Title: Turkey Trot August 2019
Post by: ChiefBubba on August 26, 2019, 01:40:42 PM
Thought I'd start a new thread for my own things. first off is Pete and Sherry run a excellent Lodge and always most everyone feel welcome. I will be coming back every year, I've already booked my fall turkey hunts.
First off got my Wing Bone that Scott Bashore made from my hen from last fall's hunt that he called in for me.

They sure did do a great job, everyone that worked there were well mannered and polite and the food was great.



Congratulations on winning the .410. fine looking firearm. Good picture of you Pete and the gun.

Nice looking wingbone, hope when I am finished making mine it looks that good. I saw Scott there but did not know it was him. Talked with him briefly, seemed like a nice guy.

That box from Preacherman was the one thing I had wanted to get that I could not, they sure do sound good.

I enjoyed speaking with you as well, always nice to meet online friends and find out they are good people in real life too. Hope to see you next year.

Lot of nice stuff there. Like that scratch box in a box. Do you recall what wood the pot from Jimmy Schaffer is made of? I got number 3 and have been trying to remember what it was. I saw one of those teardrops on his table, neat looking call.

Sir you made out with those calls. That Basehore box sounded good. Congrats on winning the gun!

Nice collection of calls, but I'm really liking that 410.  I've always been a fan of lever actions.

Only thing I would change is it’s a 2 and half inch gun. It does have a choke in it. Still a really nice gun.
Wouldn’t trade it for anything. Bubba

The other callmakers reputations speak for themselves. The one people may not recognize, that are as good as any scratch boxes made, are those by Michael Terefencko. That young fella' makes a KILLER scratch box by any standard. And, he's a real nice young fella'.
If you don't have one, do yourself a favor and get one!

Looks like zebra wood and something else laminated between

I should have posted, I got in touch with Jimmy and he said it is Zebrawood/Sapele Crystal over Glass.

I have never been to anything like that. It looks like an awesome day. Congrats on all the great calls you got. How do you decide out of all those great call makers which ones will get your money? Very tough decisions to make . Congrats on all your stuff and for winning the gun and thank you for sharing with us

Truthfully I just look around at everything and get what catches my eye. There was one or two that I was really wanting to get but I basically blew my budget at Scott Bashores table. Then I just looked from there. I really want a long box from Marlin but didn't find anything I liked. Bubba

Yeah I could definitely seeing myself spending some money at Scott’s table and many others as well. Can’t wait to see your Unicoi pictures next!!!

If you don't mind my  :z-twocents: for me I decided ahead of time the main people I wanted to get from, those being Marlin Watkins who I really wanted a long box or fiddle paddle from, Matt Faulkerson who I had hoped to have gotten from him earlier in the year but when my name came up on his list I was not able to get from so not only did I want to get from him but I wanted to set things right with him which I was able to do and the third I had wanted to get from I was unable to unfortunately, and that was Preacherman Jody Harrison had made some calls especially for the event and I had wanted to get one of those but money was not where it was supposed to be but I was happy to get to meet the man, he was a pleasure to talk with. So bassically I am saying it is nice to be able to go in with a game plan and then if you have any money left over then get from others. I was able to get a Black Limba scratch box with walnut striker from Lee Bowles and a Nice pot call from Jimmy Schaffer with left over funds.

I e never been to Unicoi and don’t really plan on going anytime soon. It’s not held at a good time in my schedule. If I could work it out I’d like to go. At this point I’ve slowed way down on my call collecting and only really get what I like. The scratch box with storage box Scott made for the event I had Scott personalize the box cover. The Wing bone he made from my hen he called up for me last year. I’m hoping to get a few tips next month from him on using it and from Marlin on the long box. Bubba
