My Calls from Unicoi 2019
« on: January 14, 2019, 10:51:45 AM »
Here are the calls I brought home from Unicoi. I had planned to get a few more but due to health issues I did not go out on the floor the second day. The best of the best are there and have numerous calls for you to run and pick out what you want. I am already making plans to attend next year.

I was lucky enough to run TJ Johnson's original 5 boxes he made and they were pretty good, I'd have graded them a solid B to B+...the calls he had on the table this past weekend were more than impressive.  I probably ran 12-15 of them for quite a while and I'd score everyone of them A to A+ this go around.  Marlin definitely picked the right man to continue his legacy.  I was especially impressed with how well they ran when I flipped them over and ran them upside down for some soft talk.  To me that's when you find out if a call is truly tuned 100% and every call I ran was.

Great hall Rickey!

The Coaxer will be a turkey killer. One of the best soft talkers I have run and I have several. Marlin has a winner with this one.

Beautiful calls Mr. Rickey.  Those pictures do not do the hen boxes any justice and they sound better than they look!

That would be awesome Paul. You have an open invitation.

Nice haul Rickey!  I was "peeking" over your shoulder and listening while you were running that Watkins Coaxer.  It is a sure enuff little killer.
