HS Strut Hunting Gear

About HS Strut

HS Strut has been producing the finest turkey calls in the world for more than 30 years.

The brand was launched in 1985 as part of Hunter's Specialties' expansion into the turkey call market, building on the company's founding principles of "For Sportsmen, By Sportsmen."

Parent company Hunter's Specialties was founded in 1977 by co-founders David and Carman Forbes in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, starting with a simple roll of No-Mar camo tape and growing through innovative product development.

HS Strut has become synonymous with quality turkey calling equipment and has supported competitive turkey calling, with products used by professional callers in major competitions including NWTF Grand National Calling Championships.

Today, the brand continues to serve hunters from novices to seasoned veterans with premium turkey calls and hunting accessories designed for success in the field.
