General Forum / Talking Turkey With an Old Fri...

Last post by zelmo1 - Today at 07:53:39 AM

I did as we all did when starting out as solo turkey hunters, fumbled and learned, recalibrated and tried new things.I got lucky and hooked up with my buddy Joe here at work. Joe has a turkey brain in his pocket that talks to him, lol. I was immediately drawn to his knowledge of turkey behavior. He had a young daughter with the same name of my wife and she loved turkey hunting. Thing was that after more than a dozen good oppurtunities, she missed them all. Joe was frustrated and so was she. I, being a helper, offered to help. We went to the range and her issue was immediately noticeable. She was not putting her head on the stock, she was looking right over the barrel. Well this was an easy fix. We corrected the issue and she hit 3 turkey targets in a row. I went over to his house every day that week before youth day and we shot 1 shell, she was 5/5 of course. Youth day came and I tagged along for luck. Turkey man Joe struck a bird and it was on. After 37 hours, it felt like it, the bird worked in. I watched as the big tom worked in cautiously and she held her ground. At 22 yards she put his lights out. Joe sat back, his eyes rolled up and that big goofy smile came out. That moment we were all bonded. Fast forward 12 years and my youngest daughter and I rolled through Dunkin Donuts, made our order and rolled to the window. When I saw who was in the window I said "Hello". The young lady looked puzzled. " You don't remember me huh?" "Sorry I don't" was her reply. " I was with you and your dad when you shot your first turkey". "OMG, Big AL", and she started to cry. She waved us in and we went in. we spoke for just a couple minutes but it was wonderful. When we left, my daughter turned to me and said" That was awesome dad" and grabbed my hand. One of my shining moments. Have a nice day everyone. Z

Pot Calls Forum / Contact Info

Last post by 870BkWht - January 08, 2026, 11:09:35 PM

I was hoping someone could help me get into contact with Larry Buster Halford. I don't use Facebook but I googled his name and found a Facebook picture with an email address and a phone number. 

I sent an email a couple days ago and I tried to call the number today with no answer or ability to leave a voice mail. 

Thanks
Ben

Pot Calls Forum / New York Red Slate Pot Calls

Last post by Gobbler Decapitator - January 08, 2026, 09:18:16 PM

Good evening everyone.
I was looking to get some thoughts from the overwhelming knowledge on this forum in relation to red slate pot calls. My understanding is that most (if not all) red slate used for turkey calls comes from New York. Do any of you guys know who would be a good source for a red slate pot call that definitely uses NY red slate? Thanks in advance for the help!
