[QUOTE="REN, post: 5849220, member: 4849"] It really does blow my mind when you take a look at the changes in prices for turkey calls over the past 10 years especially the mouth call area. For pot calls I get it, wood costs are up and material costs are up and the custom type calls take time and money to produce. Mouth calls however just piss me off when I see them for $17 -$20 for something that costs about $1 to produce material wise. It makes me even more frustrated in this area because they are all so different and unique to the user trying to use them. I remember the days I would go to walmart and grab a few to try out and see If I liked them for $3-$5 a piece. If I didnt then I wasnt really out a ton of money in the process. It has pushed me more and more to just buy a jig and make my own so I dont have to fool with it every year, 100% this is what Ill be doing if not this year then next year for sure. Thankfully the ones I use I just buy the same 3 each year that are my go to ones so I dont have to waste money on trying new ones to just throw away. However trying new calls is part of the fun for turkey hunting to me, but dropping $30 on 2 mouth calls that turn out to be duds for me is just not something I want to do. Add to that folks like woodhaven market 3000 different ones on top of it :( anyways off my soap box. How anyone can charge $20 for a mouth call with a straight face should be ashamed of themselves [/QUOTE]
