My name is Norman Sisson and my wife and I live in the quiet town of St. Paul, MN. Yeah, THAT St. Paul. I am retired now and I am able to pursue a passion of mine, making art. I have won the NWTF Custom Call Making Competition twice in the wingbone yelper division.

I started hunting turkeys in 1974 in Mississippi while at college. My roommates and I read everything that we could lay our hands on about turkeys and 2 years later we all shot our first turkeys in the same season. I hunted them on and off for several years and finally got serious about chasing them in about 1990. I shoot a custom camouflaged Remington Youth model 870 20 gauge and shoot TSS shells. Since I stated hunting turkeys in Minnesota, I have found them to be rather naive and easy to call. I guess that hunting the hardest birds in the nation have had a positive effect on honing my turkey killing skills.

My name is AL Baker.I am 59 years old. I was a welder apprentice through master, a welding instructor, a supervisor now a manager. I am married with 3 adult children. I started turkey hunting in 2001, at least 20 years too late. My wife, Mrs Z , started hunting with me in 2017 and is blessed to have an on call turkey guide service at her command.I shoot a Benelli SBE3 28 gauge and a Browning Silver 12/3.5 as a backup. TSS in the 28, lead in the 12. I am a basic human being, maybe even a little old school. I love to help kids and veterans. I make pot calls and am working, not diligently, on a mini/smaller box call design. Not ready for public use yet, lol. Z
