Who here has one, and what do you have?

Mike (MKW) had a bit of a cult following on this site back in the early 2000's as one of the first to use a 20ga for turkeys, but has long since disappeared from hunting forums altogether.  Back sometime around 2010 or after, he made trumpets that were held in very high regard and I was fortunate to get one from him, #25 that he made, which is full delrin.  I've only ever seen one other trumpet by him, owned by Mark Sharpe, and am curious how many are floating around out there still calling in turkeys.

Thanks!

Mike can be found in the right place. He directed me to a great breeder he used to get my Boykin Spaniel. He is still slaying turkeys but not making calls. Wish he would start building again, but completely understand why he stopped. He has a good many calls out there. I have one of his personal calls, Cocobolo with buffalo horn, that he has killed birds with. Would love to have a few more of his calls.

I had a delrin and sold or traded it a couple years ago. Wish I had hung on to it

I have a Mopani or something like that.  Traded a KP for it a few years ago.

I've been reading your posts on the other site since it was called Woody's, I'm fairly certain you're too engrained to leave now
