The Ironbuck | The First Metal Deer Call | Why Hunters Are Paying $99 W. Michael Birky

What if the deer call in your pack was built to outlast your truck, your season, and the plastic calls everyone else is still replacing?

Michael Birky, founder of Knowhere Outdoors, breaks down the story behind the IronBuck - the first metal grunt tube designed to solve the problems hunters have dealt with for years.

Birky shares how a devotional for hunters turned into a full product company, why he spent months testing more than 30 prototypes, and how he engineered a call that sounds nothing like the “tin can” skeptics expected.

The result is a premium, modular system built for serious hunters who are tired of broken reeds, frozen calls, and gear that feels disposable.

You'll discover:

• Why the IronBuck uses a heavier reed and metal soundboard to create volume without a harsh metallic tone
• How the long threaded design sets up future accessories like a snort wheeze, doe bleat, fawn distress, and saddle-hunting hook
• What makes the call different from standard plastic grunt tubes in the woods, in the cold, and under real hunting pressure
• Why Birky built the line to be customizable, expandable, and warrantied for the long haul

I press on the real questions hunters care about most - noise, freezing, durability, and whether a metal call can actually outperform the plastic staples everyone knows.

If you care about gear that earns a place in your pack, this episode is for you.
