Meet the Mallard Man

My name is Lance, and I’m the founder and craftsman behind Mallard Man. What started as a simple passion for duck hunting and working with my hands turned into something bigger — a way to blend tradition, skill, and the rugged beauty of the desert into every call I make.

I handcraft each duck call from genuine Arizona mesquite wood, a dense, beautiful hardwood that’s as tough and unique as the land it grows from. No mass production. No shortcuts. Every call is carved, sanded, and tuned by hand to give you the sharp, natural sound ducks can’t resist.

Before Mallard Man, I spent years in construction and heavy equipment, building things the hard way — the right way. That same mindset goes into every call. These aren’t just hunting tools; they’re pieces of the desert, shaped with purpose, built to perform.

I believe in faith, family, and earning things the honest way — and I believe when you blow a Mallard Man call, you should feel the same pride I felt making it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Now let’s go hypnotize and paralyze.
