Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default NWTF calls

These are 5 of my 7 calls going to Nashville Thursday to the NWTF call contest.

The other 2 are the 1270 y/o oak and punky oak I have posted before.
Thanks for looking!!!! I'll let you know how it goes.

Weathered Maple slate over glass





Curly Maple slate over glass




Camo laminate ceramic over slate (sweet sounds and purrs!!!)




Paduak Glass over slate


Osage glass over glass- another sweet talker!!!

I have talked to a few about the 'politics' of the call show.

I was asked some time ago to enter a few of my wingbone calls and I delcined.

Was honored others thought that much about my calls.

Anyhow good luck....

Good Luck Eric!!! I'll be there - hopefully I'll see them! Regardless of where you place... you should be proud of those calls!!!

Personally I don't agree with how they judge them and I let them know it last year after the convention (not that they care! LOL), but I speak up when I think something is wrong! The calls should be annonymous and judged solely on quality of craftmanship & performance... Not taking anything away from Woodhaven, but they clean house every year... That's just my opinion!!!

Good luck!!!

The Politics being that if your not from a main comp. or have a background with the NWTF.. You aint poo...

But, If a state board member and Regional Director sponsor your call... You have a chance of making a name.. which is better than nothing...

So Fire N Iced calls have some backing...

I believe Barry is supposed to be meeting you there

Good luck in Nashville this weekend firelt, take it to those vest-wearing woodhaven punks. I'll be up there Friday, hopefully I can catch the tail end of the friction championship.
