It will be crowded but not like when it used to be Fr, Sa and Sunday.  As a matter of fact we aren't going down on Thursday this year.

It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.

This year being the 50th it will be crowded everyday...

So, I missed unicoi this year because of work. I've been to NWTF about 5 years ago and haven't been since. Does the convention still draw alot of custom makers or is it mainly big name stuff these days?

There are a lot of custom call makers, you just have to wade through a huge crowd and a bunch of stuff you aren't interested in.

Most importantly, though, you can pick yourself up a HECS suit and be invisible to the turkeys! I haven't tried to hide from a turkey in years...I just walk right up to em in my hecs suit....

Thursday is the day if you want to catch the cream of the crop from the custom makers.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Good deal. Maybe I should just save my money on calls and put it toward HECS. If I can just walk up to em then I shouldn't have to call to em.
Then I can go book a moose hunt in Alaska while I'm there.

Yep.  It's, really, always been that way.

HECS pays for itself.  No more money spent on guns or ammo, just walk up and stab 'em.
