Dan
Culter |
Dan grew up in Greeley, Colorado which lies along the notorious "front range" of the state. He now resides in Cheyenne, Wyoming where he works as a Firefighter for the city department.Dan's father "Dave" taught him most everything he knows about the outdoors, and how to be successful no matter what he is chasing. Waterfowl season is spent guiding for "Woods and Water Outfitters" and fun hunting with his friends any chance he can get. The rest of the year is spent archery hunting and preparing for the next hunt. "Lynch Mob calls have definitely helped me put more birds on the ground." Using the variety of calls in the Lynch Mob lineup has increased the company's totals and made for some unforgettable hunts for many clients. "Shooting at decoying birds is the result of these calls." This is an absolute must in the guiding business and should also be practiced when just hunting for fun. Colorado has become a very productive yet highly competitive area to hunt. Having good tools makes it possible to be successful in tough hunting conditions. Lynch Mob calls make this possible! "Hang'em Low and Shoot'em Close." |

Dave
Ladomer |
Dave Ladomer, 19, has resided
in Grosse Ile , Michigan his whole life. Grosse
Ile, an island at the mouth of Lake Erie,
allows Dave access to some of the best hunting
and fishing areas in Michigan . The Grosse
Ile area holds large amounts of birds giving
him the opportunity to hunt fields, marshes,
and big water. His father, Dave Sr., introduced
him to waterfowling at an early age. After
hunting and guiding in the Southeastern Michigan
area, for over 42 years, Dave's father has
passed down the experience he has gained.
His Father started Dave calling and bought
him his first short reed goose call. This
opened Dave's eyes to the art of calling.
Today his love for calling has brought him
to the stage. Dave focuses a lot of his time
and energy on the upcoming contest season,
in which he hopes to bring home wins with
Lynch Mob Calls.
Dave's love for the outdoors doesn't end there;
he also is an avid fisherman, ranging from
freshwater to saltwater. Also, target shooting
is a big part of his off season hobbies, he
shoots in skeet and trap leagues, but also
enjoys sporting clays, and 5 stand.

Robert
Fields |
I am an Arizona Native, residing
in New River with my wife and three children.
I am 42 years old and currently the Senior
Guide at Cibola Sportsman’s Club.
I am an accomplished caller with a true
passion for Waterfowl Hunting.
I started duck hunting in northern Arizona,
at the age of 9 with my father. It left
a deep impression on me. From that point
on, I was obsessed with duck hunting. At
the age of 14, a close friend, Wally Rogers,
introduced me to goose hunting and it has
been a major priority in my life since that
time. I also enjoy hunting Dove and Quail
in the desert regions across the state and
chasing after Monster Bull Elk in the high
country.
I have to say, I take my calling very seriously.
I embrace any chance I have to learn new
techniques and better myself. I also take
the opportunity to really listen to the
birds to pick up their true sounds and tones.
In 1999, my first year at the club, I was
introduced to short reed goose calls. Now
my call manufacturer of choice is Lynch
Mob Calls.

He has been avidly involved since, spending most of his free time scouting with his wife Jami and his two sons Jeran and Aden. When he is not busy chasing geese Brandon likes to fish with family and friends as well as play softball in city leagues. Brandon's goal is to get as many children and first time waterfowlers in the field hunting as possible.

Nick Lisec
|
Following the migration from Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri is where you can find Nick Lisec throughout the year. The waterfowl bug bit Nick six years ago when he moved out to Kearney, NE to go to college and to this day can vividly remember his first duck hunt. Since that day watching the birds work the decoys, respond to the calling, and the great times shared with friends Nick enjoys every chance he has to get out into the field. Nick grew up in Southeast Nebraska where he hunted pheasants, quail and deer and still enjoys a crisp November morning hunting behind his German Shorthair “Boomer” or sitting in the deer stand waiting for the next big monster buck to come walking by. When Nick is not hunting he enjoys working retail events, giving product demonstrations, and meeting new folks while he Pro Staffs for Avery Outdoors, Inc. Having the chance to work for such an amazing company as Avery has enabled Nick to meet a lot of great people who both stock and use Avery and Greenhead Gear products. Nick was first introduced to Lynch Mob calls while working a retail event for Avery and couldn’t believe what he heard. Among the stacked lineup of goose calls that George Lynch has to offer the “Executioner” is Nick’s favorite. The range of this call is amazing and the big and little geese eat it up day in and day out. Nick has only scratched the surface with what the Lynch Mob call lineup can offer but you can guarantee that he’ll be carrying a “Lynch” to the field every day he’s out hunting.

