Zink Calls Premium Hunting Calls

About Zink Calls

Zink Calls was founded in 2001 by Fred Zink, a nationally recognized goose caller who identified a demand for high-end custom calls among both field hunters and competitive callers.

Fred Zink, born in Clayton, Ohio in 1970 to a family of hunters and guides, started turning his first call on his father's old Craftsman lathe at age 14.

The company relocated from a 1,800 square foot facility in Clayton, Ohio to a 10,000 square foot facility in Port Clinton, Ohio in 2006, reflecting its rapid growth and success.

Zink Calls has set new standards in the hunting call industry, becoming the official call supplier to the National Wild Turkey Federation in 2016.

Today, under GSM Outdoors ownership, the company continues Fred Zink's commitment to producing premium hunting calls that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern innovations.
