Barnie Calef
It didn't take Calef long to realize that not only was the sport of duck hunting becoming a passion, but that he truly had a knack for the art of duck calling as well. He spent time as a professional guide in both Kansas and Nebraska. In 1983 he made the decision to enter the field of competitive duck calling. Several regional and state championships soon followed and in 1989 he captured his first World Duck Calling Championship. He added a second World Championship trophy to his collection in 1999 and in 2000 he made history. When Calef walked off the stage in Stuttgart, Arkansas in November of 2000 he had won his third World Duck Calling Championship, and in doing so, became the first person in 26 years to win back to back championships. His third title, which forced him into automatic retirement, put him into an elite fraternity of callers. Only five others have won three world titles since the inception of the contest 70 years ago. In addition to his three world championships, he has 8 top ten finishes at the world, as well as 13 state and regional titles and the 1999 K's Traditional Championship. When he's not talking duck and hunting waterfowl, Barnie Calef can be found passing on his knowledge of calling and hunting at various seminars and promotions, as well as judging calling contests. Waterfowl is his passion, but he also enjoys chasing pheasants and turkeys and is an accomplished bass fisherman with tournament wins under his belt. |
