Thanks neverroosting. Yeah I spent way more then I anticipated. I'm going to have to enforce my casino rules next time I go there. Which is leave my debit card at home. I've been saving for about 8 months since I decided I was going though. Lol

I'm sorry did I do something wrong ? Want to talk about class really? I think I did my fair share of supporting lots of callmakers there thank you. Like they say people who can't do hate.

I wish people that had nothing good to say pertaining to the thread would just click the X at the top and move along if you really want to talk about "class".
The guy spent a ton of money at the show including makers that had tables.
I also bought calls from makers that did not have a table as did many others that have posted on here and nothing was said.

In my eyes it would be guys lining up buying the calls as soon as they put them on the table from there bag. They wouldn't have any calls after 10 minutes. Especially when they sold like 10 calls each.

Also of note is that there were not unlimited tables. I believe there were call makers that were interested in committing to a table, but they were not available.

Tables were not free and it was just requested if you did not have a table to conduct sales in your private room as respect for those that did pay for a table, or that is the way it was last year. If done in that manner then it should not be an issue.

Not sure if you realize you are not only calling Pooh out but also calling out those callmakers that the calls in the pic that didn't have a table and any other callmaker that might have sold from their room that Pooh didn't even buy from...might want to go ahead and post your name so they know to not sell to you in the future as I'm sure you don't want to do business with a non-classy callmaker.
Maybe you were unaware that Mark Sharp has made it known that selling from the room is ok (not like he can regulate it anyways), just don't be selling and advertising calls in public.
Whatever the reason, probably best to just edit your initial post

I'm not going to edit it. By buying calls from non vendors, you're taking money away from the vendors who obtained a table at the event.

I use to be stubborn too...best of luck...I'm moving onto another thread...sorry your thread got high jacked pooh, I heard lots of callmakers with booths say they were thankful for your business and enjoyed meeting you and visiting with you, hope you make it back next year, I know the callmakers that I talked to sure hope you do!

Those are all great! There was so much there I wanted to buy but with the shutdown looking to last a long time I just couldn't feel good about buying much. I will likely never be able to make a haul like yours but if I am back at work by next january I plan to make up for not buying much this year.

For the callmakers who couldn't get a table and were coming, what's the harm in selling a few calls?
They didn't take money from callmakers with tables. The guys that bought from them would likely have not spent on other call makers anyway. They wanted calls from THOSE makers.
In any event, the fellas who run the show seem to be o.k. with it so we should all just chill and not judge.
It was a fun time. Lots of fellowship and laughs. If you ever get the chance to go, it's worth the trip...

Well, since this is what the post was supposed to be about, instead of a debate. Here are some of the calls I brought home. Next year I hope to take a bit more money and talk to more folks. I had the time of my life and met some of the greatest guys a turkey hunter could talk with. Every call maker I talked to was 1st class. Buying a call was just another part of the experience. If anyone has never been, I would highly advise it.

I was actually running a call and sat it down to run another one, and Jody Harrison picked that one up. He ran it a couple of times and said he wanted it. Of course I had to give him a hard time about it. Lol. All of Mikes calls sounded phenomenal though!

At turkey trot I had my buddy stand next to me at the table when trying calls. If I picked one up I liked but hadn't made my mind up about it I handed it to him to hold, rather than put it down back on the table.

I think you summed it up perfectly.
If there's ever something we (call makers) are not sure of, just run it by Mr. Mark and he'll set you straight. Have yet to meet anyone in my two trips down to Unicoi that weren't world class gentlemen and women.

Nice hauls!! I hope to make it to the show next year and grab some great calls. The wait list for call makers to get a table is about 25 makers long. Sounds like the show could be a lot bigger if there was room. I can't wait to go, I will try and keep it classy.

Since when did getting on a list mean a maker has an obligation to fill your order prior to making other calls to sell for shows, let alone fill your order in general? People need to quit subscribing to the thought that some of these makers "owe" them a call, and instead understand it's a PRIVELEGE to be able to buy from them when their time comes.

Laughable the amount of butthurt a grown man can have over the manner in which another man spends his own money. As if it's somehow virtuous to only buy from makers that have tables. Modern day virtue signaling is nauseating.
To the OP, freaking awesome haul Pooh. I'm sure you are greatly appreciated by each call maker you choose to support.

This is such a laughable statement. They are selling a good that people do not have buy. It is not a privilege, it is a transaction. Lol!

So what you all are saying is basically if a callmaker makes a list to keep track of orders and go in line when he fills his ORDERS ( KEYWORD) he cannot participate and sell calls at call shows. ( which are not orders for anybody) If he makes a call it has to go to the next person in line. This is the most obsurd thing I've heard and now I understand why so many makers have quite taking orders.

