The Bones >> Born from John's Personal Jig <<

Introducing the first production run of “BONES.”

The Bones was born from John's personal Jig, which he uses for his J. Stephens “Improved” model duck call, AKA the “Weirdo.”  

“ I was wanting to design a call that had the same signature 'crunch' of a Daisy Cutter, but wanted it to be freer and more aggressive. I also wanted it to work effortlessly on the bottom end, so that it was very easy to produce soft sounds. Where we hunt, we need volume, but we also need to be able to work them close in the buck brush, with soft clucks, quacks, and cadences. I started off with a tone board directly off my jig. I took it hunting the next day, then brought it back to the shop and tweaked it. This went on for several weeks until I got it where I wanted it. When asked about what the call sounded like, I first told someone it has that raspy crunch on top that I love in the call, but also has a super sexy, seductive lower end. It’s like poison… “ - John Stephens. 

So we put the poison symbol on the barrel until we come up with an official name. For now, we nicknamed it “Bones”.
