About Wiley Outdoor Products, LLC
Wiley Outdoor Products, LLC is the manufacturer of Flextone Game
Calls, Remington Game Calls, Dead Ringer Game Calls, and the Flexblind
Boat Blind. Tom Wiley, an avid duck hunter, was working as a nurse
at the Oktibbeha County Hospital. At about 4 A.M. one morning, Tom
picked up a piece of surgical tubing left over from putting a chest
tube in someone. He thought, “I bet this would make a good
duck call”. He turned a spare bedroom into a workshop and
began making duck calls from this tubing. The first Flextone calls
were made in that spare bedroom in late 1997.
Everyone who heard the calls was impressed at how the flexible
tubing produced a truer, more natural sound by more accurately mimicking
the soft, flexible tissue of an animal’s neck and tongue.
Tom later began to sell the calls to local stores and at trade shows.
Sales grew rapidly, and Tom was forced to quit his job as a nurse
to keep up with demand. Tom began to develop more calls, since he
was now a full time call maker. He created a deer call out of flexible
tubing, which has become his best selling product to date. The deer
call’s flexible call body allows the user to change tones
by simply squeezing the call at various, labeled pressure points.
Also, the call is silent if accidentally coming into contact with
the user’s gun or bow. Tom received a patent on flexible game
calls in August of 2000 and began licensing calls for Remington
in 2002. The company has grown rapidly which has brought about change.
The office has gone from Tom’s house to the back of The Bass
Shop in Starkville, and now to two separate locations. The products
are manufactured and distributed from a warehouse in Pearl, MS,
and a new sales office and showroom has just been opened this year
in Starkville. The line has gone from just a few calls to over 100
products, and has grown from duck calls only to calls and gear for
all types of hunting. These products can be found in almost 1,000
stores across America. The major retailers include Cabela’s,
Bass Pro Shops, Mack’s Prairie Wings, and Woods-N-Water to
name a few. They can also be found in most local sporting goods
stores such as Mean Mallard in Jackson, Big Buck in Hattiesburg,
Hunter’s Hollow in Oxford, and Van’s in Rankin County.
In 2003, Wiley Outdoor Products, LLC introduced the Flexblind,
a boat blind for waterfowl hunters designed by Tom Wiley. The versatility
and simple design has made the blind a huge success. Most recently,
Wiley Outdoor Products has acquired Dead Ringer Game Calls. This
new line of calls consists of high end acrylic duck and goose calls,
and hand-crafted turkey calls. Wiley Outdoor Products, LLC also
makes accessories, such as lanyards, game totes, hunting videos,
instructional media, etc. All of these products can be seen on the
website (www.wileyoutdoorproducts.com), or by calling 877-9WE-HUNT

About Wildgame Innovations
Wildgame Innovations is a family owned and run company that was officially
founded in early 2002, but really started its grassroots back in the mid-90s
when the quality deer management movement got going.
Being avid deer and wild game hunters, we had begun managing our own 1,100 acre
deer lease in Northern Louisiana. After field testing nearly every "nutritional
supplement/attractant" available on the market at that time, we felt as if
we were not having any luck at all. The deer numbers just were not increasing and
deer that we were seeing were not getting any bigger or better.
We wanted something that would attract, hold, and grow more deer on our property.
That’s when we decided that if you are going to do something right you have
to do it yourself.
Since that very moment, we have been testing everything we can get our hands on
that is supposedly known to not only to attract and hold large numbers of deer, but
also grow them into the quality whitetail that all of us hunters are looking for.
Through the success that our family, friends, and others had achieved with our
"test products," we felt that we had something special that we could
market and share with our fellow hunters.
Five years later Wildgame Innovations has become one of the fastest growing
companies in our segment of the hunting industry, and we finally have some good
looking bucks hanging on our walls. After our years of research and testing in
the deer woods across the nation, coupled with feedback from our great customers,
we have steered away from gimmick products that don’t get results, and
focused on products that not only get results, but are nutritious for all game.
Whether you are looking to simply attract deer, or actually start your own
management program, Wildgame Innovations' products will meet both, you and your
deer’s needs. We realize that if your hunting experience isn’t
improved through the use of our product, then we will lose you as our valued
customer. It’s these expectations that we strive for in every one of our
products. In fact, we are so confident in the performance of our products, we use
them in all of our hunts on the television and DVD series called "Giant
Whitetails". We encourage you to watch our acclaimed hunting shows and
experience first hand the power of Wildgame Innovations’ nutritional
attractants.
We hope that on your next hunting trip, you will try one of Wildgame Innovations
products and experience the alluring power of our products for yourself. Only then
will you see why we say…. "Nutrition, Attraction, and
Action."
