Briana Alley and her husband run the call auction and she is on Facebook and if you message her she can answer any question about the NWTF Auction ... She is a fine lady and willing to help anyone ... She volunteers a lot of time to the NWTF...  Briana's husband is the one who designed the Software that was used for the NWTF ...

When they use to do the silent auction at Nationals they sold in sections(lots). Everyone had a chance to bid before it was closed. I'm sure they are replicating the process with the online auction.

Despite my complaints, pleased to be able to purchase a slew of calls from gifted call-makers. I enjoy the heck out of being able to run several high end calls side by side to find my hen.

Just paid my hefty bill.

Rouse & Mero trumps, among others-all to satisfy my addiction. One Jones trumpet was not a looker IMO, but screamed turkey. No award winners in the judges eyes, but all are straight Winners in my book.
Shoot'em in the Face!

I was able to get the Rutland and mahoe 2nd place box from Val Espinoza.

If that's the green box he had there I'll trade you two calls for the one

They took the fun away for me when they did away with the in person auction! I spent plenty of money then but now if I win one ok if not so what. To many things can happen with online auctions, people and organizations can drive up prices and no one knows what's going on, at least in person no flim flaming. In my opinion just the direction they are heading. They can say what they want but since 2004 the calls have dwindled down and when you see the call tables and there is more duck calls than turkey calls that should tell you something. Since they shafted Karen Cavender and others it has become what it is now! I just realized that Kevin must be Brianna's husband.

I agree. The old silent auction was the best! The only categories that had good numbers of entries are trumpets, wingbones, and pot calls.

Moving the location this year didn't set well with a lot of call builders either ....
