Scott Turpen
Scott Turpen was born and raised in Tennessee most of that time being in the town of Clarksville in northwest middle Tennessee. Scott's father introduced him to hunting at the age of 7. His first hunting experience was squirrel hunting, but the hunt that got him addicted to waterfowl hunting was an early season teal hunt that same year. Although he was too young to shoot, he was not too young to be hooked.

Scott has duck and goose hunted around northwest middle Tennessee for over 25 years with some of the best hunters in the area and learning from them. He feels that if someone thinks they know everything about waterfowl then they'll never improve their hunting. What keeps bringing Scott back each time is learning more about waterfowl, being with his Dad, friends and introducing someone to the excitement of flock of geese feet dragging 15 yards out when the shot is called. The addiction that Scott has to waterfowling is getting the next flock to do it better than the previous flock. Which is one of the things that brings most hunters back out each time.

Scott Turpen is 36 years old and lives in Clarksville, Tennessee with his wife Donna of 13 years and their 3-year-old daughter, Sarah. Sarah already has her calls, a pink Power Hen and a pink Power Clucker. He is employed by the USDA's Farm Service Agency. During his spare time you can find him spending time with his family, looking for geese or working with his dog "Chief". You can also find him TALKING THE TALK about Zink calls whenever possible.

Scott is adamant about having the most realistic equipment like GHG decoys and it doesn't end with his choice of calls. That's why he has used Zink calls since Fred made the first run of SR-1's back in 2000. He still has that call and has added a few more Zink calls to his arsenal. In addition to being part of the Zink Pro Staff since 2005 Scott is a member of the Avery Pro Staff. Two companies in the industry that he feels provide the best equipment to waterfowl hunters.
