On August 27, 2006, the Delmar Waterfowl Club in Dover Delaware hosted the Delaware State and Delaware Bay Open Duck and Goose calling contest. The event consists of 11 contests that allow callers of all ages and skill level a chance to participate. This year’s event was organized by Avery Pro-Staffer Allan Stanley. Allan has been organizing this event for the past 12 years, but expanded the contest to 11 contests in 2005. This year’s event was sponsored by Avery Outdoors, Delmar Waterfowl Club, and several call manufactures including Allan Stanley Game Calls.

His partner in the Delaware State Team Duck was Scott Bauswell. Jacob also finished 3rd in the Delaware State Goose Calling Contest.

Allan and the members of the DelMar Waterfowl Club do an outstanding job organizing and hosting this contest each year. For any caller that is thinking about attending, I would suggest you give it a try. It is a very well run contest. With 11 contest in one day, a caller has the opportunity to blow in more then one contest during the day.