Rick Murphy
|
I was born in 1982 and grew up in the southern Finger Lakes in the small town of Odessa, NY. I cut my teeth gunning blacks, mallards and wood ducks in a lake inlet with my dear old dad. My first experience with decoying ducks was at age twelve on the south end of Seneca Lake where I shot a box of 20-gauge shells to kill my first drake mallard. From that point on, I was not only hooked on hunting I was hooked on quack. I hunted ducks through my high school days before and after school. When I went to college I gained a wealth of knowledge about waterfowl from my professor, Doctor Losito. Knowledge and time in the duck marsh created an addiction that has only worsened with time. I also bettered my waterfowl hunting skills during college and with a classmate of mine began killing consistent limits of ducks and geese. I graduated in 2004 from SUNY Cobleskill with a Bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Management. I then went on to North Dakota where I worked for Delta Waterfowl. In April 2005, I began working for USDA Wildlife Services out of Brewerton, NY where I am currently a wildlife specialist. Being the fortunate man that I am, I have a beautiful wife named Kim who is always understanding during waterfowl widow season, but I can’t seem to get her to pick ducks. I currently have a young black lab named Cooter that I hope will be an excellent duck hunting partner for many years. I hope I can live to a ripe old age and chase ducks and geese till the day I die.
My off season hobbies are duck taxidermy, dog training, and duck blind construction. I also enjoy turkey hunting in the spring and getting out on an occasional deer hunt in the fall, but I am strictly a meat hunter.

He relishes the everyday he spends in the field with no two being the same. His favorite spots to hunt are on the Red River and the flooded timber of Bayou Meto. He also loves his annual trip to Alberta Canada. Kevin usually hunts waterfowl 40-50 days a year.
When not hunting waterfowl he enjoys hunting whitetail deer, as well as South Dakota Pheasants.
In the off season Kevin enjoys training and trialing labs. He currently has 3 of the running hunt tests and competing in field trials. He also enjoys his time spent at home with his wife Mandy and 3 kids Peyton, Preston, and Presley Kate. When they are not playing sports or attending recitals they love hanging out watching movies.

Tom DeHarde
|
Age: 53
Hometown: Clare Michigan
Employment: Jay’s Sporting Goods, Clare Michigan Store, Game Call Department
Responsibilities: 10 years as Waterfowl Specialist, promoting the sale and use of game calls, decoys, blinds and all other waterfowl equipment. Provide personal instruction to customers.
Background: I began my waterfowl hunting passion in 1970 at the age of 16, duck hunting in Michigan in the Saint Clair flats, and the marsh land in the Harsens Island area near Algonac. Thirty-seven years later, my love of hunting geese and ducks has only grown more throughout the years. My greatest reward is to see the excitement and smiles on the faces of first-time hunters and seasoned veterans alike, while the gun barrels are still hot, after a morning in the field working flock after flock of birds in with our decoys and calls.
Most of these new hunters are now hooked on this new-found passion for waterfowl hunting. They soon will have a garage full of decoys, calls, clothes and other gear to fulfill a passion and love of wetland conservation —just as I have had for the last 37 years.

Chad Ryan

Chad was born and raised on a farm in Underwood, Iowa. He remembers pushing timbers and walking fence lines with his dad before he could carry a gun. And when he wasn’t wrestling he was hunting! Chad hunted quail, pheasants, and whitetails growing up and it was in college when his passion for waterfowl began. His best friend introduced him to waterfowl in the fields of Brighton, Colorado and he just could not believe the amount of birds, and the challenge of calling and decoying them in.
Chad wrestled in college, was a 2X Junior All-American and competed in competition overseas. Coaching is also in his blood, an assistant to an Iowa state championship team, and has coached national teams from Iowa.
During college he was a firefighter for the Forest Service and loved the variety of all the outdoor activities that Idaho had to offer, so he left Iowa and he moved out to Idaho where he surrounds himself with the quantity and quality of hunting. He now calls Idaho home. Chad is 33 years old and resides in Star, Idaho with his daughter Madeline; MJ, and still coaches wrestling when he can. Chad is a Marketing Agent for Ultra Clean Inc. and the Meridian Ducks Unlimited Chapter Chairman.
His new passion is hunting the many miles of the Snake and Boise River and the grain fields that follow them for ducks and geese. As a Pro-Staff member with Avery Outdoors and Lynch Mob Calls and his lab Jake by his side, he travels to Canada, Colorado, and Montana every year to feed his passion. Chad has guided goose hunts in Colorado and he hunts deer and elk in the fall with his bow and never misses an opportunity to be out in the field. Chad values the time with family and friend’s weather hunting or scouting and is excited to teach his kids about the outdoors. Chad’s experience, passion and knowledge of Lynch Mob Call products are a great addition to Lynch Mob’s Pro-Staff.

