This months mail

Got a few nice calls in, I was a pretty good boy and did not spend a lot this month, putting it all in the gas tank to go hunting.

I got Mr. Morgan's book America, Wild Turkeys & Mongrel Dogs: Life Lessons From a Hunting Master last month and picked up his other book Turkey Hunting: A One Man Game this month, looking forward to reading both.

Through Call Cedar and Green Slate made by Higher Calling Custom Turkey Calls by Nathan Taylor A little story about Nathan, I met him last August at the Northeast Call Makers Summit and he was selling these calls and others, I walked up to him and told him I did not have the money to get the call but I would like to know how you play them as I had never seen one before. A lot of times when I have told people that I did not have the money but I was interested in something they would either blow me off or tell me to come back when I had the money, Nathan did not do that, he took the time to talk with me and show me a couple of ways to run the call and was very friendly about it the entire time. That is why I chose to buy my first trough call from him, I liked him and liked the way he treated a customer that he knew was not going to buy from him at that time. He got my respect. I really like the call by the way, very easy to play.

I am after a call from one more maker before August if I can, hoping it works out and he works with the woods I would like.


Forgot about this Mac cherry pot with glass striking surface over slate soundboard.

Thanks, hoping to take the Fetters out for the first time in the morning, slight chance or rain but I will keep it protected.

Thank you. You know I always feel so bad because my meds to not allow me to remember most of your names and you guys all remember mine.

Not a single one this year, not even a definite gobble this year, has been a very odd year. I heard some definite hen talk this morning, that is the first definite turkey talk I have heard all year.

That book in hardcover is on my list next. I still need to recover from my recent purchases ....

Nice stuff you got there. Hope you get to use it on a gobbler before season goes out. Good luck
