I've been building them for a few years but just bought my grizzly lathe last year. There's something about turning your own call and striker that really enhances the experience of a hunt. I'm turning a Ziricote striker right now for a pretty unique crystal call I'm going to try out.

You probably will run into a pretty good crowd at choccolocco on opening weekend. But if you get in there early and play your cards right you might have some luck. You don't have people from just oxford and anniston coming in either. Piedmont and Jacksonville bring a lot of people down highway 9 and part of the wma is in Heflin so they bring in some regulars too. You'll run into a lot of Jacksonville college kids who come down to hunt because it's the cool thing to do and they heard their frat buddies talking about it.

Is everyone ok with myself being Captain again this year?

Would not want it any other way myself, I vote for Arrowmaster as our Captain this year.

It looks like Choccolocco is off the table for now....which is good. I hated the thought of wasting the first two days of season just trying to learn a new place. My buddy is going to Oakmulgee for the youth hunt Saturday to do some scouting.

sounds good to me

When you alabama boys get to go get'em

I'm baaaack!

8 more days. March 15th. I'll be heading south to Oakmulgee WMA on the 14th. Except for Sunday I'll hunt the first 6 days of the southern season. In north Alabama it starts April 1.
