Blake Moore from Ballard County, KY is an avid goose caller and hunter and has been a good customer of mine for a long time. I am so proud to have young men like him enthusiastic about the sport I love. The following words this young man wrote made me feel very humble. A young man like Blake is what will make our sport of goose hunting live on for future generations.
Thank you, Blake! - Tim
My name is Blake Moore. I was first introduced to Grounds' calls by one of my good buddies. He had a PRO Super Mag that I absolutely loved. From the first time I blew that call I was hooked. I ended up buying a Grounds' goose call and it all started from there. I have filled my lanyard with Grounds' calls and in 2005 I started competition calling. I have won two contests and have placed in the top three six different times using a Grounds' call. The very first time I talked to Tim he made me feel like I had known him for years. He was very polite and very respectful. I have had the opportunity to hunt with Hunter, who is just a flat out awesome guy, and is just like his daddy, Tim. Both Tim and Hunter will go out of their way to help you all they can. No matter who you are, they are willing to help with a contest routine, tuning your call, etc. They are some awesome people and I can't thank them enough for what they have done for me and for others. With FOUR decades of fooling judges and fooling geese, Get Ya a Tim Grounds' goose call and Come Get Cha some of a champion.

When I was twelve years old I met Tim in southern Michigan while hunting with my father. He told me that I was a good young hunter in the pit blind. Tim could have easily treated my father and me like no- body’s, but he did not. He gave me his phone number and told me to call him anytime. I did just that! I started guiding at the age of sixteen, and I had many questions about the business. He would always shoot me strait and give me great advice. He also helped me become the goose hunter and person that I am today. If I ever wanted advice – Tim was always the first one I would call. He still helps me to this day without ever giving it a second thought. Tim is truly a model sportsman, and is very passionate about helping others. I commend Tim for standing up and asking water fowlers to help with Cystic Fibrosis. I am the same type of man thanks to him. His passion to help others is greater than any other person I’ve ever met; this is one of the reasons why I consider Tim a good friend of mine. If I can help him out in anyway, I will do so, just like he has done for me and countless other people!

The first time I met Tim we were sitting in a hotel restaurant and he had asked me if I knew how to blow a goose call and I told him that I had just started calling on a short reed a couple months earlier. He then asked me if I had a goose call on me and of course I did. So that is where my first calling lessons took place, in the restaurant, we got a few weird looks but the bottom line is that Tim was so willing to teach me that it didn’t matter at all to him where it took place. Later that weekend after a few more lessons and a little tuning of my Super Mag I was off to my first contest. Even though I didn’t fair so well in that contest he encouraged me to keep with it. Looking back on that who else cares so much about people in general to take that much time to teach. Since then the giving hasn’t stopped from the time that he has spent helping me over the phone to just teaching me how to teach what I know to others. So I’m telling you that you’re not just buying a new goose call or just buying a good helping hand, you’re probably getting a new friend too.
As far as real geese sound goes it doesn’t get any better then the Tim Grounds goose calls line up. He has a goose call for anyone’s needs. The three I use the most in the field are the Half Breed, the HG 007, and a wooden Super Mag. All of them consistently bring geese in and make the sound of a real goose.
So If ya don’t got it, come get it.

Thank you,

Tim,
Just would like to thank you for making a great goose call. I
have a Super Mag and a Long Mag, and they are the best calls I
have ever used. The early season has been a blast and it is the
first year I have used Tim Grounds calls. I am not a contest
caller (although my buddies think I should enter) but rather a
field goose caller and I have to say I have blown many calls but
nothing compares to yours.
What has impressed me the most about your calls is the wide
range of variation. They work great for hails and lay down
grunts. Keep up the good work.

Tim, I'm a new comer to
goose hunting with one season and three honkers to my name.
Tough year in California, but we did our best. I have been
blowing a Half Breed for two years and am pretty good on
it. I also have a Poly Carb, but always go back to the Half
Breed. I killed these two honkers at 15 yards with one
shot. '2 for 1' was a good deal for me. Outlaws, Final
Approach Blinds, and a Half Breed sure do the trick. The
only thing that hangs on my lanyard says "Tim Grounds" on
it. Vernon Leavitt
