Title: How many turkey calls do you own?
Post by: Buzzkiller on May 11, 2016, 11:40:01 PM
Had some guest over the other night and after seeing some of my calls they said that I
must have a bad addiction. So it got me to wondering how many other guys on here have
this bad disease and how many calls you have?

I'd say 25 to 30. But that number grows more and more each year.

If I have to count mine for you to feel better or worse about yours, then yes you have a problem.

Only 1 or 2 depending on the season. However, there are A LOT of them around the house that I have no idea where they came from..........LOL.

I keep it manageable, i tend to trade or sell so I can buy new and just keep the few im attached to. I like to try new ones every year but I have too many other expensive hobbies to just have $1000 in calls sitting around not in use but the collection is always in change over. I probably bought 8-10 new ones but sold 5 or so.

Alot.

Sad part is that many are store bought calls that I have had for 20 plus years and they never get touched. I seem to take the same calls Everytime out. I figure I have little guys that will start out with the old store bought when they are ready. They already busted a few calling in mom.

Post by: goblr77 on May 12, 2016, 02:09:38 PM
No clue. Probably 50 pots, 25 box calls, 10 or so trumpets, a few push pins, and a couple scratch boxes. I've never smoked crack but it can't be much more addictive than fine turkey calls.
Title: Re: How many turkey calls do you own?
Post by: troutfisher13111 on May 12, 2016, 02:41:21 PM
5 trumpets
6 Pots
3 boxes
24-30 diaphragms
1 scratch

Way to many to only use a few but some were given to me as gifts I have my dads boxes and pot calls. I kept the first calls I started with and just added more from there and will keep adding  :funnyturkey:

12 box calls 5 of which are collectors, and will not come out of their packaging.
7 pot calls with 9 strikers
2 gobble calls
1 crow call
1 hawk screamer
2 tube calls
2 hoot tubes

I had WAY more calls, but I passed them on.

Enough to call in a turkey or 2.

Why, why, WHY would you EVER want to count them.  That is a huge mistake!  Did you count the number of cookies you ate this year?  Or brewski's you drank.....I don't think so..... :o :o :o Some things are just better left unknown. ;)

Yes very addictive. Turkey season is over and I'm still buying calls. Must be going through withdrawal.

Enough to make my wife ask questions. Never says a word when a new gun shows up. I just keep telling her they're breeding in the drawer.

Gave several production calls away to my niece and nephews. Only kept 3 I think. There are 4 Yingling pots but I'm giving one to dad so 3 I guess. Two Halloran, one Sinclair, one Rick Roberts, two Mabry boxes and one SS box as well as an SS scratch box. That's fourteen I think. Throw in the couple tubes and a trumpet and you've got the total sum not counting a couple locators. I don't count diaphragm calls as they're relatively inexpensive all things considered and don't take up much space. I've got two on order from Lonnie Sneed and I'm shipping out payment to a member here on Monday for a Sinclair slate. Now that I've mentioned slate, it reminds me of my tylersburg yelpers stuff. I've got one of Richard's pot calls that grows on me a bit more every time I use it as well as his long slate (gotta check those out if you're a slate fan) and his pocket slate. Richard and Wendy are two nice people that really try to please their customers. Around 20 on tap with more to come if I've done the math right but I'm a public educator so who knows?

Whew I don't know and I don't want the Boss Hen to know either.  I imagine when I die she is going to shovel them all into the garbage can.

Still growing as we speak!
Help me, I'm stuck and can't quit.
Maybe we need a sub-forum for this addiction and help!

There is no guessing how many I own , my best guess would be at least 300-400 hundred as a minimum , perhaps more they are scattered all over my place

Most are ones I or my father built for ourselves , quite a few pushpins , box and pot calls I've made over the decades

Not that many. Probly round a dozen pot calls. I look at my collection as a slow grower. Looking at some acrylics and corrian pots now. Wanting something a little more moisture resistant after this spring.

Turkey calls, duck calls, shotguns and money all have the same thing in common...  You can never have too much....
