Title: Friendly Wager
Post by: zelmo1 on March 23, 2023, 10:26:47 AM
I wagered with the GOATS last year and lost to the nannies. Gobblenut graciously still sent the mouth calls he wagered so I sent them all strikers as well. Great fun and a class bunch. I will extend the same wager to you this year. I will pony up one of my modest pots, nothing fancy just a turkey in every pot, against whatever you wish to lose. Trash talking, which i see you are accomplished, is always welcomed. Thank you in advance to donating to our nble cause. Z

 I'm new to making box calls but feel I'm progressing. I've posted pictures and sound files in the box call forum. http://oldgobbler.com/Forum/index.php/topic,107185.0.html I will put up one of my boxes to your pot call. If you feel like that is a fair bet then consider your challenge accepted. I will let the other guys handle the trash talking they are much better at it than me.

Thank you Hillclimber! I was going to PM you to see if you were willing to part with a call. I am more than happy to send the box I have, after the season, of course. But I also wanted to see if we could pass the box around to all the members on the team?

If you all win that call better take more than a pop gun with you. Pterodactyls come to it and big  sabbaticals. I was the first one to get Zitmo's call last fall and this is what I had to kill in self defense:

that's a 13.25" beard and 1.5" spurs boys....

That is cool bro. I have a few " fancy calls" but always end up with my own in my hands when it matters. I will try Jims mouth calls this spring as well. Good luck to West Augusta  :funnyturkey: Z

I have all the faith in our team that your call will be coming our way and not the alternative.
