Had the privilege of going and seeing Lonnie a while back. Awesome visit. I encourage everyone to try and make the trip. You won't be disappointed.

Fine flock of call there Scott! :icon_thumright:
WOW!!! Now that is impressive.
Nice haul Scott. Look's like some good ones in that bunch.
Now he's just showing off.....lol.....amazing set of calls you have there, Scott.
Sweet lookin bunch of calls
which ones are for sale?
To hard to let any of them go.
A batch of great calls. Scott and I made the trip over to visit Lonnie a few months back. Couple of pictures of the calls in his shop, Lonnie usually has plenty of calls to choose from. You get to pick the call that you like and that is a Bonus, you get to leave with the call you like. Also allow yourself a couple of hours to listen to his turkey stories.

Impressive!!!
WOW YELPER THATS SOME PIC .....
THATS A SUPER CLEAN LOOKING SHOP ..... :icon_thumright:
That is a great set of calls you got going there. I wish I had picked up a few more on my last visit. Now the Army has sent me to PA it may be a while before I get back, but I will be back for sure. I had the pleasure of visiting Mr. Mabry last spring. He has a great setup going. Very few shops around that are as clean as his. Definitely put a couple hours aside as he will tell you everything you need to know about turkeys. What a great guy! What I found impressive was that if he makes a call and it doesn't sound good to him, it goes straight into the fire.
Looks like you emptied out his whole shop. Nice stuff.
Curious why you don't have one of his scratch boxes in the group? I have got to make a visit to his shop one day.
Shop looks dangerous
I can only carry so many in my hands. Lol!! I plan on going again and that is one thing i planned on getting on the next trip. They sound awedome also. Like everyone has said if Lonnie don't like it the fireplace it goes.
I have one of his walnut scratch boxes and it is a good one. But so are all his calls I have run.
If you don't have his walnut and mahogany slates you need to get them. Top notch realism. Mahogany is a little higher than the walnut. If you can't bring them in with those something is wrong.
Looks like an awesome experience fellas.....and wish Georgia was closer.
That's a lot of candy.

Now that's a nice bunch of calls.
Nice calls. Going to see him is on my bucket list!
Holy Smokes!
