Hey, what’s up, Hello
Meet the Trio behind The Burley Co.
In the heart of the Bluegrass State, three college buddies found not only a passion for hunting but also a shared dream of creating an unforgettable experience for fellow outdoor enthusiasts. Hunter Maines, Austin Norton, and Kyle Scott, friends since their days spent at the University of Kentucky, have seamlessly merged their love for the great outdoors and their collective entrepreneurial spirit to establish The Burley Co.
Hunter Maines - The Visionary Pioneer:
With a degree in Economics and Business Administration and a heart firmly rooted in Ale-8 country, Hunter Maines is the driving force behind The Burley Co. Raised in a family of avid hunters, he always envisioned combining his entrepreneurial skills with his love for God’s Country. Hunter’s ability to mimic the sound of a wild animal has proved to be an impressive feat, even for a guy that rocks a mullet sometimes. If they can ever get him to stop throwing calls away because they “aren’t perfect” then they might actually turn a profit, but let’s be honest, that probably ain’t happening. His commitment to providing high-quality calls at an affordable cost sets the foundation for the trio's success.
Austin Norton - The Technical Maestro:
A business genius and a hunting aficionado, Austin Norton is the X’s and O’s maestro behind The Burley Co. Armed with a degree in Elementary Education (after 93 college major changes), Austin combines his “street youths” prowess with a deep understanding of wildlife behavior to craft realistic and immersive game calls. His dedication to creating cutting-edge technology ensures that every call produced by The Burley Co. captures the essence of the wild, providing hunters with an unparalleled experience.
Kyle Scott - The Creative Spirit:
A passionate artist and nature enthusiast, Kyle Scott brings a creative touch to The Burley Co. He somehow ended up with a degree in Civil Engineering and decided to never use it, now, Kyle’s designs not only enhance the aesthetics of the brand but also reflect the trio's love for the natural world. His attention to detail and commitment to authenticity make each Burley Co. game call a work of art. Kyle works as an outdoor video producer so he spends 99% of his time behind a camera, this means when he gets in front of a camera he tries to look tough. Real tough. Kyle’s creative spirit infuses life into the company, ensuring that their products stand out in both functionality and visual appeal.
The Burley Co Journey:
United by their love for hunting and the outdoors, the trio embarked on this entrepreneurial journey to enhance the Game Call experience. The synergy between Hunter’s business acumen, Austin’s technical expertise, and Kyle’s artistic flair has positioned The Burley Co to hopefully grow into a industry known name. Their commitment to providing high-quality calls at an affordable cost ensures that everyone can enjoy the joys of the hunt year after year.
