....the highly regarded south Texas call maker who is now gone (his name escapes me).

Noel Gonzales

Yes!  Met him at a calling contest in Bass Pro.  He was complimentary of my calling and had some beautiful boxes for sale.  We talked a while but I had no idea who he was.  I was new to turkey hunting and he seemed very knowledgeable.  Super nice guy and his work was outstanding.

3 Items..  One was a Browning Stalker Synthetic stock 10 gauge... The Reason I sold the gun, it was like carrying a ball and chain while spring turkey hunting... LOL.

I wished now that I had kept it... It really was a nice shotgun...

I do still have some of the old Federal 4 / 6 that look at from time to time to remind me of my love hate relationship with that mule kicker / heavy weight shotgun...

The other gun I regarded selling was a Mossberg 835 - 3 1/2 inch short barrel gun... I had a love hate relationship with it also, it was a mule kicker also... I do have some of the old Federal 3 1/2 inch shells left from that gun... lol

The last one was the first real turkey vest I bought, it was a Lynch and I sold it to a guy for 20 dollars, NOW I really do wish I had it back.. It was a shoulder strap type vest with 2 box call pockets ...

Man I thought I was the only one crazy enough to shoot a mossy 835 with 3 1/2" Federals. Still have mine and it used to beat me up pretty bad at times. Now I'm shooting a Mossberg 20ga. and loving it. I think about using the 12 then I ask myself why. Still have that Lynch vest which was my first. It's a little beat up but it serves as my scouting vest sometimes.

I still have a Mossberg 3.5" 12 gauge.  I used to think it was the years of playing baseball & tennis that messed up my shoulder, but every spring I'm reminded "nope, it's this brute of a gun."  But that pain never feels better than it does each spring!
I've given away an HS Strut Wood Witch and Cody Woodsman and several other pot calls to kids/friends getting into turkey hunting.  At the time, they weren't worth NEAR what they are now.  Still wouldn't change a thing.  Passing it on...

Bob Dixon best I sold for 85.00. I bought 4 at a sporting goods store at the end of the season on a sale rack. I gave one to my brother, kept 2, and sold 1 to a friend for what I paid.

I did not even realize what I was buying I just thought it was an awesome vest. Still is my favorite vest of all time.

had an outstanding Russel Beard Trash mouth Hen scratch box i gave to a friend,
Replaced it with another but the first one was better. It was also better than any other scratch box I've had or tried.

1)  My uncle had an old 45rpm by M.L. Lynch, I don't know how I let that get thrown away in some of my aunt and granny's clean out days.

2) Bought my first turkey call at 10 - 1975.  Old Lynch two sider --- let my uncle borrow it one day in the 90's, he accidently sat back on it in his turkey vest - pop goes the weasel.

3)  I wish I still had my Drury's Turkey Whistle, just to show these youngsters what a real "turkey locater" looks like.

Same....only a Mossberg 835.

Clunkiest piece of plastic scrap I ever owned.  Felt like a 4x4 deckpost in my hands.

The GOOD news was....  I turned it over in under a week for a nice profit.
