Cody Calls / Mossy Oak

[Yoder409]

One thing to remember is that it's just him and his wife.  Unfortunately she's battling cancer.   And Bill is 72 years old now. 

Yep.

That's why I refuse to be upset or angry.

Yes, But that's when you say "guys I'm retiring" because there are ultimately greater, more important things to attend to in life.

Let's see, 20,000 calls a year equals 55 calls a day. I would like to see any individual make 55 "custom-made" calls a day. 
If he/they were putting out that many calls at some point, they certainly would not be considered to be custom-made...and I doubt seriously the quality control for each call would be there.

...Then again, maybe he wears a blue cape and has a big red S on his chest...

He said that he doesn't consider himself a custom maker but an innovator

Whatever he considers himself to be, he has certainly made a name for himself, and his calls, based on the hype and praise he receives from just about everybody. I'm not surprised that a lot of folks are trying to get ahold of his calls.

If I had accomplished just a little of what Bill has accomplished in his designs and innovations with his pot calls along with inventing a machine to press lamination of the woods outer wall of a pot call with a wood sound board inside the pot when others were still putting slate in plastic pots, I would pump my chest and be a little arrogant myself in all my innovations.

For myself, I enjoy him sharing the history and knowledge with his innovations in designing a wood pot call.
I didn't get the feeling he was arrogant at all. IMO

Bill started out in a call market and time when it was hard just to make a living and support a family on selling calls in the 30 - 100 price range, so I take my hat off to him and his wife and I give them both a big round of applause. If it wasn't for people like Bill and others we would have the calls we have today. IMO

Agreed Greg. I respect what he has done, definitely a pioneer in the pot call arena. Cody pot calls no doubt helped me during my career in the turkey woods and for that I am grateful. I also respect the fact that when he was selling his calls lately, he did not take advantage of the exorbitant prices we are all seeing on EBAY.
