There are probably 20 or more that are not in the picture. When you are forced to start packing for a move you begin to realize how much you have.
Yes sir!! For sure have so many it's hard to decide what to use!

Indeed it is. Getting stuff boxed up just in case, bought some totes a different color so I know which ones my calls are in.

If not for my car accidents I sure would have liked to have tried fly fishing, not tying though, my eyes are bad enough as is!

Thankfully, no. LOL I have never been a collector of anything. My call collection, after 40+ years of turkey hunting, would probably be laughable to most of you guys.

I have the addiction. Mine is a little more focused on specific call and striker types.

I have enough Calls + Strikers for an Army- LOL!
I have a problem with fishing tackle and rods. I'd be lost with that many strikers.

I have been collecting one thing or another my entire life, started as a child collecting football cards and was still collecting those until they started to disrespect the anthem and the flag and then I stopped and won't even watch or wear any sports merchandise anymore until they start to use their heads again.
I have a large movie collection over the last 20 some odd years and of course turkey calls and books as well as books on The American Revolution.
The one thing I have not seemed to be able to collect though is my own hair!

Nothing wrong with that. I know I was going to get a Mesquite call from Noel Gonzales before he passed, (I was not on his list but had intended to contact him) I have to find somebody else to make me one, liked the idea of him making it because he was from the area where it grows and had such a great reputation with that wood in particular and of course others. I some sound files I had heard of his calls as well. I also would like to get a couple of Holly calls in the future as well.

I am not there yet, maybe for a couple of squads.
I have to go fishing this week, I do not have a lot though. Have you ever used one of those fishing backpacks? I have been thinking of getting one and since I am going to have to be on crutches for a bit after my surgery on my foot on the 29th I am really tossing the idea around.
I callect calls also, but that is a lot of strikers
Fly fishing, especially for steelhead, and tying is not an addiction it is an obsession, at least for me.

I also collect calls, at first I did not really want to say that, for some it seems to have negative connotations, but there is no doubt about it, I have become a collector of calls. I hope to have a Cow horn call, a Jolly Scratch Tube and some others but next season, that will all depend on how things go in the move.

I never wanted to get into tying, my eyes are bad enough but I wish I had tried fly fishing before my car accident.
I collect nothing, although I have several calls I've bought and don't really use. I'll give them to my one particular grandson who turkey hunts. Monetarily, I've got a Neil Cost box call and a couple trumpets that could garner some money via eBay. But I'll most likely give those to my grandson as well.

Nothing wrong with that and you will give him memories for a lifetime.
Not quite that bad I only have about 15 strikers or so .

You are probably right.

That's quite a pile of sweet strikers Steve!
I finally took some time and sorted my calls last week, they were tucked away in several different spots. I'm no collector, more a call accumulator.
And I accumulated way too many calls. Got a few nice box calls out on loan to buddies that I didn't even count. Then I realized I had a couple pot calls I didn't find, guess I must have loaned them out but can't remember who or where LOL.
Time to pare it all back down.

Only person I loaned anything to was one of the Deacons in my church, loaned him a box call and a striker. The striker came back in the box but the box call did not. We are not sure if I gave it to him in a box, but it would be odd if I did not because that is the call I keep with me in the truck normally and it is always in it's packaging so it does not get messed up.
Yes sir, I collect Primos mainly anything turkey related. Have some very nice custom calls I've picked up along the way also. It's a way to stay in the turkey frame of mind when I'm not allowed to hunt them. Where did you get those clear striker containers you have if you dont mind sharing?

JHL Strikers AKA Jeff sends them when you buy a striker from him. I am starting to collect Primos DVD's I like the way the old videos were done much more than many new videos I see.
