Three and I try to stay on them.
Well I have just recieved several calls from some of the ones I ordered. Two from Mike Yingling and some strikers from JLH. Waiting on a Chris Brumfiel and another Hen Box from Matt Fulkerson. Can't wait to get them, already have one Fulkerson and this is my first from Chris. Both guys are great.

Technically only one at the moment.
There's a fellow I've been trying to get to build me a few calls for the last 4-5 years............. We talk about it on the phone for an hour or two..............but I can't get him to say he will actually build them. Super nice fellow to talk to, though. So, even if I never get him to agree to build me the calls........... I've made a good friend.

Maybe one day.
Currently I'm on two lists, and came off three other lists very recently. Plus picked picked up a couple calls secondhand during that time.
I don't fancy myself a collector, I hunt what I gather.

Thats wjay its about man, the guys I've bought calls from that have made me strikers, slates etc., the relationship is more important than the call imo.

If your on that many lists just of lately and not a collector your either in denial or a hell of a hunter gatherer of turkey calls... :TooFunny: :icon_thumright:

Yeah, if it was just another VT gobbler I would have tried it myself. Since they will have sentiment I wanted to insure they came out well.

Yea but I would not feel right asking somebody to make me something and then buying it elsewhere.
2 that I remember. Another trumpet from Herb Hornstra and a fence post call from David Ferguson.

If we're counting the never lists, I went on Frank Hegler's list 8 - 10 years ago. Won't happen.

Yeah................... I dunno. I don't know how else to try to motivate the gentleman to build for me. Pretty sure he's not building calls for anyone else, either. And he'll tell me there's really no compelling reason he's NOT building me the calls. He just isn't. He's a wonderful guy. But he's also not getting any younger. I would REALLY like to have some of his work before he leaves us one day.
Two for me but they are not long list like alot on this topic, Ernie Fetters and Tom Crook Mississippi scratch box. I would guess I have both orders within a month.
I'm only on 1 list,
Zach Farmers, but I'm on it for 7 calls
I'm on
1) Lamar Williams
2)Steve Mann
3)Buice -I stay on this one
4)TJ
5)Frank Cox
6)Cody
7)KP
8) Mike lapp
9) ET-actual just got this one today.
These are pretty well spaced out so hopefully I don't get hit with them all at once. Some have been well over a year, some just a month or so. A few I have already received calls from and am waiting on another.

Who is ET?
Ed Terefencko, Hope I spelled that correct. He's got a web site. I'm gonna post a pic of the call i got in a few minutes, if this site will let me, lately its been touchy with pics.

On two presently. Come this Fall I want to get on yours Chad! I will say the Callmakers I've had the pleasure of talking to, in the short time I've enjoyed this passion, have been nothing short of fantastic! Ya'll should all be proud, not only in your expertise, dedication, and knowledge, but also belonging to this grand Fraternity of Gentlemen Callmakers!

Id rather not say the maker because I believe the reason it took so long was because I accidentally got skipped on his list, but I called him up and had a call on the way that same day. Normal wait time for him was about 2 years, it just slipped my mind until I saw his name pop up on here.
I was fortunate to get on Shannon's list right before he shut it down, so I know when he opens things back up I'll be close. Also, I'm on EZ's list for a wing bone. I've tried multiple times over the last several months to get on Mr. Billy Buice's list but I can't seem to catch up to him.

I envy you getting on Shannon's list before he closed the books, I was about a month late to that party. I talked to Mr. Billy on Monday, he said he has been working on calls most of the day recently so I guess its just a matter of catching him by the phone.

Geez sounds like you have a problem LOL!!! In one week I acquired 3 box calls, they are all keepers for sure. I like it when I can beat everyone home and get the mail so I don't raise any suspicion on my operation. Currently I am on 3 people's list.

Mine doesn't really care, but likes to pick on me though!!!! I always have her do my mailing and the girls she works with ask her what kind of turkey calls today. They really liked Brad Roberts call bag you have to serenade them before you marinade them

Never heard of paying up front then waiting 3 years. Seems odd to me.
Just the one right now, and it's a gift for someone else! That said I just came off 3 lists if you count strikers! No more buying for a bit after this - these pot calls are an addiction!