I blame the lack of filling orders on the fact that calls are being sold on sites like this for 4+ times the call makers asking price. The call maker has about as much obligation to fill the order as the buyer has obligation to keep the call and not trade or sell it. I don't understand where you are coming from with some of your remarks. I'm sure you have never sold or traded a call though. If you no longer want the call then just tell the call maker and quit trying to slander someone's character. I'm sure you know them personally though...these guys have families and full time jobs and are not making calls to get rich. If you want a call right away, then call someone that does it for a business. And as someone else stated, what would be the point for these guys to have a table if they are only selling like 10 calls at a show...I'm sure if they were making a lot of calls then you would have had yours a long time ago.

I agree 1000% I have had orders place with 2 call makers going on 3 years. One will not answer multiple emails and the other has responded only once. I feel like if you take my name down on a list you owe it to me to make me those calls, just as I owe it to the call maker to pay him as soon as it's done.

I was on a big time pot call makers list for 3 years. At 39 months I sent a message asking about my call, I was told that he had others before mine. Three months later, I asked again and received the same answer. On the 3rd inquiry, he kicked me off his list.

and he had no other snakewood/persimmon calls on the table that year

I had a chance to get my name on a callmakers list 9 yrs ago.I had the pleasure of meeting this callmaker at NWTF convention and he told me... He would place my name on his list.He also told me that his list was VERY long and that "Good Lord willing he would make me a call".9 years have passed and I have talked to this callmaker a few times in this 9 yrs.. but I don't expect to ever receive a call from this call maker and I'm okay with it.... at least I did get to meet the man and get my name on his list.Sometimes you just got count your blessings and realize that less can be more... :icon_thumright:

Andy and bowbird, no sense trying to reason with these guys that are the first to pay 4 or 5 times for a call just so they can say they have one. All these guys know, is that cash is king and they place little value on a man's word. These guys that are arguing against you are the very reason that orders are not being fulfilled. I, too, have been on Paul's list for many years and each time I reach out to him he places blame on wife, kids, life in general but I can look up his buds FB pages and see all the new calls he has made them, makes me just shake my head. These guys won't replace the Trices or Dawkins of the callmaking world, guys who are humble after selling 1000's of calls and remaining true to their word and having appreciation for their customers.
Andy I hope you receive your Platz call some day, as for.me I'll consider selling the ones. A man is only as good as his word.

I placed a call with a call maker last fall. It is my Christmas present although I realized getting it by Christmas would be a stretch. I still don't have it and I'm seeing the exact wood combination that the call maker recommended for me showing up on photos purchased from Unicoi and Nashville with no word on when I should receive mine. I'm sorry if that gets under my skin just a tad.

I think some callmakers have accomplished all they want as far as contests, etc. They have jobs and families that take priority over call building and it should. These guys seem to be building calls just for their friends. These friends post pics of the calls they have gotten and it causes hard feelings with the guys on the waiting lists. The callmakers should contact all the guys on their lists and tell them that they are pulling those lists and will not be making them a call. I would rather hear this than to continue to be told I would get a call someday.

I can agree with that. But harassing someone because they got a call and they didn't is ridiculous. But if you look most of the guys are the usual suspects that are in every argument on here. I didn't pay 3 times more then they used to sell there calls for. Just another person not knowing what there talking about. These guys sell their calls for the same price they always sold them for at these shows. I wanted one of their calls and had the opportunity to buy it so I did. It was going to get sold regardless. Don't take it out on me because your not getting the call you ordered that has nothing to do with me. I dont bother you or anybody else on here. I treat everyone I talk to with respect. I was excited about my first Unicoi and wanted to show guys what I got. I'd love to see what everyone got but now I understand why most didn't post theirs now.

I don't blame anyone for buying a call that is available to them at show. It just bothers me when the exact call I'm waiting on for months is sitting on a table at a show ready for purchase. It just shows me that if I really want a certain call from some certain call makers, I better be willing to travel to Georgia or Tennessee if I really want it.
Which are trips I'd like to be able to make regardless.

They are top notch call makers with crappy ethics. The way they have handled this whole situation has been low class in my opinion. They handle business like scam artist, promise you something and don't deliver, refuse to responded or communicate and make every excuse in the world of why they cant deliver. Just when it couldn't get any worse they sell calls out the hotel room at shows where others paid to have a booth.
I'm glad you are being the bigger man showing the real class here.
Tell us more about how they scammed you??? Did you already pay them? How much of your money do they have without you getting a call back in return...ohhhh they put your name on a list and you haven't gotten anything in return...sounds like the best of the best scams there...

I ordered a hot hen slate and a tree call last year and the convo was very short. I was told it $75 shipped and I said I would pay when they were ready. Here we are 11 months later and I haven't heard anything. I didnt say anything at the time because he seems like a nice guy, but I'm kinda glad I never heard back at this point.

