Brad Allen knows he is leaving competitive duck calling as the best in the world, but a part of him is saddened by it.
Allen won his third title during the World’s Championship Duck Calling Contest on Nov. 31 at the 78th Wings Over the Prairie Festival in Stuttgart, Ark. By rule, callers with three world titles are automatically retired from the event.
