Title: Package from Lonnie
Post by: hunter22 on February 27, 2011, 07:54:36 AM
I got this group of fine callers from Mr. Lonnie Sneed. I had the pleasure of talking to Lonnie at length about his calls and turkey hunting in general. A finer man you will not talk to. And can he ever run a turkey call!! I do not do these calls justice but even I can sound like a turkey with these!! These calls are not fancy. They are calls made for the turkey woods.

Top left is a Tree Yelper. Top right is an aluminum kee kee pot.
Bottom left is Raspy Boss Hen slate. Bottom right is a Hot Hen slate.

Got to say your set now, don't have a tree yelper myself think I'll stop by and maybe do a little trade'n with Lonnie.
Ricky that KEE KEE aluminum is finicky you have to take that fine paper and lightly polish a mirror finish along the track side. When it's right I've never heard a better kee come from a pot. You got a nice haul there buddy.

NO, it is Not Obvious, by any means Jim. Never, have I heard a Slate call, referred to as a " YELPER ".  *wha*

Before you heard the NAME CALLED, , or Owned this call, Had you ???

I didn't think so.

Why don't you just go ahead & make your point Jeff ...

... you key'ed right on in on the term "Yelper", & it's use in conjunction with a soft callin' "Tree Type Caller" ...
... so, just what is it that ya' wanna' let us all in on ... ;)

Little Simpler than that Jim.

 It just said " Tree Yelper ", I was looking fer one, and didnt see it.

Didnt Key in on the Lil Slate call being named by the Maker, "Tree Yelper", till a lil Late, that simple.

No secret meaning, just a simple question, where was the yelper?, as I am sure Many did the same.

Didnt mean to get into a pizzn Match, with someone so much more Knowledgable than I am on the Subject of Game calls. I am sorry.
