Alex Knapp-

Hey! My name is Alex Knapp and I can’t begin to explain my love for everything to do with the outdoors! I grew up in Bothell Wa but I consider all of Washington my back yard. Fishing, backpacking, hiking, hunting, snowboarding, rock climbing, I do it all. Caught my first Coho at 3 years old and the rest is history. My first love will always be fishing but I will admit. I am addicted to waterfowling. I got a late start hunting, but these past 6 years have been the most fun I have ever had. I just can’t get enough! Something about seeing a group of Mallards or some big mean Honkers locked and committed on your spread. There is nothing like it in the world. I hunt everywhere from Spencer Island in Everett to Sprague Lake in Spokane. Calling waterfowl and spending time in the field with my amigos is right where I want to be. I prefer the 509 goose call. The 509 has awesome range and allows me to hit notes I didn’t even know I could do!

David Payton-

Hi my name is David Payton and I am an A&P Airplane Mechanic. Working and tinkering with things is something I have always enjoyed through out my life. On the side of that i am an avid outdoorsman, and my hobbies consist of hunting and fishing. In the spring and summer I try to get out to the lake to do some fishing as often as possible. But in the fall and winter season I am out hunting for deer, elk, upland and waterfowl and just about anything else I can get a tag for.

Shane Devlin

Hey there. My name is Shane Devlin and I grew up on the beaches of Southern California. When I moved to Spokane in 2002 I fell in love with the outdoors and the opportunities they presented in the Pacific Northwest.

I was the founder and president of the WSU gun club for 2 years, where I am still an active member. After shooting and competing in sporting clays and trap for multiple years, I found duck hunting and my life changed forever. Hunting green heads, geese and sea ducks is an obsession.

I hunt mostly in Eastern Washington, with the majority of my time spent on Long Lake, the Snake River, and all the great fields of the Palouse.

Phil Lamb-

Hello, my name is Phil Lamb. As a native Texan, I love football and barbecue and get outdoors as much as possible. From February to August, you’ll find a fly rod in my hand, trying to catch anything from a largemouth bass in Central Texas to redfish, false albacore, and speckled trout on the Gulf Coast. I usually put the fishing gear away in the fall, however, and turn my attention to hunting dove, deer, exotics, and my favorite: waterfowl.

I’ve been a duck hunter for 20 years and love every morning that I get to sit out over a spread of decoys, calling in ducks with my Pacific Calls I.T.F. and watching my labrador retriever, Drake, bring them back to the blind. Most of my hunts are over private potholes and tanks under 15 acres in size, but I also hunt Lake Ray Roberts in North Texas and Lake Texoma, a 90,000 acre reservoir on the Texas/Oklahoma border. My other passion is photography, so no matter what I’m doing outdoors, there’s always a couple of cameras and lenses in my gear bag. I look forward to exchanging hunting reports, strategy tips, and photos with the Pacific Calls family for years to come. See you in the blind!

Justin Bowen

Hello. My name is Justin Bowen. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to grow up in one of best areas to hunt waterfowl in the Northwest. I grew up in Connell, WA, right in the heart of the Columbia Basin and worked on the family farm till I went to college. I attended EWU and that is where I met the boys of Pacific Calls. I was blessed to have made so many unforgettable memories in the field with Trevor and Aaron. I first started hunting when I was in 6th grade and have continued to be an avid hunter ever since. I enjoy listening to the elk bugle during archery season and chasing whitetails or mule deer during the rut but what I love most is the sound of whistling wings on a brisk morning. Being able to finish big honkers right in your face is one of the greatest feelings of success I can think of. I look forward to another great year with Pacific Calls. Happy Hunting!!

Scott Yerges

Hello, My name is Scott Yerges. I was born in Columbus, Wisconsin and come from a long line of hunters and fisherman. My memory is filled with stories of hunting, fishing, swimming and enjoying the outdoors on the family farm and our annual trips to northern Wisconsin to party hunt White tail deer. My father was a passionate, very accomplished hunter and some of it rubbed off on my brother and I. That passion for enjoying and respecting the outdoors is continuing in my son Alex. A proud tradition that will continue with his children I am sure. Qualty time together enjoying the outdoors with my son is what keeps me coming back, season after season.

Bill Austin

Hello- My name is Bill Austin,

I was born in Missoula, Montana where I hunted fished and ski raced most of my early life. My most early hunting experiences consisted of duck hunting on one of my buddy's farms that had several very long warm water sloughs adjacent to the Clark Fork river. Game was always plentiful around the sloughs. If you think a flooded corn or barley pond is good, then when you add 3 feet of snow and -5 temps, they get even better. The ducks didn't want to leave- there was plenty of food left from the grazing cattle close by.

Later I moved to Eastern Washington and finding more geese than we had in Montana made my hunting days very interesting. I got hooked on the chase.

Having to move to Western Washington made traveling to the East side where I hunted a roughly 4 hour trip. I found a good friend that ran a guiding program for waterfowl on one of the biggest farms adjacent to the Columbia river. I spent 18 years hunting that farm and raising my son, Trevor, and teaching him the good and bad days of the hunt. It makes all the difference in the world being able to continue my passion along with my best hunting partner, my son.

Now I hunt from Pasco, Washington to Alberta, Canada throughout the September to January season and never get tired of it!.

Michael Fontana

Hello, my name is Michael Fontana and I live in Pleasanton, California. I am currently working part time for U.S.G.S. while also going to school. I love the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. During the summer you will find me catching bass in small ponds or in the Sierras going for some trout. However, in the winter I will be in the Sacramento Valley chasing ducks and geese.

I was introduced to hunting at the age of 3 by my father but did not start shooting until I was 11. Since I hunt in the Sacramento Valley I shoot a variety of fowl. On a single day I will shoot pintails, mallards, teal, widgeon, and almost every other kind of duck. But my favorite thing to do is chase those big specklebelly geese. There is nothing like having 5,000 specks landing on top of you while answering your call, it's truly amazing. I am very proud to be part of Pacific Custom Calls and look forward to the future with them.
