Founder J. A. “Joe” Kolter

   J.A. Kolter was born in Minnesota, grew up in Wisconsin and has lived in Iowa for the past 40 years.
He was introduced to duck hunting in the 60’s and has been hooked ever since.  He began making custom
waterfowl calls in his garage back in 1979.  He is now retired and had worked primarily as a self employed
contractor and  certified building inspector.  He enjoys making furniture and wood fishing plugs, cooking 
and gardening, but mostly likes to spend his time fishing and hunting. 
   J. A. Kolter spent over 25 years working with hundreds of different wood species to find the true sound 
performer hardwoods he uses to date.  His custom made calls are crafted one at a time using the finest 
properly seasoned hardwoods and given a high quality finish.  His calls are turned freely on the lathe to 
form their basic model design and can be identified by model and year markings on the recessed part of the 
tone insert.  They are then engraved either on the band or barrel with his personal handwritten signature.

The J. A. Kolter Philosophy

   It is the intent of J. A. Kolter to fit the call to the hunter who desires to successfully work birds.
Therefore, each call is hand tuned to have its own individual performance level and characteristics.
Every effort is made not to duplicate calls by the use of production equipment.  He believes that every duck
or goose sounds different as well as each hunter who uses waterfowl calls.  More than anything he feels 
that hunter education in call care and performance use while in the blind or on the marsh is critical to 
overall hunting success.
