Hi, I'm Ben Stoner from northwest Indiana. I
first met Tim Grounds around 18 years ago at Monkey's Eyebrow
Hunting Area, owned and ran by a good friend of mine, David
Kelley. I was only 8 years old and had already discovered my
love of chasing and calling Canada geese. I talked to Tim
that day and he told me that I had the desire and ambition that
it took to play this game. Back then goose calling was not much of a sport, but Tim told me that some day it would have its
place.
Now I'm blowing a goose call professionally and
guiding for David Kelley, among many others. I am fortunate
enough to have a wife and job that lets me get to the field and
chase honkers about 150 days a year. I have hunted geese in
four different countries and in almost every state that holds
Canada geese or has some fly over. I currently guide full time
at Ultimate Waterfowlers in northeastern Illinois from Sept. 1
until late December. I get to hunt in the heart of the
migration and then I move down to Southern Illinois to guide on
a few different clubs around Crab Orchard and Horseshoe Lake.
I grew up hunting resident geese in northwest Indiana but soon learned resident geese and refuge geese were two different species. Learning to read geese in the air is what will make you a true caller. Whether you are hunting resident geese or refuge geese there is always some little thing you will find that they like which will help you to be successful day in and day out. Many people will read this and won't quite understand, but will come to realize what I am saying. Tim Grounds has been a great teacher for me, and now that he has retired from calling he will be a great judge because I have seen him time after time, when one of us walks off the stage he might say, "You did good, awesome or unbelievable," or he might say, "You should have been cut in the first round." He is 100% honest no matter who you are or whose call you are blowing. I am proud to be where I am in this sport and happy to see it growing the way it is, especially for my son and for every other young caller out there.
Good Luck, |
