On Nov. 3, legendary call maker John Taylor will release a limited-edition, commemorative goose call named the “John Walls Signature Series Three-Peat” in honor of the call’s namesake and his back-to-back-to-back wins at the World Goose Calling Championship in Easton, MD.
Walls is the only caller to win three titles in a row on a short reed goose call, and Taylor says that warranted looking into the idea of releasing a special, commemorative call.
“We don’t want to do it as a money grab,” Taylor says. “It’s just something that had never been done before, at least not on a short reed.” The call is a fantastic option for both contest caller and hunter. For those looking for a call that has the range to reach any note they want in the field, the Three-Peat will be a fantastic option to help add birds to the bag-limit.
When John Taylor started making goose calls, he never wanted to be a “call maker”. He simply wanted to make a goose call that would work for him in the field and on the stage. The call he originally made was titled the “SHORETHING”, and for those who are familiar with the call, know how lethal the SHORETHING has been for hunters across the nation.

But after some time had passed, a team of hunters and contest callers alike found that Taylor’s calls were helping them kill geese and win titles, and the demand for more calls became evident. That’s when Team SHORETHING was born, and Taylor started to make more and more calls.
After a while, Taylor decided he wanted to create a call that was shorter and could be used to hunt lessers and in more of a traffic hunting scenario. After designing multiple prototypes, he let his team of callers try them out. While the majority found favor with a tapered bore, it was Walls that liked the straight bore design. “I just told Walls, ‘Sorry, majority rules,’” notes Taylor, and the design that was favored by the majority was put into production by what is known now as the Kill Gene in the Bay Country line up.
Walls, however, liked that straight bore design so much, with a mallard green barrel and ivory insert, that he held on to it for his own use, and used it to win three consecutive world titles.

John Walls is the only caller in history to win the world title three times in a row on short reed goose call. “When people asked how to get one of the calls that Walls was using, I always had to tell them that we didn’t actually make that call. It was just a prototype. But when someone puts three world titles on a specific call, you start to look at building one and offering it to people,” says Taylor.
It was fitting that this call should come out so close to the World Waterfowl Festival and the World Goose Calling Championship, as Walls now has the chance to be the first competitor in history to win three straight titles, and then win the Champion of Champions title this year. Lee Williams, another caller using the SHORETHING call is also competing in the Champion of Champions competition. Taylor and the team at Bay Country have a lot to cheer for these next few weeks!
The John Walls Three-Peat will go on sale Nov. 3rd at 6 p.m. EST at baycountrycalls.com . It will be a limited run of 100 calls, each one numbered, with the same colors and the same configuration of the call that John used to win his three world titles.
