Meet the Team

Tom Wiley’s entry into the hunting industry followed an unconventional path. In 1995, while working as an Emergency Room Nurse, Tom developed a game call design using surgical tubing. In 1998, Tom founded Wiley Outdoor Products to manufacture and market Flextone brand game calls. In 2000, after receiving a patent for his flexible game call design, he left his nursing career behind.

He has successfully marketed various game call designs (Flextone Brand Game calls and Remington Game Calls) to many major hunting retailers and distributors including Wal-Mart, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Gander Mountain and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Tom sold the assets of Wiley Outdoor Products, LLC to Wildgame Innovations in late 2007, but is still involved in new product development. His vast experience in the hunting industry has contributed to a reputation within his territory as a well known expert in many facets of the industry and sport that he loves.

On the sales and marketing front, Tom has created many successful advertising campaigns and dealer/distributor promotions. His current web project will bring all of the dealers in the southeast territory up to cyber speed with some viral marketing through his web site www.wileyoutdoorproducts.com and www.youtube.com. On the service front, Tom has developed relationships with the dealers and distributors in his territory that go beyond the ordinary. Training is key to Tom’s success and he has hosted many shooting/hunting/training events that have contributed to a team of experts behind the counter.
