You're not kidding. I'm east of Lake Ontario and it's been nonstop. When I would snowboard I didn't care but now I use those four-letter words a whole bunch and yet I'm up at this hour to go to the ski lodge to work.

Never stop running calls all year long ... I always have calls right next to my chair ... LOL. I don't think about playing them, I play them.. I really enjoy my calls and the different turkey sounds tones they all bring with hen. Jake and gobbler sounds.

The call I run the least is mouth call's. I always carry a couple but seldom ever use them. The 2 I carry are the old Quaker Boy double and old boss hen.

Guess I'm a bit obsessive...I keep a trumpet and Jordan on hand year round when I'm on the road. Listen to real hens calling over the stereo system, and run the yelpers.

I play with pot calls now and then throughout the year. I sometimes play with trumpets (have not yet reached competence) but I don't practice mouth calling much till January.
I've ordered a few mouth calls for spring 2026 and will begin practicing with them and the other types of calls very soon. Last year, I went back to basics and worked on it a lot and really improved my game.
Deer season is still open but real slow here, and my mind turns to turkey.
Who else will up their calling practice soon?
And I really need to get back to walking, gotta get ready for those long morning hikes.

Quote from: Greg Massey on December 30, 2025, 05:54:59 PMMy first one made me want to get the second one and from there it has been one heck of a journey with lots of money spent on gas, calls, shells and guns. But what I have learned and still learning I would trade it for anything. Along this journey I have met some awesome people and call builders. I remember my first turkey a Jake like it was yesterday, killing him with homemade calls, I still have these in a safe place. Good Luck This Spring Everyone.

I carried that Jake around all day showing him off... man he was a trophy ...Little did I know JUST how much this turkey was going to cost me ... A BUNCH... LOL

So very similar to my experience.

My first bird was a Jake. Had no idea what I was doing, just bought a couple of calls and figured out where the birds were. Calling way too loud and too much, two Jake's came in quiet and I took the bigger one. I was hooked, doubly so the next year when I got my first long beard. THAT was an epic hunt.
