Woodhaven Custom Calls
Woodhaven Custom Calls builds turkey and deer calls the old-fashioned way — hand-built, hand-tuned, and made in the USA. Every diaphragm, friction, and grunt call is tuned by ear before it ships, aiming for the most realistic vocalizations possible rather than a mass-produced tone. The lineup covers triple and double reed mouth calls, pot-and-striker friction calls in the Ninja series, and deer grunt and bleat calls — giving turkey and deer hunters a full setup from one trusted call maker.

What Makes Woodhaven Custom Calls Different
Every Woodhaven call is hand-built and hand-tuned by ear before it leaves the shop, not mass-produced to a single tone. That extra step is why Woodhaven calls are known for realistic double- and triple-note yelps, clucks, and purrs that sound like an actual bird instead of a generic reed. All calls are made in the USA, and the lineup spans both turkey and deer hunting — mouth calls, friction calls, and grunt calls from one maker.
Woodhaven Turkey Mouth (Diaphragm) Calls
Woodhaven’s diaphragm calls are built around reed count and cut style to control pitch and rasp. The Red Scorpion is a triple-reed call for hunters who want more volume and a raspier tone, while the Hornet is a double-reed call that’s easier to run for hunters newer to mouth calls. Mouth calls keep both hands free for the gun or bow — the tradeoff is a learning curve that friction calls don’t have.
Woodhaven Friction Calls: The Ninja Series
Woodhaven’s Ninja series covers pot-and-striker friction calls in multiple surface materials. The Ninja Hawk, Ninja Crow, and Ninja OWL use different pot and striker combinations to produce distinct tones, and the Red Ninja Glass uses a glass surface for extra volume and reach in open terrain. Friction calls are the easiest style for beginners to run consistently since the pitch depends on striker pressure and angle, not breath control.
Woodhaven Deer Calls
Beyond turkey calls, Woodhaven builds a line of deer calls for the rut. The Intimidator is a buck grunt call built for aggressive rut vocalizations, The Closer produces a doe bleat and grunt combination, and The Woodsman is a straightforward buck grunt call for calling in cruising bucks during the rut.
Choosing Your First Turkey Call
Hunters new to calling should start with a friction call like the Ninja Hawk — the pitch is controlled by striker pressure, not breath, so it’s easier to sound consistent right away. Once you’re comfortable running a friction call, add a diaphragm call like the Hornet double-reed to run hands-free while you shoulder the gun for the shot. Most experienced turkey hunters carry both styles and switch depending on how call-shy the birds are that day.
