It's not bad at all. We had been flying down and that's such a hassle. Drove last year and going to drive again this year. Much more fun if you have a few other guys.

I will be there for sure Thursday night and Friday. Probably Saturday but I'm supposed to work shift so haven't decided if I'm gonna use a vacation day yet. I can carpool if I stay the whole time but will have to drive myself if I come home Friday.

I really want to go. It sucks because it's on my wife's birthday every year and we all know how much our wives love listening to turkey calls lol. We were actually going to go last year and one of the kids got sick right before the trip. This year we just don't have the extra money to drive over there. One day I'm going to get to go!

Open to the public. 

You DO have to have a table to sell.  Can't just walk around the show floor with a sack of your own calls (or holsters  :toothy9:) to sell.  But, from what I hear........any sales or trades that take place OUTSIDE the lodge are kosher.  At least that's what I've been told.
Title: Re: Who's going to Unicoi ???
Post by: Prohunter3509 on December 29, 2022, 11:50:32 AM
I would like to meet some of the call makers and maybe purchase a couple of calls
Title: Re: Who's going to Unicoi ???
Post by: Zobo on December 29, 2022, 05:32:48 PM
Can't go, it's been kind of a dream of mine. One day I'll make it. Some of you folks who go should try to post some pictures and let us know what it was like,what you found, etc. It would be very much appreciated by people like me who can't make it. Thanks in advance!

I would like to be there but have other responsibilities to attend to here at home. Besides meeting the makers of the various calls I use it would have been nice to meet some of the people from OG I talk with. Enjoy everybody!

Sure was hoping I could spend a little time with everyone, but I guess it was not meant to be. Hope everyone has a great time, and though I can't be there you will be in my thoughts.  Bob

Ok Bob, I Hope the storms yesterday didn't cause any damage to keep you from attending. Winter storm warnings for that area of Georgia around Unicoi

Wish i would of known Steve, would of loved to have met you. I met up with my buddy Matt (Mountain hunter1), had a great time on Friday and got some awesome calls and met some first class callmakers, everyone was so nice and accomodating. I was the chubby guy wearing a Bills hat and Matt looks like Jeff Foxworthy

If you were hanging with Mike Lapp then we probably had breakfast each morning.   I sat at his table in the morning.
