Whats everyones opinion on a traveling call? I just noticed this as a topic that was on another page here on OG. I thought this would be a cool idea, maybe if you killed a bird with the call, put a mark on the back of the call or something neat like that. Whats yalls thoughts on this?
I am not against it. I did it once on another site. It was fun. Someone would just needs to be willing to send a call to the other members. We would need to find out the dates that everyone starts hunting and what week we could get it to each member of the team. The other traveling call I did asked for all the team members to sign the call and in the package you mailed it to each other was some ziplock bags where if you killed a bird with the call you put some breast feathers in the bag. There was also a sheet that told the details ( beard length, spur length, weight, did you use decoys, etc.) about the bird killed with the call. If it is something everyone would like to do then we can arrange it.
We can always put our own spin on it so if people are interested then please throw out some ideas, just stated what my past experience with a traveling call was.
Sounds like a great idea to me. As long as it's not a mouth call I'm all about it LOL ;D

Come on man, be a team player. I will buy a brand new mouth call that I will use for a week then send it to the next guy to use then he sends it to the next one and so on and so on. :TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
If ya'll are interested I guess we could put our season dates up and try to nail down the times we need to be sharing the call. I guess it would work better to get a schedule up of who would get the call and when. I liked the ideas of the feathers in a bag with a brief description of the kill
I'll get it started our season n VA starts with a youth day on April 7th. Our regular season opens on April 14th and runs thru May 19th.
I'll be next. My season starts on March 24 th and goes through around the second week in May.
I will be hunting April 9-13 and May 3-10 for sure and maybe April 28- May2 if I draw my third tag. Will be going with my son April 14-19 and with my stepson April 20-25. :funnyturkey:
I will possibly be hunting March 15 - 18 out of state. I will definitely be hunting April 1 -May 1.
Cool idea ,,Our season runs april 28 to may 31
I start on march 8th for youth. Will be hitting the woods on the 10th with my son. I get to carry a gun on March 15th. I'll be in the woods 15-19. Then every weekend till it closes.
I've never took part in the traveling call thing but I definitely think it would be pretty cool. I'll be hunting in AL March 15th. Then it opens in GA the following weekend. But I'm in if you guys want to give it a try.
I need to buy a spring home further south, you guys in SC, GA and AL are killin' me with your March openers. ;)
Some ideas....
1. We have a talented call maker on the team. Spin one up and send it out we all use it for the weekend sign it then ship it out to the next guy. With M,Yingling ending up with it last. He can then either add back to his collection or sell it to another team mate(s), but it's got to end up with a Spur Collector. IMHO if CJ Stahly ends up missing the season due to his service, I'd like to see him end up with it as a gift from the rest of us.
2. The first guy to put one on the ground sends out one from his stash to the next guy. With the calls owner getting it back once everybody had a go with it.
That's what I had in my head. I get the feeling that we have all good people on our team and that no one will "drop the ball".

I like idea 1. I would be willing to mail M, Yingling a few bucks toward the call. If he would come up with Spur Collector Call, I personally prefer slate, and then let us know how much it would cost him, we could all chip in on the cost of the call. With 12 of us, I would guess it would be no more than $5 a person.
I also like the idea of giving it to CJ if he has to sit the season out.
Mike has had this one posted in the classifieds for some time now.

If we split the cost of it then we could send him $3 a piece and get things going.

I like it, lets get the ball rolling. Mike, PM your address so we can get the $$ to you.
I'm in. Will send funds tomorrow when I get to town.
Should somebody pm mike and have him mark the call sold?
I will let him know.
Sent Mike the pm about the call.
If Chris is unable to hunt because he is deployed then we will donate the call to him as a gesture from the team. If he gets to hunt then I will look at the team roster as it is posted in the Team Registration thread, excluding myself for fairness, and use a random number generator to select which team mate gets the call at the end of the season.
Does that seem fair to all team members?
This is the website I will use to randomly choose the member. The generator is at the top on the right hand side:
http://www.random.org/
I have no problem with your name being on the list. It should be.
Well fellows, put your hands together for Mike once again. He is donating the travel call that we were wanting to buy. I tried getting him to let us buy it but he just wants to donate it. I hope EVERYONE on the team will tell him thanks for the great gesture. He already gave us all one call so I just hope everyone shows their appreciation for him doing this!
:thanks: :thanks: :thanks:
Also want to say a big thanks to Cayonhunter for getting the ball rolling on this. It is a great idea and without his suggestion we probably would not be doing it.
:thanks:
:thanks:
Thanks Mike.
Thanks Mike!!!

No Thanks needed ,,, davisd9 ,,Toss your name in their also
Thanks Mike!! I agree, davisd9 you need to put your in too!
Thanks Mike!! Put your number in there Donald.
Thanks alot guys for putting all this together. Big thanks to Mike for donating the call. That man has already done alot for this team with making us all a call. I like the idea of after it's all said and done giving the call to CJ as a small token of appreciation for his service to this great country. If anyone needs any help from me on this post it or send me a pm. I check in several times a day. Also, Donald if we do draw for this traveling call at the end of the season you should put your name in the hat. I trust that every man here is trustworthy and are all good men. Can't wait to get the season started guys! :fud:
Sounds good to me! thanks to all that got this going. I have never participated in one of these and look forward to it!
Mike, Still loving the tube call! It put out some sweet Gobbles!

Thanks for the gesture guys, it awfully nice, but not neccessary. No matter if I have to sit this one out or not, I would prefer to have the same chance as everyone else at being drawn for the call.
I also think Donald should be allowed to get drawn as well. I think everyone should get the same shot.
