Call swap?????
« on: July 31, 2011, 01:47:37 PM »
I would like to propose a call swap to beat the August doldrums.  I'm sure almost everyone out there has a Custom made turkey call that they wouldn't mind parting with in hopes of getting one that suits them better.  It would go like this:

(1) Any CUSTOM MADE turkey call in new or like new condition would qualify, whether made by the participant or by someone else.
(2) Interested members of Osage Roost should RESPOND TO THIS POST by August 15.
(3) I will list participants alphabetically by screen name and post a list soon after.
(4) Each participant will contact the name on the list below him and get his mailing address. (Bottom man will contact top man)
(5) Send a call to that person before the end of the month.

This sounds like a good idea, but you use the term, "that suits you better. ". In the formatthat you are proposing, that might not be the case, because I would have to take the call that the man ahead of me is offering. The same for the person behind me. That call might not "suit me". I think this is a great idea, but I also wonder if there is another way of doing it.

Patrick,
I'm trying to keep it simple.  I guess if the call isn't one that you would like to keep, you could swap it off next month!  I'm open to suggestions, though.

MISFIRE:You are in.

Swapping calls sounds great. Got to work out the details. Are the calls going to be of equal value or pot for pot and box for box?

Again, what I had in mind was "any custom call."  Just trying to keep it simple and see how many are interested.  I didn't want to exclude any group by limiting the swap to a certain type of call.  I think the more simple we make this, the more successful it will be.  At the worst,  interest will die out after a couple of months and we can write it off as a bad experiment.  Best case scenerio is that it could be a monthly feature here on Osage Roost, with the possibility for all of us to broaden our collections and have fun doing it.

Knowing the caliber of people who "roost" here, I don't expect any "junk" to be traded.

I was thinking that if you are trading a call, I wouldn't think anyone would trade a very good call would they? So what kind of quality could one expect? To me most would be ones that don't sound very good.
