Title: How many calls to be considered a collector?
Post by: Harty on January 28, 2019, 10:42:06 AM
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 ????

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

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!!
