With Bruce and Rickey and headed to ole David Ferguson's. Man what a much needed treat that was for me. We played call after call, bs'd about turkey hunting and had some excellent food provided by Bruce, Rickey and the Ferguson's. Ole David's wife can cook one mean Apple Pie!
Food was great and the conversations were even better! Was nice to finally meet you Rickey and shake your hand! This fellow knows his turkey hunting for sure! Got to play several calls we'd never played before!
David thanks for allowing us to come and visit and you know I enjoy every visit with you! Cannot wait for our next gathering! Bruce... man thanks for bringing the crappie... I'm glad you fish a lot!!! That was some of the finest eating I've had in a long time. Dr. Bruce and Rickey diet we called it. I told them I'm glad I did my blood work last week :)
Here are some pics from today of the three playing some calls! And thank goodness... the darn turkey didn't attack me :)

Man I know that was a fun day for sure. I don't see your in any of those pics Porter!

I just got home and had a blast today. I was like a kid in a candy store with all the great calls around. David just kept bringing out arm fulls of good ones and Bruce, Mike, and myself took a few along to play.
I think Porter is right in that we all ate way too much and I am not sure who told the biggest tale. I sure want to thank Bruce and the Ferguson's for the fine food and the wonderful hospitality showed to us by David and his wife. This was one of those days you look at your watch and think it is wrong because there is no way time could have flown by like this.
I saw the bad turkey of David's but the rain kept him in the barn and I did not get to see him flog anyone. I know Mike sure seemed to keep an eye out in his direction though.

Congrats to all!! Sounds and looks like a good time was had *dance*

It was a good day! Fine company, fine food and some mighty fine calls as well as callers. You all have impressive calls and can use them like they were meant to be.
Except maybe Porter *peep*
We all know about that Osage Reputation
*lol*
I just had to get that in somehow.

Sounds like an awesome time was had by all!

Nothing better than good friends, good food, and good turkey calls

Now next thing you know David... you'll be telling people I brought calls that didn't have Osage on them *peep* You know how rumors get started *lol*
As for why I wasn't in the pictures... well I respect my camera and didn't want to break it... I let the least ugly ones be the picture people ROTFLMBO
You had better be ready to run the hills and hollers this fall! I've been working out (well except for that diet yesterday) and ready to go!

What a day. *dance* David Please thank your wife for having us and for the fine food.I'm still stuffed.
WEll,We are all like kids in a dandy store. *dance* Swapping stories ,all the great calls we got to see and play was awesome.Its hard to say how many turkey died during that session. *peep*. I also got to hear some guys that can flat play turkey calls.It was a priviledge.
David I always love seeing the old calls from past call makers from Eminence.I also liked getting a call or 2 from the newest callmakers that are carrying on the great Eminence tradition. You and Harley do them proud.
We need to do this again sometime.Tell Harley I love my newest call he made me. Better watch out David that boy is getting pretty darn good. *lol*

Bruce,
Your encouragement has meant a lot to him. You know how things are if Ol'Dad suggests something *wha* But he took what you told him to heart. I thank you again.
Keep you schedule open and we'll make a gigging trip this fall.
Mike,
I've got a couple flocks located way down a long ridge and across a holler ot two. ;D
I'm in need of the exercise more than anyone.
*peep*
Thanks again to you all. It's so educating to see how others play a call and what they expect from a call. Without that knowledge it's hard to improve and/or make variations.
*cheers*

I think Bruce and Rickey were really disappointed that my friend didn't show me any respect (the turkey). I definitely have one eye open on it all the time now!
Those spurs hurt!!!

Dave,
Hmmm I guess I was there the wrong time of year for home made apple pie *peep* That is ok though as we had a great road trip meeting all the call makers from the area. I hope to see you again soon my friend as I am sure I will be in St James visiting my cousin again soon. It looks like you guys had a great visit. Take care..John

Looks like ya'll has a great time. Which is who in the picture. I know which is Ferguson. But I have never meet Bruce and Rickey before. I have talked with bruce before. But it would be cool to put a name with face.

Mike,
Bruce is the hippie. Hunter22 (Rickey) is the old guy.
We had a great time and I am going back this fall to visit again and also see some of the gorgeous scenery.
