RE: Why are slate calls round ?
please dont kill turtles to make calls.
find a dead one, roadkill, whatever.
i'm no tree hugger, but turtles are way too cool to kill for that reason.
turtles grow verrrrrrrrry slowly, a turtle that is big enough to make a call out of is at least 15 years old, possibly 20,50, or even 100.....
i'm "that guy" who will run across 4 lanes of traffic to help a turtle cross to the other side. saved 9 of them last spring alone!
i think it's a waste of an animal to kill it to make a call that can be purchased for 4.99, or made with wood for even cheaper. you wouldnt kill a turkey just for it's wingbones, would you?
just my .02.
