Turkey Calls / Re: Thank you gift

Last post by Marc - Today at 04:26:09 PM

I think such a call would be a great gift...

I would like a Trumpet call myself, but know nothing about them.

When I purchase a call as a gift, I am generally purchasing a call that I have some experience with.  Last calls I purchased for others were scrathers from Lonnie Gilbert.  I have used several scratchers, and had the best experience with his calls.  He put some personalized engraving (with their names) on them, and they sound great...

If I wanted to get a bit more spendy, I would go with a good custom box call or long box call from a call maker I have had a good experience with.  I would also have it personalized with engraving...

Me...  I would love a good trumpet or wingbone call...  I would also enjoy learning to use it... 

Good luck...  It sounds like your friend is lucky to have you as a friend!

General Forum / Re: Taking the safety off...sp...

Last post by Marc - Today at 03:37:59 PM

I have hunted public grounds with some degree of pressure, and have hunted private grounds with less pressure...  I have yet to see a bird react to the "click" of the safety.  However, I do not have a loud safety...  And, I usually pinch off the safety to stay even more quiet (as I am just naturally in quiet mode while hunting turkeys).

I feel that talking and whispering is far more deleterious than the gun safety going off...  Sure, plenty of birds still come in with quiet whispering, but I feel there are other birds that would have shown, that do not.

I know that it is a lot easier to get a bird in range hunting by myself...  Less movement to see, and it is difficult to sit in silence all day with a partner.

I would think that the "click" of the safety would make them periscope their head for an instant?