Brad Getzloff
|
Brad, born in 1981, was raised in central Wisconsin. His father got him into hunting well before he was of legal age. At 12 Brad began hunting all types of game but it wasn't until 15 that he started chasing ducks in the marshes and rivers. This is how he enjoyed hunting most of his waterfowl years, more recently field hunting geese has become his main focus. He enjoys traveling around and meeting others that are as passionate about the outdoors as he is and exchanging knowledge along the way. He feels very fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel to many areas in the Central and Mississippi flyways and Canada.
Brad's passion for calling lead him in a search for the "perfect" call, which eventually brought him to the Lynch Mob line of calls and where he discovered how well the calls fit him and how phenomenal they sounded. He also enjoys the fact that there is a call for every situation, from the high crack and awesome range of the Reaper to the deep goosey sounds of the Wood Slipknot.
During the off season he enjoys softball, bowfishing, water sports, and most importantly spending more time with his very understading wife Jodi.

Kaleb Kramer
|
Kaleb attributes his life long passion for all things outdoors to his dad. He grew up on a farm near the coveted “Golden Triangle” of Colorado. With a 70 acre lake and corn fields only 50 yards from his back door, he had great opportunities to chase anything that moved. At an early age he followed his dad on many hunting adventures for elk, deer and all of Gods tasty creatures. Getting older just made it that much easier and the daily duck hunts during and after school started an obsession. His obsession for calling geese and love for hunting eventually led him to begin guiding. He has been guiding for the past 4 years for everything from geese, duck and upland to fly fishing, bow fishing and predators. “ I run Lynch Mob calls because it’s a great company and because I like my birds belly up on the ground”. He enjoys taking others into the outdoors and teaching them what his dad taught him. “ Kaleb has been a professional photographer since 2000 and runs his business in Greeley, Colorado. His business has allowed him to follow his passions as well as meet a lot of great people. At any time of year he can be found outdoors shooting with guns, bows or a camera.
Kaleb lives near Milliken, Colorado with his wife Jami, daughter Haylee and son Noah.
Weather guiding, or hunting with his 7 year old daughter and 2 year old son he is always passing on his passion for the outdoors and teaching someone how to, Hang em Low. |

Ridge Nelson
|
From an early age Ridge has gone hunting with his father until he was old enough to carry a gun himself. Tom, Ridge’s father, introduced him to the outdoors and hunting when he took Ridge bow hunting with him at four. At eight Ridge shot his first duck, and in the same fall his first deer, since then Ridge has grown has an outdoorsman and person by being a responsible, and ethical hunter. There are many aspects that keep Ridge interested in hunting but the most prominent one is being able to completely absorb nature’s beauty through the outdoors and the field sports, whether it be ducks lighting into decoys or gobbling spring turkeys. Ridge was first introduced to hunting in the river bottoms surrounding Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge. This area is very rich in game including Whitetail Deer, Turkey, Upland Birds, and Waterfowl. He primarily hunts Waterfowl and Deer around Squaw Creek but has hunted in other parts of the country too. As well as being a proud part of team Lynch Mob he is also on the Avery Youth Field Staff.

