Create an account (register) and you can bid now. Auction will last 2 weeks, I believe.

When will auction end?

Also, do you know a list of winners yet?  I saw some on the Facebook live video, but didn't hear them all

What about winners like the DD Adams award and individual class awards.

You can click on the link and it shows the winners, DD Adams is Kimmy Hanks, looks like the SS guys won some and Daral Gosey won also.

Man i just went through all the calls some amazing stuff! Never heard of Andy Cobb but that man is very talented! Daryal texted me pics of his winning calls, awesome. Josh Shoemaker had some awesome looking boxes!

Andy Cobb is a good friend and one of the most creative and talented call makers/woodworkers I know.  He has consistently produced the upper-most remarkable calls for many many years at the Grand Nationals winning just about every decorative and many hunting class awards possible.

Thank you.  Still some ongoing issues, but trying to work through them, thanks for asking.

Very tempted to bid on some of these.  I imagine some go very high.

Post by: fountain2 on August 02, 2021, 11:00:49 AM
If any of you hear and exact date/time auctions will end, please post them.  I see where it says the first week of august, but that's a broad spectrum and time will be important on trying to sneak in last second bids

^^^ appreciate that.  It hasn't been being on there.   Just as I had been looking for the award winners for the last few days, come on here to ask who won, then look back to the nwtf page and there they are.  Lol.

Have a question.
Two of the calls I won had second place finishes. They offer the Sliver medal and ribbon for them for $12 each for them if you want.
As far collecting goes would it be worth while to get the medals that go with them ?

What are your opinions on this ?

Title: Re: NWTF Competition Call Auction
Post by: 3bailey3 on August 19, 2021, 11:43:52 AM
The call i got was a second place call also, I didn't get the medal, I think it would really add to the value if it was a first place call, really not sure why i passed on the medal.

Post by: BigSlam51 on August 19, 2021, 12:05:07 PM
They use to give the medals to the buyers for free lol

I got mine yesterday. I got two emails when it shipped, one was a final receipt and the other was a shipping notification with the tracking info. If you have FB, Briana was also tagging everyone on there with their tracking number and status as she's shipping them out. She's been posting some videos of the process to get them all packed up and shipped out, it looks like a pretty daunting task. But they are taking their time to pack them well to ensure they arrive safely. From what I've seen her post, they are putting in long days to try to get them sent out.

I have Facebook and do not see anything at all on the NWTF facebook about anything being sent out.

Sorry to hop in with this question but it seems some of you would know the answer to the question, a friend of mine told me that Scott Witter won Best of Class I - Gibson Award, Call# 1073 I can't seem to find a picture of it. Anyone happen to have a link to it? I am just interested because he is from the town I was born and raised in. Thanks.
