Nice haul jdub. Interested in the push pins myself. A call i feel I might have overlooked in the past. Looking to remedy that situation asap!
dang really nice haul guys, what is the Watkins combo?
Mango and Madagascar. Best sounding box call I've ever heard.
Very nice guys
Went back this morning looking for a sounding board as a replacement for my scratch box that I lost. Several vendors were gracious enough to give me a replacement striker and chalk even with me trying to pay them. If y'all ever get a chance to attend this event you'll meet some of the finest people in the turkey call community!!
Nice hall
I wonder when they'll supply a security there , makes me nervous
Never gave security a thought. I know I dropped over seven hundred dollars myself.

Really? Seems like the last place that needs security to me lol
Just thinking about all that money , calls aren't cheap I think they added more ATM
Yall come on with some more call pics.
I don't think you need to worry about security at that show ... nice bunch of calls ... congrats ever one ...
Unicoi was a great time as usual and I was able to pick up some great calls. We also went home by way of Canton and spent a few hours with Mr. Lonnie which is always a great time.

To hit Unicoi and Mabry in the same weekend is like winning the lottery. You got a heck of a loot. I did not do too bad myself.
Security- not the place to rob as many concealed weapons there are in that place. I wish I have had the will power to have quit at seven hundred bucks. It was another great show and to me it looked like trumpets are now the new ticket for turkey hunters. Those that were selling trumpets did well. I talked with one vendor and he said he had over 5,500 calls. Made me realize that I do not have a problem. After a quick stop to the office, "honey I am home, same old stuff there but was glad to see and meet some fine folks." See you all next year.
I concur that there were likely more concealed weapons on site than most law enforcement conventions! Zero concerns over safety while there.
Does anyone that went know the name of call make at the Living the Dream table that was at the back left of the room? I thought I had his information or card, but couldn't find it when I got home and can't remember his name.

I know YOU'RE right !!!!!!!
I was standing, talking to Whitt yesterday morning when he happened to see a folded $100 bill fall from a man's pocket on to a VERY crowded show floor. About 5 people nearly tackled the man to make sure his money was returned to him.
TRULY a salt-of-the-earth bunch of people at Unicoi.
This ^ is good to hear

At least one of the vendors is a policeman. Even without him, I don't think there would be any issues. LOL
Moonshine Leatherworks was there. Who was the other gentleman?
