Title: LONNIE SNEED TURKEY CALLS [PICTURES ADDED]
Post by: slicksbeagles1 on March 11, 2014, 02:25:47 PM
GUY IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED ANY OF MR. SNEED'S TURKEY CALLS YOU SHOULD. HE MAKES ALL TYPES AND I HAVE A FEW OF EACH. THIS YEAR I GOT A POT CALL FROM HIM HE CALLS THE OUTLAW HEN. I THINK IT IS THE BEST YET IT IS GREEN GLASS AND SOME HOW HE HAS CHANGED SOMETHING BUT IT IS AWSOME. I ALSO GOT ONE OF HIS BOX CALLS WHICH IS THE GLUED TOGETHER TYPE THAT IS PRETTY GOOD ALSO. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE OF HIS CALLS YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO TRY ONE. GIVE HIM A CALL YOU  WILL BE GLAD YOU DID. HE STAYS IN THE SHOP MOST OF THE TIME SO IF YOU DO NOT GET AN ANSWER LEAVE A MESSAGE OR CALL BACK AROUND 6:00PM EST HAS BEEN MY BEST TIME TO RICH HIM. LONNIE SNEED 304-425-3021

I feel fortunate to be able to say Lonnie is a dear friend. The man is a wealth of knowledge about hunting and turkey calling. I believe he was 5 time state calling champion in West Virginia. He has killed more turkeys than most people will see in a lifetime. I always enjoy our phone visits. Lonnie Jr. has invited me there someday to visit him and his dad and I might just take him up on it.

I have several calls made by Lonnie. I used one Hot Hen slate two springs ago to call 12 gobblers to the gun with just that call. The Outlaw Hen will be a killer also. I plan to run one of those this spring.

Mr. Sneed's seems to be a popular guy around here. Does he have a website or just take over the phone orders? Whats he charge for the hot hen pot?
Title: Re: LONNIE SNEED TURKEY CALLS
Post by: TJK68 on March 15, 2014, 10:12:10 PM
Just phone orders,  he charges $30 for his calls and that is shipped.

Yup, this 100% correct.  I'd recommend looking up some pics of the cover...... it's a unique design and it's pretty neat.

I actually just got my hot hen slate and my outlaw hen green glass in, along with a tree yelper....I love the hot hen, but the outlaw hen definitly has a different sound....still trying to work with it.  Very happy with the purchase.  Mr. Sneed is a personable and likeable person.

Does he keep calls on hand? Is the only payment option he accepts is check, or mo by mail? Going to an expo tom and may give him a call if I don't find anything I like there.

Title: Re: LONNIE SNEED TURKEY CALLS [PICTURES ADDED]
Post by: captin_hook on March 24, 2014, 02:48:13 PM
Turn around isn't bad. Might be just a few days if he has some made. I had mine about 5 days after I ordered it.

I have a Hot Hen and a Outlaw hen that both sound great. What is the
Tree yelper? Is it a pot call?
Title: Re: LONNIE SNEED TURKEY CALLS [PICTURES ADDED]
Post by: Jgarrett on March 25, 2014, 11:39:52 AM
Tree yelper is just a thin piece of wood with a circle cut out of it with a piece of slate glued onto the wood,  it just produces a very soft yelp.  I think they are only like $10, I've used mine right at daylight and gotten some responses out of it.  Something small and a little different sounding to use.

That little tree yelper that dad makes works very good late in the day when gobblers are shut mouthed. I will get in a place were I know there are turkey and just sit and make feeding calls of a hen on that little call. Several time I have done that and about 30 min. after I start doing the feeding calls a gobbler will show up. It is a very effective call to have in the vest.

Lonnie Jr, I actually called your father Monday morning to thank him for my hot hen slate that helped me take a great gobbler that morning, lol

I have two of Lonnie' slate calls. Great calls at a reasonable price....Great guy to talk to with lots of stories. Originally found his calls in a general store on the WV/VA line. ...

Was playing around last night with my hot hen slate and with the little tree yelper last night, man they have an amazing sound to them, just so smooth!!  I actually called with them and then called with all the other calls I had in my vest and just couldnt get that same great sound from any of them and I have alot of other great custom calls in there.   Mr. Sneeds call is the first one that I will reach for this spring in the turkey woods for sure!! 

Cant wait to get a few more from him!! Awesome calls!
