Pot Calls Forum / One for an old friend
Last post by mastevt - Today at 09:19:34 AM
Finished this one up.  I got lucky on this shell, as the primer was made out of brass too.  Last one I did was steel, so it made a nice striker top.  I found his Company's patch online, and thought it made for a nice touch.
Thanks for looking.  Scott.

Quote from: hawkeye1958 on Today at 08:05:49 AMSeveral people say the get an older Halloran call but I have a newer one and can't imagine an older one sounding any better.

I feel like most all cases of the whole "old vs new" call thing is the same as the "shoulda been here yesterday" fishing thing. I bet if David cranked out some new pots with his old burned rectangle stamp logo, nobody would be able to tell a difference lol.
I will say that ive encountered one glaring "older is better" in pot calls and that was the Primos Power Crystal. The strutting turkey logo power crystals vs the feather logo power crystals were significantly different. I have two of the strutting logos and have played countless feather logo's that aren't even close.
There are of course cases where old vs new does mean something; like when a company is bought out and manufacturing is relocated and done by others, etc. But I feel like callmakers who have been in the game for a long time like Halloran and Cody are making calls just as good today as they were 20 yrs ago.

Deer are beneficial for the freezer. The last thing I want while I'm turkey hunting is a GD deer blowing and causing a scene while I'm in the woods and especially when I'm fooling with a turkey.

I think it can be a good thing if they keep their distance. Personally I don't like deer in close proximity of me (30 yards or so ) while I'm turkey hunting. I don't mind if they are off 80 yards or more as I enjoy watching them.
