Hard Core Prostaffer: Brian Laux

Brian Laux was born and raised in North East Ohio. He currently resides in Columbia Station, Ohio with his wife and two children. Brian was introduced to the outdoors at an early age by his late father. He grew up chasing walleye on Lake Erie and later in life focused his passion of the outdoors on chasing waterfowl. Brian can remember the first time he hunted geese and had them respond to his call. From that point forward he was hooked. He now spends 5-6 months a year chasing waterfowl and spends the rest of the year getting ready for the next season.

Brian is the co-owner of Crooked River Guide Service located in Northern Ohio. He and his partner John Beckwith chase waterfowl from September all the way through late January. Both John and Brian have been blessed to be able to guide in the goose hunting hot bed of North East Ohio. Brian is also the Pro-Staff manager for JBC Outdoors. In addition to his duties at JBC and HardCore decoys, he is also on the Long Leaf Camo pro-staff.

Brian has spent several years competing in calling contests. He has won the Ohio State Goose calling contest 3 years running and has several other first place finishes as well as several runner ups. Brian looked for a way to extend his waterfowl season and found no better way than to step out of the blind and on to the calling stage. In the off season Brian can be seen in the waterfowl community giving calling lessons and hosting hunting seminars.
