Meet the Call Maker:

Occupation:
Executive Chef for the ARAMARK Corporation.
After attending Rocky Mt. College in Billings, Montana Jake took a full time job cooking in a local Boise area restaurant. He soon fell in love with cooking and entertained the idea of going to culinary school but was offered an Apprentice Position under one of the area's top pastry chefs. Jake now works for the ARAMARK Corporation - the largest contract food service company in the United States - and loves his current roll as the Executive Chef at the Boise Citi Group location. He still misses the fast pace world of the restaurant life but cherishes the slower pace lifestyle he can have in the contract food service business.

Hunting:
Jake was born and raised in southwestern Idaho and still makes his home in the small town of Homedale. Jake grew up on an upland hunting club in Homedale, Idaho which ran private and guided hunts for Pheasants, Chukars, and Bob White Quail. Along with the hunting club his parents also operated a sporting clays range were he spent most of his summers trapping clays and pounding targets when he could talk one of his 5 brothers into trapping clays for him. Jake spent a good deal of time helping his father with the hunting club but never really gained a passion for upland hunting due to the fact that it became more of a job than something he enjoyed. The Hyer boys did find a little piece of wing shooting heaven when Jake's father leased a section of land along the Snake River for the hunting club. They soon put in several blinds in this area and learned the art of waterfowl hunting. Jake took his passion to the next level a few years after he graduated from high school and now spends close to 80 long days in the grueling 107-day season of the Pacific Flyway. Also along his side in the field is his wife Kacey and soon he hopes his three sweet daughters will join them. He enjoys all types of waterfowl hunting from Divers in Big water, Puddle Ducks on the Marshes, and Honkers and Green Heads in the Cut Corn Fields...

Contests Calling:
Jake stepped into the Calling Contest in 2007, with his 1st contest being the Idaho State Open Duck, he placed 4th in the Open along with placing 4th in the Novice Duck. Later in the summer of 2007 Jake placed 4th again in the Novice and 4th in the Open Duck at the Snake River Duck and Goose Calling Championship. Jake and 4 other hunting buddies and contest callers have formed a team called the “Banded Brothers” to help promote and build the sport of contest calling in Idaho. He hopes in the near future that he can get over the hump of 4th place and place in the top 3 in a contest, and soon can represent the State of Idaho at the World Duck Calling Championship.
