Paul Platz?

[Wvgobbler]

Just was wondering if he has ever won the DD Adams award? Just so much demand for his calls. I own three of his pots and they are great calls. Pure turkey and sound really good but I honestly like most of my Lonzo's better. I know I'm going to get bashed and tick a lot of people off by saying that. But before you put a bad reply on this I'm not saying anything bad about his calls cause they are great. I just like Lonzo's better.

He has never won the DD adams award, he has come close but never won it.

Supply and demand has what has driven the price, he is not taking orders and everyone wants what they cant get.

I get what you're saying and everyone has different opinions on everything and that's good.  But I will say this.....awards mean absolutely nothing as far as calling turkeys or as far as personal or monetary value.  Supply and demand is what drives the prices, coupled with internet and social media hype.  Some great callmakers are often overlooked while everyone gets in line for someone who is more "popular".  (And no I'm not talking about Paul or anyone in particular).  It's the world we live in.  There's only so much turkey you can get from a call and the rest is up to you.  Some guys use a callmakers' name as a crutch to make them feel superior when they are in the woods.  It's the Yeti mentality. 
In this world we live in "hold onto the handrail until the ride comes to a complete stop".

You can have a Walmart markdown and call in 100 times the amount a $400 call will call birds in .....

Lon Trice is the man! Lol......Paul makes good stuff also. Just wish he would fire on all cylinders and make some calls. He will get his medal one day. A lot of people are fed up with the NWTF and their shenanigans. So medals really mean nothing other than a group of guys (THAT could have already picked a winner before running all the calls...very likely) thinks one calls is a bit better than the rest. JMO.

I'm not taking it personal.  I'm agreeing with your statement.   Seems like you're the one that took it personal.  SMH

[Adirondacks89]

So you both agree yet are upset with one another for some reason lmao. Anyway, I couldn't justify spending 300 or more on a turkey call. I just dropped 125 on a SD box and that made me sick.

It's about keeping up with the joneses. Gotta be about to tell everyone you own some corder or platz calls even though you won't kill any more turkeys.

Lon makes a killer call. I think we're all pretty lucky that he turns enough out that they are readily available at a decent price point.
