    Alan Hammond

    Huge loss to the NZ waterfowling community.
    His legacy will live on through the many duck callers he made.

    Condolences to friends and family.

    What a bugger!! Bloody top fella.
    I’ve got a beautiful custom parrie call that was a gift from my wife. He went out of his way at short notice to turn it. RIP

    Bloody pleased when I bought one of his callers years ago, they are an art form as well as function. RIP Alan.

    Just found this out in Allen Millers at the weekend.

    I have one of his fallow croakers in cherry wood.
    Exquisite work.
