[doublespurs21]

  when you start collecting turkey calls. what do you guys look for ?? do you try to find some of the callmakers earlier calls, banquets call, one of the kind calls?? if one callmaker has a zillion calls made, what do you look for???

I focus mainly on one callmaker,I try to get one call for every year he has made them.Also any odd woods,banquet,etc.

I try to get a call from each of my friends that make calls.  The problem is that the longer you are on these forums the more friends you make.
I gots a lot of calls.

I am more into buying a call that I will hunt with. I "collected" for a while but priorities have changed. There are a ton of talented people here. I could not spend the amount some can but try looking for a wood they have not used or something. KP calls and Richard Hudson are a treat to deal and talk with. Have fun!!

Great question! Some start with award winning call makers but as West Augusta said, have many friends that build great calls and I get from them.  Then look for call makers that u think will make a name for them selves and get their early calls. Once you start collecting, it becomes an addiction

I like to get calls from friends especially from those makers who have been recommended to me or who I know have a great reputation. You will get to know many guys from here and have honest evaluations posted about their calls. I enjoy getting to know different makers and then using their calls to hunt, makes the whole process come together for me. They will become a great source of info about other calls to pick up as well. As Silverspur said it will become an addiction. Best advice I can give is to collect what makes you happy to have and not worry about anything else.

When I started I bought as many as I could from most anywhere. It evolved to a personal bucket list of clambers that I have developed friendships with and in general appreciate there work.
