Title: Karma Call Beginnings!
Post by: guesswho on February 16, 2018, 10:21:19 AM
After reading that sevetts recently had surgery and is layed up, I thought he might enjoy this.  Here's a brief story on a call more expensive than the $200 Cody call I heard about.   It started with me taking an extreme over the left shoulder and back shot.  The result was a dead turkey, broke nose and stitches.  Me not being the shy type shared the photos with some of my "friends" ;D  Well I tool a lot of flack for that little incident.  And the next thing I know the mailman brings me a customized call.  Here is the beginning of the Karma series.

As soon as I saw what it was I knew what I had to do.  So I rounded up some pictures of the friends who chipped in on it along with some turkey feathers, some gobbler bones and my fan-net.  Then I headed down to the bayou, built a fire, got naked, danced around and conjured up a curse for each of my friends.  And please, no requests for the pictures of me dancing naked in the bayou wearing only my fan-net.  I also warned them of what I had done.  The next several months was very entertaining, at least for me.  Here they are in order of membership entry into the Karma call series.  Each of them are now proud owners of a Karma call.  Some of you may recognize a couple of them.

Followed closely by Tom:

Followed by anonymous, because he's a little embarrassed by shooting himself in the foot I won't reveal his real name.  After this incident I went back to the bayou and called of the curse, it was getting stronger and I was afraid what might happen next, and after all I had proven my point.

These calls cost a lot more than the $200 Cody.  So, anybody want to come hunt with me?  Gobblenut? :TooFunny:

Another great post  ;D


Is it possible to get a sound file before committing to going hunting?

That's funny stuff. I think a football helmet and metatarsal boots would be standard equipment hunting with you. Instead of what's in your vest threads it would be what personal protective gear do you wear.

An athletic cup is a good option.

I called it off after someone shot themselves in the foot, with tss of all things.  By the way, do you know before that foot incident someone on the curse list fell out of a tree stand and was seriously injured, broke back, ribs, punctured lung etc.  They're ok now but it could have really ended bad.  I was afraid the next incident might result in someone being seriously killed or even worse, permanent death.

Steve's been cursed twice.  Ask him about Chief Gobbling Turkeys rock! :TooFunny:

Actually yes, I keep in touch with Ryan regularly since the old days, and was aware of that. I'm glad he's OK, definitely could have been game over.
I'll have to ask Steve about that next time I talk to him.  :lol:

I don't think you forgot anyone, this particular call wasn't in your original post. 
Members of "The Order" are "perturbed" that you would forget such a thing. :TrainWreck1:

You may be summoned to a meeting of the Elders for a "talk". :deadhorse:





Come on man, you know the internet never forgets anything! :TooFunny:

Not Baxter!
I have a pic or two with him from his travels to OK. :you_rock:

You see who made the call...you'd have to ask him who this one was for.  Maybe it was in memorium?  Or could it have been a special toleo edition?
I actually don't know.

Post by: RutnNStrutn on February 17, 2018, 07:29:48 PM
Ronnie, could that have been Steve's call? He isn't on the back of the call, so perhaps it's him? ???
You, Jeff and Dave are on the back of that call. So that's gotta be Steve's. Do you recall what year he busted his head? :z-dizzy: :lol: ;D

Post by: guesswho on February 17, 2018, 07:41:26 PM
I didn't think it was Steve's because his picture is in the first post.   But 2012 would be close in the timeframe, then shortly after that was Tom.   

Tailfeathers could just take a picture of the other side.

I don't have the call.  The other pic that came with the one I posted was the same poor fella third down in the original post.  They guy with the goatee and blood running down to the tip of his nose.  I don't know him personally.

You ain't missing much :TooFunny:   Nah, he's good people.  That's Steve aka Ohioturkeyhunter.   

That was a funny hunt.   I killed one early and he was still hunting.   I had mine hanging in a tree by the car and was cleaning it.   Every time I'd rip feathers out a turkey would gobble 150 yards from the car.  I texted Steve and he came to the car.  By then it had quit gobbling.   We went to the store and got a drink and something to snack on and went back.  When we got back the bird gobble before we got out of the car.  After he killed it I took that picture, and it was coast to coast in less than 30 seconds :TooFunny:
