Meet Our Pro Staff

 

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.
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.
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.