Matt Zweifel
|
Matt has always been in the outdoors, whether it is fishing, camping or hunting. He started out as a fisherman at an early age, but soon got very intrested in hunting. He first began hunting small game, like squirrels and rabbits, but soon developed an intrest in wingshooting, which led him in the direction of waterfowl. Shortly after, he shot his first greenhead and has had the "disease" ever since.
He enjoys all aspects of waterfowling including, working with dogs, setting up the decoys and most importantly the calling, but he especially likes the anticipation of waiting on the next flock. Living in Kansas, Matt has had the opprotunity to hunt many species of wildlife along with the chance to hunt around many great people. He has also had the chance to hunt alot of neat places in Kansas, but doesnt mind chasing the birds through other flyways either. His favorite way to hunt those giant resident canadas, is corn fields and loafing ponds, but also loves chasing those late season greenheads through cattail ponds and shallow water sloughs. When he isnt practicing calling or scouting for next years honey hole, Matt is also an avid trap and skeet shooter, which keeps him going when waterfowl season is closed. Matt is proud to be a part of Lynch Mob Calls and cant wait to see what the future has in store.

Dale Fitzgerald |
I grew up in central Iowa where I started my waterfowl career as a bird dog for my dad, brothers and Uncle Bob. My uncle took me duck hunting with him as I got older. On one of first hunts I can remember we harvested a small Canada, which was very rare to do in the early seventies. Around home water fowling opportunities were better than upland. Living very close to Two Rivers, I spent more and more time going duck hunting. I was very fortunate to live next to a two time Iowa duck calling champion and he aided me in learning how to call and read mallards. We start our water fowling year off in Minnesota, home to Iowa, Saskatchewan, Iowa again and then finish out in Missouri.
Due to the delay between duck seasons I started tournament bass fishing, which kept me very busy. I was fortunate enough to be selected for the Skeeter State Team and the Evinrude Pro Staff. I also enjoy spending time in the turkey woods in Iowa and Missouri. |

James Smythe |
My name is James Smythe. I am 26 years old and have been hunting waterfowl for the past twenty years. I began going with either my grandfather, or my father and his long time duck hunting friend Mr B. when I was 5 or 6. I would watch every move they made from decoy placement to calling and shooting. From that first season on, I was addicted to the sport of waterfowling! Over the years, as I got older, I was allowed to do more to help them out. I began helping them put decoys out and calling. When I finally got my first gun, a 20 gauge, I felt like I was one of them. Doing everything including bringing home the ducks. My first duck was a pintail that I shot while sharing a blind with my father. I called it in by myself and shot it. That was a long time ago but I will never forget that morning as long as I live.
Since then, I have taken duck hunting to a new level. I hunt strictly over cork and wooden blocks with spreads of no less than 75. I take everything related to waterfowl hunting very seriously. From decoy placement, to blind reeding, to my calling, everything has to be perfect. I live for life in the marsh with good friends, my black lab Clair, and looking skyward for the next incoming birds.
I spend every waking moment of each waterfowl season in the marsh. I hunt hard and when Im not hunting, Im scouting for the next good spot where the birds are. I have guided here in South Carolina for private clubs and plantations. I also guide for call in clients. I absolutely live to duck and goose hunt! In the off season I help my local D.U. and Delta Waterfowl chapters, serving as a committee member for both. I also spend the off season chasing turkeys in the swamps, deer in the woods, and doves in the corn and sunflower fields around the state, and I love to slip in a quail hunt and a snipe hunt when I can. Long and short of it, I love to hunt anything thats in season, but when waterfowling is an option I drop everything to chase ducks and geese.
I am fortunate enough to be employed at a private old South plantation so I spend every day in the woods. Life is great when my office is a 500 acer tract of land that I manage year round for wildlife and waterfowl. I have also recently gotten an old duck club reinstated at one of my lifelong hunting buddies plantation. Our fathers and their friends have grown too old to do the work so we have taken over the tasks at hand and we are getting the ball rolling for a the upcoming season. I look forward to spending many seasons to come, God willing, with Clair and my buddies watching the sunrise over the marsh or rice fields, working ducks and geese into the blocks, and on the good days knowing we were able to Hang Em Low!

Brandon Durland |
Brandon lives in eastern Kansas with an understanding wife (very) and a great pair of boys, ages 5 and 8. Brandon grew up hunting ducks and quail. Some of his best memories are of carrying a bb gun and being with his grandfather, father, brother, and cousins while on quail and duck hunts. It was not until a little later in life that he discovered the obsession of goose hunting. But when he did, he couldn’t get enough of it. Brandon’s two favorite things about the sport are working birds and the fact he can enjoy the hunt with his kids. You can find Brandon in a field or on the river most every weekend and usually once or twice a week during the season. Brandon is honored to be a part of Lynch Mob Calls Inc.
