The price of an object is subject to change with the fluctuating market, that all I was stating.

Thanks for contributing to this post.

I miss the days when it wasn't about how much money a guy could make, but about turkey hunting and sharing it with like minded individuals

Preach!

Have you attempted to lease any land for hunting?

It is out of my reach financially. Just added to the mix.

Thanks

In my area it will set you back five or six high quality trumpet calls a year.

Just trying to a make a comparison on the value of an object or fee we have all paid at one time or another.

thanks again.

Thank for your concern, just trying to get the post count up.

Just points to consider:

What Lewis Stowe calls that are out there is all there will ever be. And while he was quality enough of a callmaker to defy regular rules of economics like some other makers, he simply didn't make near the numbers as those other makers. In other words his calls would hold the same value if he had made 5K more of them, but he didnt, they're even more rare than some might think if talking about yelpers.

His quality is top shelf, his calls play as easy as anyone's and generate easy rasp even with a novice caller.  His craftsmanship is first class, he was a machinist. However, he made calls of different lengths and mouthpieces different thicknesses. All the while a machinist could have made them identical, he chose to make them unique.  Not to mention his slate call innovation and being copied by the monster companies of the day, his reputation as a callmaker is as strong as anyone's.

He's a 2-time World Champion Caller, legendary callmaker, and a killer, a Peterbilt couldn't pull the gobblers he killed.

He's one of the finest Christians I've ever known, someone spoken highly by everyone not out of courtesy for the recently deceased, but from sincere respect and admiration and genuine friendship.  The kind of man that makes you want to be a better man.  A lot comes with a "Stowe call" and they're valuable for a reason

If easy rasp can be generated, even from a novice, I would take no less than $2000, especially in todays market ;) Sounds like this may be that "magical yelper".

You all are funny. He was old school Lewis Stowe and just a great person. I was just watching him on YouTube which brought me back over here. Ppl like that are a dying breed. He tried hard to make sure you were happy with your purchase.  I have a few and my favorite. He did make a easy running call.  Never got a bad one from him.
