The 2007 Callmakers & Collectors Association of America (CCAA) Working Call Contest was held on October 13, 2007 at Reelfoot Lake in Samburg, Tennessee. Thirty-five call makers entered eighty calls in four divisions: A - Metal reed calls, B - Natural wood calls, C - Acrylic calls, and D - Open calls. This was a working call contest that was judged on the calls ability to "bring in the ducks" and the quality of construction. Injected molded and/or CNC made calls were not allowed. For official rules and judging criteria visit CCAA Working Duck Call Contest.
The 1st & 2nd place calls in each division were awarded ribbons.
The 1st place calls from each Division then competed for Best of Show Honors.

Dixie Land Calls would like to congratulate Devlin Hodges on
winning the 2007 H2XPO Junior Duck Calling Contest. The competition was held
at the 2007 AL H2XPO Hooter and Hollers Calling Classic and Sportsman's Expo in Huntsville,
Alabama.
This is Devlin's second win this year also taking first place honors at the 2007 Central Alabama

Competition routines consist of a 90 second routine where callers are judged on their ability
to simulate a hail call, greeting call, comeback call, and feed call in hunting style sequence.
Callers are judged and scored during three rounds of competition with the highest cumulative score
awarded as the winner.
The H2XPO Junior Duck Calling Contest was open to all callers from any state that were 12 years
old and under.
Devlin is the son of Amy and Zane Hodges of Kimberly, Alabama. Devlin has a younger brother
named Duncan.
