Eagle, Idaho — October 27, 2025
Slayer Calls, the Idaho-based company known for hand-tuned, American-made hunting calls, has released its newest American-made duck call: The MC — a call that merges old-school craftsmanship, modern Slayer performance, and a message of faith at its core.
Designed in partnership with Slayer’s own Matt Carey, a dedicated waterfowler and member of the Slayer team, the MC was born from a simple vision: to create a high-performing duck call made in America at an accessible price point — without sacrificing sound quality or build integrity.
“I wanted to design a call that every hunter could afford — one that still carried the same Slayer sound and heart we’re known for,” said Carey. “The MC represents that balance: affordable, reliable, and ready for the blind.”
The MC Duck Call blends old-school tradition with modern Slayer performance. Built on a classic J-frame design, it features old-school flattop checkering for that timeless look and feel, paired with a new-school tone board engineered for today’s hunters. Tuned to hit everything from soft, squeaky feed chuckles to ringing hail calls that turn distant flocks, the MC delivers lifelike sound and precision. Its tapered mouthpiece gives hunters total control over airflow for unmatched versatility in any hunting situation.
Beyond craftsmanship and sound, the MC carries a deeper message. Each insert is engraved with Romans 1:20 — one of Carey’s favorite Bible verses:
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — His eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”
“That verse has always reminded me that every sunrise, every moment in the blind, is more than just another hunt,” Carey explained. “It’s a chance to see the Creator’s handiwork firsthand. I wanted that truth built into the call as a quiet reminder of gratitude.”
Handcrafted, tuned, and tested in Idaho, the MC reflects Slayer’s unwavering commitment to American-made duck calls and the authenticity of hunters who live what they build. Priced to welcome new hunters and durable enough for seasoned waterfowlers, it’s designed to be a call you can learn on, master, and never outgrow.
A Note from Slayer CEO, Bill Ayer
“Matt is an avid and passionate waterfowler,” said Bill Ayer, founder and CEO of Slayer Calls. “He’s well-versed in both cutdown and J-frame duck calls, which made him the perfect person to help design a modern-sounding call with a traditional look. The MC reflects that balance — real-world performance built on time-tested roots.”
“This season, you’ll find three calls hanging on my lanyard: the DUBAR, the Yolo Bypass, and now, the MC. Each one represents a piece of who we are as a company — calls designed by hunters, for hunters, and built right here in the USA.”

The Slayer team is so fired up about the release of the MC American-made duck call that they’ve built a lineup of exclusive bundles around it — each one capturing a different side of waterfowling, from faith and finesse to full-send performance.
