Many of my calls & accessories are in an Ol Tom Treasure Chest that is then kept inside a airtight plastic bin. Mouthcalls are cleaned and kept in the refrigerator. Special calls or "Collectibles" are in a corner glass cabinet.

Mouth Diaphragms washed off with water, dried and place in the refrigerator.  Pot call and box calls pleaced in big plastic tub with other turkey hunting gear.  Trumpets stay next to where I sit, I play them all year trying to become better.

Diaphram calls are soaked for 10 minutes in Listerine Cool Mint then dried and put back in refrigerator. Ive known more turkey hunters that didnt do anything too their mouth calls only to use them the next year and get a bad sore throat those germs will get you all the time. The pot calls and such get a good cleaning and put away till the next season.

Do y'all wash and dry your mouth calls after every hunt? I read that someone was doing that, but mouth washing then drying with toothpicks between reeds is kind of a hassle.

I do, after they dry I use a little talcum powder between the latex to keep them from sticking together. That's how I store them after season and in the refrigerator.

I am not a big diaphragm call user so I just throw them away and order new. Everything else goes into a small plastic box and onto a shelf.

Who puts calls up after the season, I'm just getting started playing them... LOL...     I do store some of my calls in plastic totes and i use those cheap koozie for my pot calls etc... I use those Silic packs in the containers also... You can buy those off Amazon ....

Mouth calls in the fridge, others in a curio cabinet. Custom made turkey calls are folk art show them off!

They are generally pretty good stored where humidity is normal and calls are dry. Nothing too special

All calls well except mouth calls, go into 2 very large curio cabinets to house the following:.
Box- a bunch                        Pot calls -a bunch
Trumpet calls. 20+              Locater.
Push pin calls.                     Hooty who
Scratch boxes. 5                 Hawk
Crow calls.                           Peacock

There are filled with everything that has to go with the Wild turkey. I have ALL OF the decanters Wild Turkey, Books and books!!!
Even have a collection of old Prince Albert tobacco cans
Numerous knives such as Vietnam bayonet
German bayonet from WWII, CASE made a limited edition Louisiana Game Warden knife
About 20 years of NWTF knives of the year
I even have a glass bottle shaped like a wild turkey that came from Avon, you guessed it Wild turkey cologne, it was my PawPaws &e passed in 1977, inside the bottle has some left and it smells great!!!!
But as far as my turkey hunting clothes, they go in big places tubs with lids. Vests as well.
Easy access to all my calls whenever I need to calm down a little bit.

Have a good one, Bo