It's not disrespect to say if you've had a negative experience with someone. I wish I would've been given the same treatment as others on here, but I didn't. I'm sure Mr Lonnie is great man but the experience I had was nothing near what I expected.
Looks like everyone is giving you the same treatment...even Mr. Lonnie Sneed...but I can't imagine why after reading your post here...being so ethical and all...and not talking bad about anyone...bc you are entitled to something bc someone put you on a "list"...

I don't have a dog in this fight, because I am not on either list, but I am on John Dangerfield's list and was told it would be a couple of years. I know he was at Unicoi selling calls, but it doesn't matter to me. The way I see it, he spent the money for a room, table and travel expenses and selling calls helps him to recover those costs.
Why would a callmaker buy a table and go to a show and NOT sell calls just because he has a "list"?
I was at Lonnie Mabry's house a couple days ago and we were talking about this very thing and he stated that having a list was the exact reason that he would not ship calls. If he had a list, then he wouldn't ever be caught up. We agreed that he could go to Unicoi or other shows and sell his whole inventory in no time, but then he wouldn't have any calls to sell to everyone that stops by his house to visit, like me.

I never called either man a scam artist I said "they handle business like a scam artist". I also never claimed to be the bigger man or taking the high road. I'm pissed and gonna say what I think about it whether you like it or agree with it. There were lies told and ZERO communication from either of them and that's bad business End of story.

Quote from: Sixes on February 21, 2019, 07:11:53 PMI just wish the call maker would have been up front with me. I haven't even been given a timeline. A simple, "you can show up at Unicoi or Nashville and get one of my calls right away" would have sufficed. I just assumed if there was a call in his inventory that fit my request, I'd get it before it was held for a show. That was a bad assumption on my part.

Well, at least a lot of makers don't get money up front. You pay when the call is ready. I paid Steve Reeves for a call and waited over a year, never got the call. I finally called him and got my money back. It's one thing to not get a call, but it's worse when you pay and never get the call. Just my two cents......

Getting back to the OP's intended subject, found a few goodies myself.
Fulkerson Hen box, snakewood over black-lined persimmon. Also picked up a Fulkerson one sider, ironwood over teak. Matt's one sider will DEFINITELY be in my vest this spring. Incredible sounding box. A SWEET Hudson hen box, snakewood over maple with pre ban elephant ivory Dimond inlay and some cool checkering work. A Watkins fiddle, mineral poplar and walnut. Couple of Lamar Williams. Short black walnut over yellow poplar and a cedar over poplar paddle. A Steve Mann paddle butternut and Cedar. A John Dangerfield Amboyna burl trumpet with pre ban elephant ivory mouthpiece accented with musk ox boss. Four Buice horns. A pair of verte, a Gabon ebony and another Osage that I intend to give as a gift to a great friend and fellow turkey hunter. And a few custom leather cases etc. Another great show.

Lots of amazing calls there today. money goes fast there, could quickly get into the thousands if you don't watch. I picked up the following-
TJ Johnson Fiddle Box - Padauk over Butternut
Matt Fulkerson hen box, Jatoba over Teak
Strawser- Purple Slate in Chestnut laminated pot
schaffer - ceramic in walnut pot. The walnut actually has a gray/purple color and looks more like mahoe. Schaffer had some really good pots, if I didn't already have a bunch of his I would've picked up quite a few from him.
I regret not picking up a box from Irving Whitt. He had some great sounding great looking boxes there. Works of art really.
There was some little kid there that was great at playing box calls, he was just walking around the show playing various makers' boxes and the reaction at every table was the same - everyone stopped what they were doing and had a look of disbelief first and then all smiles. No idea who he was but I'd guess he was less than 12 years old.

I was not planning on buying anything but when Mr. Mark Prudhomme hands you a few trumpets and tells you to go outside and run them, things change quickly. Could have bought a few from Mr. Mark, a few from John Dangerfield, and a few from Mr. Billy. I did bring a blank for Mr. Billy to look over for my next from him and he said it was what he needed to do it. Had a great time speaking with a bunch of guys here from the forum, I do not want to list as I am sure I will forget someone and do not want to do that.

Great meeting you as well! You have great taste in calls.
I got that same Lamar scratchbox also. They said the ATM had 10k in it yesterday and was completely wiped out. They had to put more in it this morning. :funnyturkey:

Very fine calls... congrats to all who attended.What size is the Durham call? Very nice looking...but looks small in the last picture.
I think that call makers that put peoples names on a waiting list for a call ought to make every attempt to make those individuals a call.If the call maker does away with his list and slows down or stops making calls then so be it. Sheet happens! But placing a mans name on your list and then ignoring / overlooking that mans order is BS.

