Hi folks,ol Strutter here. Just putting this feeler out to see who may be interested. Being that we are post turkey season I thought it may be nice to see if their were any folks that wanted to get together to talk turkey and just meet. I'm thinking we could all bring our calls and get tips from each other on running them plus we would be seeing the different types/makers of these calls.I myself would like to improve on the trumpet and diaphragm for next year. I spoke with Del (savduck) on this forum and he was interested. I think most would benefit by talking and running trumpets with him. Of course the logistics would have to be worked but I'm initially thinking at some location in middle Georgia. So, just a laid back informal gathering of folks with the common interest of turkey hunting. Further suggestions welcome....what say you? Oh, happy Father's Day!!! David.
Strutter,
Speaking from experience on turkey guys getting together, you need to do it. My buddies drenalinld and Crawdad come up to my place every now and then and we spend the day running calls, eating, and telling big tales. They normally get here pretty early in the morning and the day is gone before you know it. I really enjoy seeing their calls and listening to them run them. I normally smoke something on the grill such as a pork loin, chicken, or my Wild Turkey Extreme and the wife fixes some veggies and dessert. I always learn something from those guys. Now that I think about it, it is way past time for one of our visits also. If I were a little closer I would join your group just to listen to Del run his trumpets.
Now that's what I'm talking about, you described it perfectly! Thanks, hunter22.
I'm game for a Saturday of fun. I'm 2 to 3 hours from middle GA.
What ever happened to the turkey call get together up in the mountains of North Georgia? Do they still have that one?
I live in south Georgia, when can we do it?
SCGobbler, I think you may be referring to the one at Unicoi State Park in Helen, Ga. The last one I attended was in 12....don't know if they had one in 13 & 14. larry9988 we will just have to pick an available Saturday and location for it I'd say within the next couple of months. Thanks. Strutter.
OK. When you get a date let us know. I will try to attend although I work most Saturdays from now to fall. (farming)
Id recommend putting this in the general forum too.
I LIVE ALMOST DUE SOUTH WAY DOWN HEAR , TOOOO FOR FOR. DAY , DANG SOUNDS LIKE FUN :blob10:
Sounds good how about picking a town like the nwtf convention and do that? I live in east tennessee about two and half hours from chattnogga 'the spelling looks wrong on that lol'

That's it Strutter! Couldn't remember where it was but Unicoi State Park was the site!
they moved the Unicoi show to the Dillard House the last two seasons. They had it in January last year.
Do you go savduck?
Im gonna try this year. Didnt have time the last two.
Get together's are fun. Went to my first this year. A bunch of PA boys get together in Harrisburg PA at a Old Country Buffet. Get the big back room run or show calls and tell hunting stories. It was awesome. Will do it again next year for sure. Good luck organizing yours, it will be fun for all!
Nice to meet you today David!!
You sure picked out a nice call!!!
Great choice. Wish I could have been there today. Let's see some pictures
Andy it was nice meeting you and the guys! I can't thank you enough for the invite. It was a pleasure meeting and talking with Billy. Top shelf stuff! Will got me the pic and I'll try to get it posted. Del, I wish you could have made it , hopefully there will be a next time...Strutter. Oh Andy, thank you for the breakfast as well!
Time well spent...Billy, me and desert ironwood.
Man that was a fine group of men you got to hang out with. nice choice of wood. Billy should be building me an iron wood and ivory. Hoping he let Andy pick out a nice piece of wood. sorry I missed it. Gonna try to hit him up in October.
