Harold Knight
In 1971, David Hale and Harold Knight had become friends and hunted turkeys in
some of the same areas of LBL. There were six gobblers killed in LBL that year, and
Mr. Dave Harbour killed one with Harold’s call. Dave Harbour wrote an article in
the Sports Afield magazine entitled ‘How a New Tube Tricked an Old Kentucky
Gobbler.”
Instantly, that story put Harold in the turkey call business. He got close to 2000
letters from hunters around the country wanting a call. Harold and David put
together calls in the basement of Harold’s house and their little business survived
off that one call for the next three years. Harold and David wanted to make
enough money off the calls to go to South Missouri Turkey Hunting.
This was the beginning of Knight & Hale.
In 1979 Harold designed a goose call and went to the World Goose Call Contest in
Chesapeake Bay and won and then won 4 more times over the next few years.
In 1984 Harold and David decided they had to become full time Game Call
Makers.
Harold is the Inventor of –
Tube Goose Call – won World Championship 5 times
Other calls that won Grand National and other awards are;
Inhale/Exhale Deer

Double Cluck Goose Call
He is the co-host of the national TV series “Woods and Wetlands” and has been
featured in numerous magazine and newspaper articles.
