later in life. Life, it seems, would take them in two very different directions, with Kidd pursuing the elusive long beards while Coin served the Marine Corps.
The two wouldn't meet until many years later, but Coin and Kidd walked very similar paths, pursuing the same outdoor goals. From their very youths, the two found themselves drawn to the hunting woods, each honing his calling skills to become a more successful hunter.
It didn't take Coin long to realize that the harder he worked and the longer he practiced, the more frequently he'd win the competition of calling in birds against other hunters on public land. He soon found success with those skills off the hunting lands at official calling contests. He won the first owl hooting contest he entered—A Kentucky state competition—and he has won or placed in myriad other contests including a top-five finish in the Owl Hooting division a the NWTF Grand Nationals. Being also very proficient at calling waterfowl, Coin has won or placed in several world style and meat duck calling contests, including his Kentucky State Title in 2004. He followed that with an appearance in the World Duck Calling Championship that same year.
Elsewhere in Kentucky, Kidd was making a name for himself in his own right as a caller to be reckoned with by winning and placing in several local, regional and state contests. It wasn't until 2001 that the two would meet in a duck blind, accompanied by a mutual friend. Coin's and Kidd's friendship was instantaneous, but their combined potential had yet to be realized.
"After spending a couple of years in the swamps and in blinds together, there was no doubt that our passion and obsession for the outdoors was mutual," said Kidd. "Our talks quickly turned to the need for a new breed of call in the market—calls of the highest handcrafted quality that sounded like the real thing and were priced so that any hunter could afford them. In a conversation on the way to the Kentucky State Duck Calling contest in early 2004, Down-N-Dirty® Outdoors was born."
The two dedicated hunters devised a plan around a simple idea: crafting the finest line of turkey calls ever developed, consistent with the style of hunting that made them both successful in the woods and on the stage. The calls had to be tough, they had to last, and most of all, they had to sound exactly like a live bird.
Through their experience and determination, Down-N-Dirty® Outdoors has come to offer hunters the most advanced line of game calls available today. From the unique-looking diaphragms to the exceptionally designed pot calls, the entire line is built by hand with one goal in mind: to create the finest quality, affordable game calls that absolutely mimic your prey.