Not trying to argue but sometimes what's on that callmakers list is "calls for a certain show". It can come before or after someone's name but it's still also part of the "list". I've waited years for a call only to get the exact same call from the exact same callmaker at a show way sooner than when I my name would have come up on his list. Its not because they are avoiding their list or avoiding you....its because they are making calls for that show specifically.

Here's the flock that came home with me...The only bad thing other than the drive to show and the food at the lodge
is the amount of calls you want to take home. It would take a lot of discipline to go home empty handed. I wish I could have bought a call from every call maker, but it's just not possible for me. I'll be there next year though. Mark did a great job as always coordinating the show!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200112/7c930b21ecf66cfb047288db52f198f4.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200112/b31217a0f443fda9377e2900e42174da.jpg)

The Durham slate is a standard size call its the camera angle in that last pic that makes it look smaller than it is. As far as the wait list I gotta to agree with KentuckyHeadHunter's comment and there are a lot of those calls that I bought that I have been on there wait list for a long time and just picked them up at the show. If you ever get a chance to go to show I highly recommend it. It was my first time there and it want be my last.

Awesome calls every one. I would have a very hard time walking away from calls that you stop and play at someone's table . I would spend all my money very quickly then after I spent all my money I would spot the absolutely most awesome call ever then not be able to get it lol.

To the old and new posts defending callmakers, if you reserved a room at unicoi for next year, you show up and they tell you they rented it to someone else are you ok with that? I mean all they did was put your name on a list. It truly doesnt matter to me what they do I'm still going g hunting whether I have that person's call or not.

Hey Ky headhunter02... who made your trumpet calls. They really look fine?Looks like a Hudson and a Watkins maybe?
And I have no issues with callmakers making calls for whatever occasion such as Unicoi show/NWTF....and as stated previously.. you can possibly pick up a call at a show that you might wait a long time to get otherwise.What I have a problem with is a callmaker placing your name on his list and then not building you a call when you know that callmaker is building calls on a production type basis and you know you have been bypassed.

Greats hauls by everyone. It was great to finally meet quite a few members on here as well as re-meet some of my old friends. It's always a great time!!!
As far as selling calls at a show when you have a list, this is my take. I do have a list and I am very faithful to building folks the best call I know how to in the specific order in which I received them. I do however, have to take a break from the list in order to have some calls for a show. My intention is not to slight anyone what so ever, but if I didn't do that, I'd never be able to attend a show. I believe that's the same for most callmakers, but I can only speak for myself. Rest assured, I will be right back to my list. Thanks for understanding.

Are you sure that is Argentine Lignum and not genuine?

I asked Billy was it Genuine and he told me no. He called it by another name but said it was Argentinian. It's a 6.5 in...hasn't made a lot of those to my knowledge.

I didn't get much at Unicoi this year. I did manage to pick up a John Dangerfield in Mud-Cured Bois D'Arc

That may be it, seems like he called it verte or Vera but when I asked if it was genuine he mentioned "Argentinian".

That's a nice Dangerfield call. He had several I would have liked to purchase. That was my first time meeting John and I was very impressed with the craftsmanship and sound of his calls.

Unless I'm mistaken I bought a pair of the same wood (2 on the left) from Billy. He told me it was Verte. He pronounced it "ver-tay". Said it will really darken up over time. I'm no wood expert but it looks like maybe Argentine lignum vitae but the green in it looks like verawood? Would love to hear opinions from some of you as to what it is.

I carried 500$ this year and wish I had two thousand more. The calls available were unbelievable. The more photos of everyone's haul I see the more money I need to save up for next year.

Thanks to all of you for posting about unicoi including all the awesome pics...I was scheduled to attend but had to cancel the day I was Scheduled to leave due to a strong Nor'eastern blowing into SE Wisconsin . It brought rain,sleet,snow and wind......so I lived vicariously through all of you people.i will try again next year.

It is hard to tell between verawood/argentine lignum. They are both closely related (same Genus). I use it quite a bit because of the density of the wood. Very hard to tell the difference between the genuine and the Vera/AL without a loupe or magnifying glass. They are all in the same family of woods. The pores in the endgrain are different between the two and they can instantly be distinguished. The Vera/AL have pores that are in random lines. The genuine has pores that are completely random with no order to them. The vera/argentine makes a great call in anything that requires a hard, dense wood. Turns a beautiful dark olive/green after it cures. The Genuine (in my opinion) has a slight more mellow tone than the argentine, but they are very close. Very nice calls you got there!

Quote from: Gut_Pile on January 15, 2019, 06:51:22 PMNot really. If I wanted to buy from a table vendor I woulda bought from them. If I didn't buy from a vendor it wasn't gonna change weather they had a table or not.
I'm not going to edit it. By buying calls from non vendors, you're taking money away from the vendors who obtained a table at the event.
