Special Shout out to Mike Yingling

[Palmetto Pirate]

My 8 year old Grandson took his first turkey today during the Florida youth hunt weekend. It was a nice 8 3/4 inch Osceola. I was using Mike's Purple Slate on black cherry pot. After the hint I dated the call and gave it to my Grandson he was ecstatic! I texted Mike told him about the hunt and ask the the next Purple slate he made I wanted him to sell it to me. Mike wouldn't let me pay for the call. With all the bad we see and hear anymore it sometimes is hard to see all the good there is in people. Mike makes a damn fine call but he's a better man than his calls and that's a tall feat. Thanks Mike!

Mike's calls are awesome. I have a copper from him, a crow call, and a grunt tube. They are all fantastic!

And, obviously, Mike is awesome.

Nice gesture by Mike, he's given calls away on this forum too.

Congratulations, You have added a new member to the legion.  That was a gift from you to your grandson and from Mike to you.  I don't have any of Mike's calls but that is the kind of guy with whom I want to do business.

Big congrats to your grandson, and a tip of the hat to Mr. Yingling.   The turkey hunting fraternity has its share of jerks, but it also has its share good ole boys.   Well done by all, and may the turkey Gods continue to shine on y'all.
