Title: First custom call
Post by: Wisgobbler on June 07, 2019, 06:52:56 PM
I've been chasing turkeys for around 30 years. In all of those years I've never owned a custom call. Those days are over. My wife asked what I'd like for Father's Day. I love locating/roosting turkeys so I said I'd like a nice owl call. So.... I contacted James Harrison and he is building me my first hootin stick.
I chose olive wood and I am absolutely stoked!!!!!

Bless your heart, I was in about the same boat. I bought 4 trumpets this spring and have a Fulkerson hen box coming. I also have reservations for Unicoi, the bug bites hard.

Yeah only about 3 short years ago I started buying custom. Wish I could have started 20 years ago and stockpiled all these hard to get calls. I truly enjoy getting new calls to play

You should get him to make you a matching crow caller to go with it. You will be happy with the Hooter.

I've been thinking the same.
