How often do you...
« on: June 05, 2012, 09:06:37 AM »
Just take your calls out and sit and call on them?    I had a lot of different calls at one time well over 150 calls, all are gone now but a few. :'(  . and just about every night would sit for at least an hour and call on every call in that box, one at a time. Would drive my wife crazy  ROTFLMBO

Working out of town, the only thing I bring with me is a wingbone, which I play every day. The others I play when I get home on weekends. Mostly boxes, wingbones or trumpets.

I run calls everyday also it just turned into a habit with me. Some days boxes another day slates and everyday a couple trumpets. Practice is good as when you go hunting whatever calls you are carrying that day you can pull them out and call with confidence.

Ive been running calls all morning .I play calls every day practice ..Practice and practice .I believe the best practice is with 
 a hen that wants to yapppp. Also when running a box call run a diaphragm call and try to mimic yourself from purrs to cuts  clucks yelps one note to the next bring it all together

I usually run trumpets and other calls every evening once Im home, my dresser has a pot, wingbone, trumpet and box all the time. I switch them out everyweek to run different ones. Its theraputic to me, some people smoke and drink to relax and relieve stress, I run calls.  *up*

Every time that I tune a striker.  I keep my hunting calls in a carry bag during the off season.  I would say, 3 or 4 times a week.

I run calls several times per week. Lately, I spend most of my time with scratch boxes and trumpets. I love them all. My wife, however, has never heard a call she does not despise. Volatile in the house....lol

I run calls anytime the house is empty,  I run them in the car going to work about 6 weeks before either fall or spring season.  I have friends that makes calls and I run em if in their shops when given the opportunity.  I watch turkey video/DVDs everyday.  Its good to stay in synch with the wild turkey and all of its additctions

Not every day but pretty often.  No too hard around my house to just pick one up wherever you are at.  Wife is pretty tolerant. In fact, she really has a great ear for the sound.  AND she says she has dibs on ANY and EVERY call first.  So she has her own little collection going on! ;D

Several times a week but not every day.  Doesn't go so bad until I start elk bugling.  That's when I usually get kicked out of the house.

My wife also has a great ear and can tell me what wood the box call is made of, with great accuracy. Made Her, her own 8 call case and, I've caught her practicing when she thought I was not home. She has not hunted yet, which suits me fine.
Some evenings 100+ calls will need tuned. It used to bother her until I handed her the end result of all the noise.
Very often I have gotten caught in the (spell) a certain call has put on me, and time seems to stand still.
I know I have a problem but, it's ok. :)
