The 2021 Goose and Duck Calling contests were held at the inaugural Waterfowl Hunters EXPO (WHE) on Saturday, August 28th, with a new and larger crowd, but a result similar to a couple of previous contests. Benny Breitkreutz of Horicon, WI, took top honors in the adult duck calling contest, for his third (and final) time. Chance Wadsworth of Hager City was the premier goose caller in his first victory in this contest.
Paul Smith, outdoor writer for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, provides some more information in this article. If you want to see the winning duck caller in action check out this facebook post … and while you are there, follow the WHE page to stay tuned to what’s happening with the EXPO next year!
Sponsored by Sherper’s sporting goods (“Everything for the Great Outdoors and More!”) and hosted by WWA, the winning callers go on to the national contest in Stuttgart and Easton, respectively.
By the way, in addition to the trophies, the first place winner received a $500 gift certificate to Sherper’s, the second-place winner received a $300 gift certificate, and third prize took home a $100 gift certificate.
