Meet Jeff Foiles

Jeff started hunting at an early age of 6 years old, on the mighty Mississippi River. Jeff’s first shot was out of a J.C. Higgins 12 gauge pump, when he killed 2 Canvasback drakes. That started his 41-year love for waterfowling. He started guiding hunters at an early age, traveling across the United States and Canada doing what he loved and keeping his family fed.

Jeff started the calling circuit in early 1990, winning many championships along the way. Some of Jeff’s most coveted titles include 2003 World All-around Duck and Goose Champion by winning a combination of Speckelbelly Snow Goose, Canada Goose and Duck competitions. He’s also won the 2004 WCA World Championship Goose Calling Contest. His most recent title is the Keystone Regional Duck Calling Contest.

In 1991, Jeff began making his first call by putting together several pieces and turning out barrels. This was the beginning of the championship line of “Strait Meat” Duck and Goose Calls. By 1999, after working several years of waterfowl seminars and shows across the country and meeting some of the best waterfowlers from every flyaway, Jeff decided to make the “Strait Meat Honker” and “Strait Meat Mallard” calls. With the realistic tones of both patented calls, they were an instant success in the field and on the stage. Now with a complete line of acrylic, wood, polycarbonate calls, videos, and waterfowl accessories, Foiles Migrators, Inc., is acclaimed around the world. In 2003, the Foiles Migrators line of “Strait Meat” calls won a crown no other call maker has obtained, by winning 2 World Goose calling Championships and 2 World Duck calling Championships in 1 year. 2004, the success continues with winning the 2004 WCA World Championship Goose and the 2005 Keystone Regional Duck Calling Contest.

Jeff has put a solid shotgun behind his acclaimed calling ... the Benelli Super Black Eagle II. With Jeff’s SBE II and his Strait Meat calls, he’s created a deadly combination. Jeff and his wife Andrea have 5 children, Lisa, Crystal, Jenna, Kyle and Cole. Cole, 10, has already started following in his dads footsteps by winning several Jr. Duck and Goose Championships.
