History
Established in 1975.
Echo was established by Rick Dunn in 1975. Rick started hunting at the age of twelve with his brother, Danny. Danny and Rick certainly had some great hunts. It wasn't until years later that Rick decided to try to make his own Duck Call. Granted, Mr. Dunn's first attempts were poor, to say the least. However, he didn't give up. Of course, Rick knew he could undoubtedly make a call that would suit him. Gradually, Rick hand-turned more and more duck calls as a hobby.
The funny thing about Rick's call was as soon as someone heard it, they thought it sounded great wanted to buy it. At that moment, Rick figured that he should give his calls a name and before long, maybe sell a few as a hobby. "Echo" was the first name he thought of and then stuck with it. After that, Echo Calls was born. Over time Echo, unquestionably had become one of the most popular duck call companies around. Eventually, reaching to hunters all around the world.
