Call swap call from Gobbleking57
« on: September 08, 2011, 08:00:00 PM »

I was sitting by the mailbox in anticipation of my call from the August call swap today.  Bingo!  The postlady made me a happy guy!  Well worth the wait, this is a slate on dogwood pot and it has a great sound! Thanks, Garrett!

Glad you like the call Tom...dogwood is one of my favorite turkey woods for a call...That one has actually been field tested and was the demise of two birds...Don't know if you like 3" calls but I like the way it fits in the hand....

Great looking call Garrett. *up*    When I saw it Tom, somehow I knew Jeff was going bring BIG EARS into the thread.   *aah*  You know Tom,  the older I get, the bigger I wish my ears were in the turkey woods.  My hunting buddy actually has a pair of huge Mickey Mouse ears made by some turkey mfg. to hear them better in the woods.  This was before electronic ears became the thing.

I need something Kang, I was down at xxxxxxx( I mean a public forrest) a couple of years ago with my son.  We were standing on a high listening spot overlooking a tremendous bottom.  I was making a few calls on my old Stribling just after light.   I made a couple of more, and he said, "CAN'T you hear them dad,  they are about 4/5 of a section on the other side answering every call you make."  Thanks for young ears!!!  I killed one of the three after my son hunted them for 2 days and gave them back to me.   I think it is all that close duck blind shooting that I did in my younger years.
