Don't just automatically rule out certain businesses. Places like Macks Prairie Wings and Midwest Turkey Call have very good collections of what are really custom/semi custom calls from the likes of Halloran, McClain, Hooks, Hanks, etc, etc.These businesses have probably dealt a lot more with Canadian customers.Also, as far as strikers go, one of the best that you get and is available at a lot of places is the Woodhaven Strike 3 Birch. It will run on any surface and plays very easily. I've got tons of custom strikers, but the Woodhaven seems to make the cut every year.
That's in the whole country according to the website!
Finished up the repetoire tonight by ordering a Bloodwood over Black Limba Small Talk box from Josh Farley - like Nathan Taylor, another great guy who clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. I can't thank the folks at this forum enough for getting me onto these fellas (Farley, Taylor and JLH), without you all I'd be going to the woods with a battered Primos Wet-Box! Thanks for opening my eyes to how strong the turkey hunting community is - even if all the good stuff is south of the border from me!
That's awesome, I can't tell you how much I appreciate that, man. I will definitely check the group out but I'm looking quite intently at Knotty Beaver and Dark:30's stuff. Thanks for digging those guys up for me!
First of the packages have started to come in! Just got my strikers from JLH, but I'll let his photos speak for the beauty of them - a gorgeous Black and White Ebony and one of the best Katalox strikers to ever come off his bench (JLH's words, not mine) complete with worm-holing and sapwood! Can't wait to put them to slate soon!
