Title: Paul Hicks Jr.
Post by: SoIncallcollector on February 07, 2019, 08:45:21 PM
Most already know how great of a callmaker he is. I'm late to the party, but man if they all sound as good as this one (and I'm sure they do) I'm gonna go broke fast. This thing is smoking!!! Could not be more impressed with the sound and quality of it!  Going straight to the vest. Cedar Red Slate. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190208/ba7472fd1ebc814ed6dea13f4f2daf3d.jpg)

Paul is certainly a rising star for pot calls. Add Nathan Taylor and Larry Halford and I predict these guys will be winning a lot of contests.

Did not realize who you were talking about til I saw the post further down. He is on my list to get from before the 2020 season, I am pretty much all done this year.

Collector my red cedar/red slate from Paul is in the mail and should be here tomorrow.  I saw and heard the audio last week and put my order in.  Can't wait to get my hands on it.  I'll post a review when it arrives.

Yes he is a super good guy. That dustin jones green slate I got from you and Paul's red slate have quickly became my two fav pot calls. Really glad I got that one from you. I like it so much I almost bought another one that lou had for sale the other night lol. I've got to get my posts up so I can start trading because my pocket book is hurting right now lol.

Paul is an excellent call maker. I own an Osage glass over slate and an Osage aluminum over glass. I have a Walnut green slate ordered. The Osage glass was the demise of several gobblers last season. His calls excel in the most important area: they sound like turkeys!!!

Well that gets me fired up. I've got an osage in the works with him now. I told him to put whatever surface and sound board he thought sounds best. I'm pretty excited to see what he comes up with. I've heard that walnut green slate of his is a killer. I couldn't be more impressed with this red slate.

@ golfernash "His calls excel in the most important area: they sound like turkeys!!!"

His calls are top notch quality and look great, but it's got to sound like a turkey for me to even care about it and you are right it's all turkey!!!

I bet that stoned aluminum sounds sweet!!! I've never seen osage like that. I might have to get ahold of paul about one of those!   
Looks like that gobbler recommends the osage glass as well haha!
