I hate to hear that about Knight and Hale. I seen Harold Knight at the convention but did not get a chance to talk with him. I did get to meet Walter Parrot. He is a super nice guy. Trey it is cool you got to hunt with Walter. What kind of box caller did he use?

were they any good

Walter did not call like a competition caller while hunting.  He did not call aggressively for the most part... a lot of 3 note yelps and clucks. He actually preferred using a box call over mouth calls while he was hunting with us.  Was very patient, hunted hard and always found a way to be in birds.  Passed up two mature turkeys early in the hunt because he did not have good video.  In my opinion, that is what makes him good...it's not whether you can call and impress your buddies, but do you kill birds.  Fortunately for Walter - he can do both. 

The production of the show was impressive.  With the camera in front it eliminates almost 40% of your kill zone, so that you don't risk injury to the camera man.  Walter had not met either camera man before they arrived in camp - all three were very professional and work well together.  The final product was very similar to what all the videos are like now.
