I am hoping he will be at the Call Makers Summit so I can check out some of his stuff in person. None of my friends really turkey hunt so I am the one that tries all the new stuff.

He was not there at Turkey Trot last year and they have not published a line up of who is attending this year, its still early for that info to be published.  I'm sure you'll see the list on Facebook by July.  Last year Jimmy Schaffer and Paul Platz were there selling pot calls

Was Ernie Fetters there? I know that Marlin "Don" Wakins was but not sure if he was selling or not.

Yes. Friday is the Call Makers Summit and Saturday is a NWTF event. Not sure how to describe it as I have never been. Here is a link to the event on Facebook and the second link will be to Turkey Trot Acres Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/events/554831611678716/  https://www.facebook.com/TurkeyTrot/  Also here is the website for you. http://turkeytrotacres.com/?fbclid=IwAR2yckPV0c7zlfs9EqSeQlaFJMJsoUJJAFixa1h4858bNe6QXDvMXIdG6r0

Those that used Halloran's longbox this season, how'd you like it? They sound killer in his shop vid but wish I could hear it outside. So it sits in my cart, undecided on ipe or ebony...

I have both IPE lid and Macassar lids . Ipe is responsible for an opening week Osceola 3 yr old with 16 hens . turned them all around and brought then back by .
Just talked to David on May 15 and he has a few made up now. I cherry picked mine first day in Perry at Show and ran near bout all 60 he made for nationals and really couldn't tell much difference in all of them except for the different sound from  the lid material .

Well the Ipe LB arrived....it is damn nice...cant pick a winner of the two....the ebony is rasp city and I dig that but the Ipe is clean and clear with a raspy finish....too close to call. I'd say the Ipe is a wee bit more versitle IMO. Teh Ipe is heading out with me in the morning....I need a good luck charm! :help:
