I don't believe this for one second.  I know you know the names of those trumpet makers, you're just holding out on us

My brother went and I told him to grab me a pot that sounded good in the $50 range. He got me a pistol creek pot call called the Genesis. It's aluminum over slate in a Wenge wood pot. I've never heard of them before but it sounds pretty sweet. He picked up a Halloran maccasar ebony/Black limba box. I'm a little jealous!

I picked up a Walnut Green Slate by Mark Cornelius and let me tell you it's smokin'! He won 1st in slate with it at NWTF grand nationals and several other state contests so far this year. He told me he was 1 pt from winning the DD Adams call Maker of the Year award.  It sounds better than all my other slates for sure, and I've got some high end ones.

I didn't see his booth. I've always wanted to play his calls. I'm also upset Lon was apparently at another companies booth. Wish I had known that too. I was limited on time so I bypassed alot. Oh well, next year.

He didn't have a booth, as many other custom call makers don't. They just show up and bring a bag of calls usually. You just have to get their contact info and meet up with them there

Picked up hallorans new green slate and his hickory one piece striker

BottomLand54

how yall like that holloran green slate? thought about getting one

RiverRoost

Only ran if for a few seconds but it sounds great. May sound a little more "crystal-y" but I like the sound of crystal. Haven't had a chance to try out all my strikers on it but I can tell you it's going to take the place of davids last years wenge and walnut slate.

I love mine too. Alot of people didn't like it because it's very clean for a slate, sound wise. But I like it. I asked david why he quit making it and he said the wood was hard to make pots out of and he had alot of tear out issues. I think it may become a coveted call over time since he didn't make it for too long and it's awesome. A uniquely clean sounding slate that handles like a slate and sounds a little different than every other slate the turkeys have heard.

No pics. but heres what I bought.

An alps super elite 4.0 to replace my old bottomland super elite 3 russel

6 gooserbat diaphragms. 3 of the new big gobbler specials, and 3 of the new bat wings, don't remember the name. the new blue latex black tape calls hes got.

a david Halloran walnut over butter nut box. sounds very nice. he signed it for me and we talked for a minute. I have a big mustache and he kinda looked at me crazy like most people do....oh well, nice guy.

a steve turpin cocobolo trumpet....I have yet to be able to use it, been screwing around with it for a week now. it is pretty no doubt...however it may have not been the best trumpet to start on..ive heard turpin trumpets can be difficult to play

I could have bought a ton of stuff...but me and a buddy of mine make box calls already, and I kind of make it point to try to use them as much as possible during the season.

I'm just glad I didn't see lonzo or corneilous there. My wife wouldn't have been happy with my spending. I kept it under 200 (by a little) so I felt I did good.
