[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5849554, member: 2805"] Yes. Actually I ran into him a few years ago on one of our WMAs. He was driving 3mph with his head out the window on the dirt road I was running down to the next spot I picked out to check on Google earth.... When we got side by side, he said 'you tracking?' I had no idea what he was talking about. We started talking turkey, and he explained after a rain, he drives the roads until he finds a fresh set of gobbler tracks, THEN jumps out of his truck and goes after him. (Hunt smarter, not harder). We spent almost 2 hours talking turnkey, then he asked me what cut call I liked... I told him I don't think it matters, and he just gave me 5 or 6 calls... 2 Reed, 3 Reed, etc. Used them all, killed a pile of turkeys, and when I burned them up over the next couple years, I called the number on his wrapper and told him I wanted a dozen more. He would have sent them to me for free, but I insisted on paying him this time, and I started sending him pics of really good birds I killed with his calls. Made him feel good. I still have 3 or 4 unused, and I suspect he hasn't raised his prices like most of the others doing it as a business. He makes calls not to make money... he makes calls because he loves turkey and needs something turkey to do between May 2 thru Mar 14th.tje following year. I hope he is still making them... I sent him this pic from a tom I killed in 2022 in TN with one of his calls and he put it on his FB page [/QUOTE]
