Knight & Hale Pro Staff
The Knight & Hale Pro Staff consists of expert hunters and game callers from across the United States. We have those "big names" like David Hale, Harold Knight, and Chris Parrish, but we've also got a lot of local folks who know everything from predator hunting to how to win turkey calling contests. You'll see our Pro Staff at sporting goods store events, giving seminars - one might even be teaching the hunter's education course in your area. They are a varied bunch, but they all have one thing in common, a deep, burning desire to share their love of the outdoors with others.

As a competition caller, he's won or placed in more than 200 major contests and won all of the big ones, including the World Championship, Grand National Championship and Champion of Champions contests. Also a mainstay in the deer woods, Stoltz has harvested many Pope & Young whitetails for television and video, most with his bow. Stoltz's energy and experience makes him one of the most popular seminar speakers on the circuit.

 

Richie McKnight

Knight & Hale Ultimate Hunting Team member Richie McKnight works a goose call like Eddie Van Halen plays a guitar. He's won the U.S. Open, the World Open and many, many more goose calling contests. He's also been a waterfowl guide for years, which has given him the knowledge and experience to create a new series of goose calls for Knight & Hale Game Calls. His new Pit Magic short reed goose call is hand turned and features truly worn-in guts. Knight & Hale took the guts from Richie's contest call and precisely reproduced them mechanically, essentially cloning the original. A poly call with the same guts, the Pit Boss, and a flute, the Long Honker, round out the new series.

 

Harold Knight

Knight & Hale Ultimate Hunting Team member Harold Knight is one of the most well known hunters in the industry. Harold is one half of the Knight & Hale team that redefined the hunting industry with innovative products such as the original Tube Goose Call and the patented inhale-exhale operation of the EZ Grunter Plus grunt call, which allows hunters to create the hyperventilating tending grunt. Harold won many national calling contests during his time on the circut, including the World Goose Calling Championship. Even though he's retired from the circut, he remains active as a judge. A lifetime member of the National Wild Turkey Federation, Harold's equally at home hunting turkeys in his home state of Kentucky or taking trophy bull elk in Montana. Harold's Knight & Hale's Ultimate Hunting television program has been one of the most popular hunting programs since its inception as Woods and Wetlands in 1986. Harold remains one of the most admired TV hunters and hosts.

 

David Hale

Knight & Hale Ultimate Hunting Team member David Hale is one half of the team that changed the hunting industry with innovative products such as the Tube Goose Call and EZ Grunter Plus featuring the inhale-exhale operation that enabled hunters to recreate the tending grunt of a mature buck tending a doe. David's Knight & Hale's Ultimate Hunting television program has been one of the most popular hunting programs since its inception as Woods and Wetlands in 1986 and he remains active as a hunter and a host for it and Knight & Hale's successful series of Ultimate Spring and Ultimate Whitetail videos.

 

Tim Herald

Knight & Hale Ultimate Hunting Team member Tim Herald has taken nine wild turkey grand slams and a royal slam. In fact, he took his ninth grand and first royal in one season. He's also completed a single season double grand slam (one with a Knight TK-2000 muzzleloading shotgun) during the 2003 season. National Wild Turkey Federation records indicate that he is only the third person to ever do both in a single spring. Suffice to say, he's a turkey hunting machine. Tim is an outdoor writer and guide when he's not killing turkeys.
