I've hunted Choccolocco a couple of times but never hit it just right because I was hunting my own property during those peak times. That WMA has the highest harvest numbers year after year in the state. There are supposedly birds all over the place and there are people who have great success up there. I wouldn't mind planning a weekend to meet up with you and hunt it a time or two if you think you'll be heading that way. I've got a buddy who deer hunts up there a lot and knows some places where we could probably get away from the crowd. Let me know and we'll try to plan something in April.
I just started making calls about September or so. Had a heart attack in July so I needed to find an outlet to get me off the couch. Bought a small lathe and studied up on it. I think I make a pretty good sounding call, at least to my ears. Maybe I can take a good enough picture to share.
As for Choccolocco, my buddy wants to try it on opening day. We have hunted Oakmulgee the last 5 seasons. He saw the numbers on Choccolocco and wants to try it. I'm concerned about pressure being that close to Anniston/Oxford. If it looks like I will be able to get back down there in April I'll let you know.
