Thanks team, just a nice guy, and Jason was very helpful. Turnaround was a couple of weeks which in this era is pretty good. I love the swirly grain on the pot, glass fit perfect, holes drilled super clean, and a perfect finish on the pot. The alligator cover is so unique.  Best of all, all turkey on the sweet spot....good luck to all....

A piece of history there for sure. Don’t have any of mr. Sneeds calls. I think it’s time for me to give him a call based on recent consensus

I have one in my vest at all times. Proven turkey killer. It can get loud and raspy but also rolls over the sweetest soft yelps I’ve ever heard.

The very first Pot Call I ever bought was Mr. Lonnie's Outlaw Hen. In fact, bought two, one each for my Son and me. Never will forget, I called him on July 3rd one year and left a message around 7:30 p.m. to call me back at his convenience. He did so around 9:45 the same night. We discussed the Calls I wanted and the proper use and care for them and and general turkey talk. And then we went hunting!!! Mr. Lonnie walked me through so many hollows and drug me to the tops of so many hills in West Virginia I woke up the next morning with blisters on my feet! I even started hearing what sounded like gunfire outside in my neighborhood! I finally realized the sound was fireworks and I told Mr. Lonnie Happy Fourth of July! That spry young- at- heart mountain man had talked to me for over 2 hours strong and slam into the next day!!! I never will forget that night and his literally captivating stories about the good 'ol days in "Wild and Wonderful West Virginia".

Congrats Tom.
I been buying pots from Mr. Sneed for a long time, for me, my sons and hunting buddies.
I've got pots from the best of the best and I hunt them all in rotation except a Sneed pot never leaves my vest.

Brother I realize you’re being sarcastic but if I had one I’d seriously give it to ya. I’d not even pick one up if it was lying on the ground free. I hope the sound is better now too. Let’s not start knocking the man now. There’s plenty of thread already on here about that. We don’t need to rehash it.  I do see improvement. I’ll acknowledge that. Until I hear sone drastic sound change happened too I’d still never think it was worth $25. Why don’t you post a sound file of yours and show me?
