Trumpets / Wingbones Forum / Re: Billy Buice VideoLast post by WLT III - Today at 09:54:03 AMQuote from: KeeKee on Today at 01:18:14 AMEveryones' a trumpet builder these daysQuote from: WLT III on February 11, 2026, 10:39:22 AMWouldnt give $20 for most junk out there today. Was at Unicoi last month, walked up to a mans table full of yelpers. Asked him to let me hear em play. Told me he doesn't play them, he just builds them. Walked away without saying another word. What a friggin joke.On that same note I picked up a trumpet at a guy's booth to play at the Mossy oak store's turkey tailgate and got a mouth full of sawdust. I spit it out then held my finger over the mouthpiece and blew it all out. He didnt say a word 🤣.... #22
General Forum / Re: TSS article Outddoor LifeLast post by patternfreak - Today at 09:52:10 AMQuote from: GobbleNut on Today at 09:28:30 AMInteresting article. In another thread, I mentioned how the cost of my TSS shells was insignificant to the overall cost of turkey hunting for me...that is, based on how many shells I generally fired in a season. I have to admit that the increases in price we are witnessing now is making me grit my teeth a bit more about forking over the dough for TSS. You aren't the only one. I've been a die hard TSS shooter for the past 6 years or so. I've developed hundreds of loads and spend thousands of dollars on ballistic testing. Mainly waterfowl stuff but a good share of turkey loads as well. This past waterfowl season I didn't load any new shells with TSS. This turkey season I plan on shooting lead shot. The line in the sand has to be drawn somewhere. Once all of this passes with China I don't think we will see prices come back down, because you guys are still buying it. Once a price is accepted by the market it rarely comes back down. Remember when home prices shot up during Covid because interest rates were low and everyone said "That's crazy, I'll buy when they come back down!" They haven't came down and they're not going to. Same thing with TSS. No one selling it for $100 a pound is going to come back down to $40 unless we quit buying it. #25

Up until now, I have used TSS because I wanted to have the "best" chance of killing any gobbler I pulled the trigger on. THAT is the only reason I shoot it. As the price of TSS shells goes up, that reasoning is becoming more and more hazy for me. I suspect I am not the only one having that same debate with themselves. #27
Call Making Competition Forum / Re: Contest datesLast post by Woodleyrd - Today at 09:26:39 AMQuote from: Austy on February 12, 2026, 01:10:38 PMI believe that probably one of the next Custom Turkey Call Competitions will be the Dixie Deer Classic which I think this year is between Feb 27 – Mar 1, 2026 at the NC State Fairgrounds 4285 Trinity Road Raleigh, N.C. 27607. I do not know what the process is for submitting calls to be judged or where they need to be sent and by when they need to be received but I am sure with a little digging you could find that out if you need that information. Hope that helps!! You can search Southeastern call makers contest on the interweb and they have everything you need there. #28
General Forum / Re: 20 gauge lead loadLast post by Smallfry - Today at 09:19:38 AMYes, verdict has an ounce and a half load of fives. I bought a few boxes so far I haven't been able to find the right choke to get a tight pattern. Windy Hill offers a load of sixes in an ounce and 7/16 I haven't gotten those yet to try to pattern them. But they're just aren't many options out there that I have been able to find.
