HuntNut began in 1999 as more of a hobby than a business. Like many of you, I am addicted to hunting and driven to become the best hunter I can be. This drive and enthusiasm led me to develop a plan to turn my love for hunting into a career. With the purchase of a video camera and some initial investigation into game call building HuntNut was born.
I began writing more outdoor hunting articles for many different magazines and video taping feverishly. Whatever the outdoor project was my video and still camera were there to document the activity. Even if I couldn’t find a cameraman (which was 98% of the time) I would rig the camera and attempt to get the story and kill on tape myself. A collection of countless hours of video and photographs slowly developed. Speaking engagements and video presentations soon followed at local churches and outdoor clubs. The response was always positive to my work, which really stoked the fire to continue. These public engagements also led to developing great friendships with many like- minded individuals who were also HuntNuts®.
Through the next several years a business plan developed. My involvement with writing and videography allowed me to meet Mike Evangelista who has become our Director of Field Production and Media Sales. Our friendship and hunting addictions are helping us to develop entertaining videos of Team HuntNut in action. The HuntNut Pro Staff is an integral part of all of these productions. Our pro staff travels across the country chasing different game animals and making new hunting partners along the way. Many of the hunts we go on are self-guided hunts on grounds with public access. Many times we are hunting with friends and family who help us pull off an exciting hunt in their home states. The HuntNut Team prides itself in bringing home real hunts with real people.
Through the years, I’ve started to develop a line of hunting products. The HuntNut goal is to provide new and innovative products that are well made, will provide years of enjoyable use, and are valuable tools. Our call line has been developed with the aid and guidance of some of the best call makers in the country. Each call is made in the USA and the call’s production is quality-controlled by the same master call builders who developed the prototypes. When you choose a HuntNut product, my own personal commitment, as well as the Team HuntNut commitment is built right in. We are committed to hunting, to quality craftsmanship, and to helping you become a better hunter.
