For me it's usually a connection to the person who either built it, or I acquired it from.

Sam hit it, I like the connections. If I play a call and the hair on the back of my neck stands up, that call will probably take a ride in my truck. If I talk to the maker and like the call, probably the same. These tools/keepsakes are for one purpose, give us memories. Killing the bird is just the end of a great memory. Z

Mostly what attracts me to a call is the wood and how it looks.

Quote from: Tail Feathers on February 01, 2026, 08:18:01 PMSome folks on here would have to hunt from the truck to have all their calls available on a hunt.   :TooFunny:
I'm not guilty of that, I could probably pull one of those big metal garden wagons and fit them in it.  :toothy12:   I am blessed to have an abundance of turkey calls.  Every year, I pick out three or four that sound excellent to me and use those.  They vary a bit from year to year, with a Pat Strawser slate making the grade every season.

A big truck ??  Or just a little truck ??
Whatever ya got.  An enclosed trailer
Could be useful.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Legendary call makers. The woods and the tradition. The history. Calling a bird with an instrument of war deep in the woods all alone. Any Indian can kill a deer but they send the  Chief to kill a turkey. Warpaint after the kill. Sat between Daddy's legs and shivered in the cold and watched him strut to 20 steps and an A5 rolled him. Wasn't 5 years old. Whole world was grey and grainy including us, except for the turkey. Second one I ever killed drummed so close I felt it in my boot soles, he was inside 3 steps. Its no flashlights and on a tree by 5:30, its doing it the old way. Its letting one walk you should have killed, and killing one you never deserved. Its a kid yelping on a break for fun and calling up a stud. Its all of it. Can't wait to get back in the swamp
"One can work for his gobbler by learning to communicate with him, or one can 'buy' his turkey with a decoy.  The choice is up to the 'hunter' " --William Yarbrough
