Do they do it there every year? Only and hour from me but can't make it this year as I have no wheels yet but will next year. Edit: I asked on their Facebroke page and this is the reply. "... This is year # 2 and hope to follow for many years. Next year's date is the weekend before Labor Day weekend........See you then! Pete"
Sounds good!
So it's Friday 2pm, I'm supposed to be just an hour away for the weekend later that day might have to take a sick day and pull the family up early. Plus sell a kidney first

I can never seem to find anybody willing to buy mine either.
Wish that I'd have known about it sooner.
Is this similar to Unicoi where the call makers display calls for sale?

Having not been to Unicoi I can not compare the two. I was at turkey trot last year and yes there are call makers with calls on display and for sale. It is a very laid back atmosphere with a bunch of good guys talking turkeys and playing some of the finest calls around.

The people I talked to that went last year all had a good time
the outside calling contest looks interesting

Turkey Trot is much smaller and in a camp/woods atmosphere. It's more like a picnic/party/get together with a whole lot of turkey hunting/ callmaking knowledge. The NWTF involvement is on Saturday when they have their fund raising picnic their.
BTW, it was very nice meeting you there Eric.
some very big callmakers on that list. a 5 hour drive for me,,
Sounds like a great time.
I can't wait to meet and hang out with everyone there. Looks like it's going to be a great time!!

Couldn't agree more. We'll have to catch up in a couple weeks.

I will be there Friday and I cannot wait! I'd like to stay Saturday too, but it's the wife's birthday. At least she gave me the green light for Friday.
REALLY looking forward to meeting Marlin and picking up a special fiddlebox he has set aside for me. It will be like Christmas Day!
If anyone is thinking about going you better get tickets ASAP. Saturday is sold out, and they want to limit it to 100-125 admission tickets for Friday, and they are at or near 100 sold. I wouldn't count on driving over and getting your ticket at the door, you maybe disappointed.
Should be a great time!
