Title: Traveling call
Post by: vicksburg on March 04, 2011, 04:25:42 PM
Are we gonna get a call or two passed around this year?  There was mention of it earlier, but none since.   I enjoyed it last year...

I was wondering the same thing.  We have a few callmakers on the team and I thought someone said they'd make one for the season, but maybe I'm mistaken. 

I know the season starts next weekend for a few of us, so we need to decide soon.  I enjoyed it last year.

I sure wish I would have had time to put together a traveling call again this year for the team. I spent my whole time off this last time moving into another house and getting things squared away there. Had to do all I could so when I get off the rig I could concentrate on hunting. I'm sure though someone will get things hooked up and rolling again soon.

Chris,

I'm going to Tatum Plantation in SW MS to hunt Mar 14-16, so I SHOULD get a kill there.  I will be hunting public land Mar 12-13 in MS too.  I can start and send it to Quinn or vice-versa

That sounds like a plan, we'll get it in the mail on Monday.

You should have it in plenty of time to get some blood on it.  :you_rock: :you_rock:

I'll be hunting in MS 3/23 - 3/27 if it is available during that time. :z-guntootsmiley:

I only got an "almost" with the traveling call last year.  I plan on putting a bird on the ground with it this year!!

10-4, I will send it to you after my 3 day hunt in Woodville.  Hopefully I can ship it on the 17th.  Make sure you don't limit out before then!!!

No problem CC. With as many team members as we have right now, two calls will be a good idea.

Who gets it next? I have alot going on at the office this week and won't get to hunt much before work, but if no one is in line to get it, I'll hang onto it until later in the week and try to crack another skull with it. 

Y'all let me know...won't hurt my feelings either way, cause one already died with it in my possession.

I could use it!  I am heading to Preacher's place Wednesday.  Could I get his address and have you mail it to him for me?

Stephan,
Sounds good.  If your coming through Vicksburg, MS i can just hand it off to you.  Let me know.

According to my miler on my PC it will be quicker if I go to Memphis and down 55, plus I will be less likely to get a traveling trophy that way.  There are a LOT of small towns on hwy 65 in AR if I came that way.

Make sure and get that call down there Stephan so i can sign it when I kill my Mississippi bird with it!!! :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: I might even let you kill one after that HAHAHAHA I am excited to get to hunt with you man!!

Oh that is a sweet looking call guys! I like the traveling call idea. Good Luck to everyone.

The call went out this morning.  I almost forgot, and was in such a hurry to get it to the secretary so she could get it to the PO, i forgot to sign the dang thing...
Don't that suk! Oh well! Maybe i'll see it again before the end of the season and get to sign it with the date of my kill on it.
