There are so many great callmakers, that I would never have known even existed, if it werent for this here forum.

If I kept track of the money I spend on turkey calls,guns, and my book collection it would scare me into quitting so that's why I dont.. :icon_thumright:....

I really do like the Frictionwood call from Eric Crouse, they play real easy.

The wife came up from my basement man cave one night with this look on her face and said"I took inventory for you and came up with 50 round ones."  I said thank you and under my breath I said and I  am glad you did not count the one  in the drawers down there.  Easier to get forgiveness than permission !!!

Maybe just one more. Then I'll quit for sure!!

Went through that exact thought process this past March, and again just last week.

The March experience netted me a new Permar .45 in ironwood. Last week's that thought process resulted in a Marlin Watkins box coming to the mailbox.

Once that new box arrives, then I'll stop... :toothy9:

I'll spend $200-$300 per year on other makers calls.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Should be at least some kind of rehab for this this. I'm pretty sure my health insurance don't cover this kind of illness.

You think this is bad, pick up traditional archery.

Modern archery is bad enough, I can't even begin to imagine traditional.

This is worse than salmon fishing. I got on this forum looking for 1 or two pots and 1 box call - now I have 4 pot calls, a half dozen strikers and waiting on wood to dry to order a second box. My only barrier at this point is I need a new order of dry flies and only have one bird and 13 days left in the season - no point ordering more stuff now, right? Right?

Reading this thread sounds like attending a support group meeting and I thought I was the only one with a problem. The only vice worse is spey casting for steelhead.
