In cold cold winter here in Minnesota,,I need to get away for a break,,usually vegas,,I truly believe this would end up costing me more then slots and craps if I was at a turkey call show.
Do you get free drinks in Unicoi???
Depends on who you are sitting next to...

:agreed: :TooFunny:
Can't speak for everyone but for me more than I need. :z-dizzy:
Will be my first time there. Who's table should I hit up first????
If ya could go and had a $1000 cash to spend, where would you wind up first on Friday morning???
Give me your thoughts, this should be interesting...........
Go for the two year waiting lists!!! To me this is the "gangway" knock the women and children out of the lifeboats dash!!!
I would first hit Steve Mann,Darrin Dawkins,Lamar Williams and Mike Lapp tables,,those guys are all a two year wait I think Williams and Lapp are three years,,they may have a few boxes or customer canceled ones that you could purchase.
Then I'd see if the snack bar has mini doughnuts,,
Any call makers going to Unicoi that make grunt tubes?
Brian Lawter makes a great grunt call.
Thanks. I'll look for him.
I'll have grunt tubes also look for me thks Daryal Gosey
Will do Daryal.
I could use a grunt tube myself....hope to finally meet u arrow?
I have some special wood I want to have someone make me one out of. I'll be there thursday night. Looking forward to it GS.

Welcome to OG and share with us what you decided on after the show. You'll probably end up with a "few" calls.

I was able to get down yesterday and spend a few hours with old friends and make a few new ones had to leave early with joy in my heart and a tear in my eye knowing that I'm at the point in life that this my be the last time I will ever see you.
The best part of the show is meeting and hanging out with guys you only know from a screen. I had a great conversation with Hunter22 and slicksbeagle. AGE was a great guy to talk to and got us on some great lunch! Always a great time!

This is really not a good question
How much money does one bring with
I'm curious....
My guess is every patron, even those with deep pockets, left a call on the table they wish they had purchased. The answer is probably as much as you can save up. I have never been and will let those that have put a real figure on this
According to my wife....... Way to much!!!!! :z-guntootsmiley:
I just took an amount I knew I could afford to spend and when it was out I was done. Depends on what your budget is to what you should take.

But seriously I wish I could've joined you gentlemen this weekend, but it just wasn't in the cards. Hopefully I'll get to see some of you guys at Nashville.
Let me tell you from my experience this weekend take the amount you want to spend in cash and leave your debit card at home. I way over did it.

I hear Pooh had to rent a U-Haul trailer to get all his calls back home!!!!
I have cash on hand and leave a backup amt in the truck so I have to take the time and walk out there to get it and think about the purchase if I go over. But with all the great calls there, if you want it you better get it cause its going to be gone. Took a buddy for his first time, he had a set amount but went to the atm twice. He said he would be more prepared next year. ;D

TJ thats almost the truth. Lol I got home and the wife asked if I needed any help carrying stuff in and I immediately said no I'm good cause I didn't want here realizing what was in all the bags. Lol
I'm jealous, but I'm not sure I have enough self control either Pooh! I'm hoping that a few calls start making there way to the classifieds soon,lol!
Lol..it would be awesome if the show was after taxes came back...but..then I would be afraid to go!

Thank you for the kind words, sir !!
A good bit of time and thought goes into all our holster designs. The henbox holster that Mr. Hudson had on his table was a fun and interesting project for us. With the help of a couple really good folks, we think we got it right.
I came away with three various suction calls I'll post separately. Also some other items for the cave.
The best part is seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I always hate driving away from the lodge when its time to go. Sorry I missed some of you from OG. Nobody wore their name badges :OGani:
Had a great time as usual. Very nice to see everyone. Whole lot of talent in one place.

I came with A LOT. not knowing how much to bring. I left with a little. Sold 13 satchels and orders for 14 more.
