I have made friends on here over the years that I talk to basically daily, I have guys on here that I'd consider friends that we talk fairly regularly as well. I have traded calls on here to guys that ended up being friends and I wouldn't take 10k$ for the call. Not because of the call but because of the source. They all know who they are.
One of the guys that falls in these categories is a guy y'all know as Zelmo. We have talked in the past and got to talking last week about my son being ate up with turkey hunting. His birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and he asked me for turkey calls, and a new camo shotgun. Al (Z) sent him a call that he made and absolutely made Gunnar's day yesterday!. We can't thank you enough for your generosity. He slept with the call in his bed with him last night. He wouldn't let me put it up!. Z, my friend, thank you.
This forum is responsible for several guys that have become friends to my kids and myself and that's more than worth anything else.
Thank you Shannon for this great network of hunters and friends. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250209/6d0cdff3b5dc1c6c97b81afeffec477b.jpg)

He took his first gobbler in the spring of 24 and took this hen, his second turkey during the fall using his papaw's barn as a blind. He's something else!

Totally agree. This forum is made up of some wonderful guys. This is a community I would feel safe with my family being around. And Scott you have my son a turkey call a few years ago. That was really special. There's so much generosity and kindness in this community.

Turkey hunters tend to be good folk. Lots of top notch ones on here. It's good to share the good deeds. That boy looks thrilled with his call.
Zelmo is definitely one of the finest on this site. That call he made will talk turkey too.

Yep, it adds a lot of interaction in the exchanges. A laught react, a like, something like a superlike for those wow post... It's a great add. And maybe an easier way to post pictures... But I'm not complaining ;)
