I am gradually expanding my pot call collection(it's been difficult to keep under control). How many do I need to be considered a collector? How many do you guys have and how many different maker?
Thanks in advance for replys
Are you referring to the ones the wife knows about or all the ones that she does not know about ????
It's a sickness. Live with it and be happy
if you are buying calls that you don't intend hunting with but rather for displaying or other then, you are a collector. Number don't matter
With me, it's box calls. But I refer to myself as an "accumulator".................. :D

I have agree with this...
When you buy one and its not even to your mailbox and your already thinking about the next one you want to buy. Also when your trying to beat your wife to the mailbox.. :help:

OK, by the above definition I guess I am officially a collector!,
one good one..
I have mine sent to the office so I do not have to beat the wife to the mail box.
I think once you start buying calls "just cuz" you can
You are collecting them

I know I got bit big time by the bug when I discovered the site. I would have a lot more if I had more money than I do but I do cosider myself a collector. I think I have about 20 or 30 maybe more calls, strikers are a whole other thing, man I love strikers for some reason, you can take a great call with the striker it came with and completely change it's sound and personality with a different kinds of strikers. My big thing I want right now is a Billy Buice trumpet, It won't happen this year but it is going to be my CHRISTmas/birthday gift to myself in January 2020 I want one made for me, not one made for somebody else, for some reason in my demented little excuse for a brain that seems to feel like it makes it a little bit more special.
Too many calls is when you are rooting around and say, " hmmm I forgot I had that one!" I consider them an investment or inheritance for my girls. Well it's what I tell the wife!!
