Do you "force" or feel compelled to use your expensive calls??

[Happy]

I would not buy a call I did not intend to hunt. That's what they were made for and more than likely I will give a call away before I sell one.

I wish I had a Neil Costs with some blood and mud on it, I would be smiling ear to ear!

[Sixes]

I hunt them, I might be a little more careful and more conscious of them, but I don't leave them at home because of cost.

If I give 250 dollars for a fishing rod, you can better believe I'm going to cast it out

I understand what your saying ... BUT .. i'm not going to take a chance with one of my Neil Cost boxes that cost over 1500.00 and in my opinion these boxes are priceless and loaded with history ..  but i don't blame you if you want to hunt with whatever you buy ...

[Bowguy]

I don't feel compelled to do anything. I hunt what I want. I will say if the call was extra expensive I'd be careful bout when I used it but feeling I needed to use anything??? No

I hunt with the calls that sound most like what I think a turkey sounds like.  I don't care how much it costs anymore.  I hunted with the most expensive call I own this year.  I think that the maker was happy that I did.  And, if you do mess one up while hunting with it, most call makers will repair them.

How much do you pay for a complete set of camo, shot gun, pick up truck, that you use?

Thank you Bob!

If I wont hunt it then it dont stay. I have too many to hunt them all even changing them out throughout the season. If you pull a call out of my collection you can bet money its a good one. I have way too many and will have many many more before im done here but they all are killers.

I'm with you.

I have but ONE original Neil.  It's on the different side and worth WAY more than what I'm willing to take into the woods and possibly harming.

To each, his own, I reckon.

I don't buy anything I won't use. #notacollector:)

I do not have any high end calls yet, I think I have 125 into my most expensive call and for me that was  MAJOR investment. I have had it into the woods this year. Oh I take that back I have a pot call I paid I think 130 for and it got my my first turkey this year but I will tell you it is a fair weather call for me, I do not want to take it out in bad weather as I want to take care of it. I have old crappy but just as good production calls I take out when it is raining. As a matter of fact they sat in the blind in a dry box all year and it was so rainy this season they got more use than all my other calls put together with the exception of my mouth calls.

Everything I have I plan to hunt at some point or another. I do hunt a lot of different calls throughout a season and rotate regularly. I do have too many to hunt in one season and I am selective on when I hunt my more expensive calls. I am not taking my hen boxes on a misty damp morning but I will grab my SS field grade.

[bobk]

I hunt the calls that sound the most like a turkey to me. Have never let the calls cost influence  which ones I hunt. I believe that callers are  tools that are built to call turkeys.
Just my opinion.

[jshark14]

I hunt them all! If I bought it, it's going to the woods.

Agree; don't mind misty mornings, but if the weather is calling for steady rain, my long, mini boat and short box calls stay in the truck or camp, and a 'waterproof' box call goes in the vest instead. Other than rain days I hunt everything I own.

My problem is I own too many and can't hunt them all...
