I guess I got lucky, my wife never complains about me calling in the house, same room doesn't matter, she is a gem. She does go hunting with me too, doesn't care to shoot one, but loves to get out there with me which is cool.

Married to complainer and fathered another.

Takes about 3 notes before I hear the yelling, I just ignore them for the most part.

But, my wife and daughter have never said a word about me hunting, and I am gone a lot in the spring and a whole lot in the fall.

Luckily, I work solo about 70% of the time in a plant control room, so I have ample time to practice. I actually leave some calls at work all the time to practice with. Plus, we have a very big population of turkeys here at work and I can go out in the mornings and get harass them

It's live the tree philosophy, if no one is around to hear me call, then am I making any noise.

I never get tired of watching that,
He is one of the good guys
Thanks for the video, he's one of the guys who knew and learned from Neil Cost, and the names that roll off his lips.... Tips and technique, I can't learn enough to call in Toms, the older I get the more I realize you learn something new everyday.  And by the way my caiiin no matter how good drives my Becky up the wall.   :turkey:
We wait all year,why not enjoy the longbeard coming in hunting for a hen, let 'em' in close !!!

A couple years ago I paid a visit to Ralph Snodgrass and made this video.  He makes a great call and is one of the few old school turkey hunters left in the sport. 


Thanks for posting this, it will be of great help to me.

Ralph is one of the best teachers and best paddle call makers out there!!! He is a turkey killing machine. I enjoyed visiting him a few years back and would like to pay him another visit but I need to have lots of cash in hand. LOL!

ferocious calls

My wife has not said a word about calling in the house since I came home from the first show and handed her the loot. She asked " what's this for"? I returned " that's from all that calling you've been complaining about.

Funny how she had such sensitive ears before that day.

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

Thanks for sharing this video.  Ralph is the real deal for sure.  You don't make over 600 calls without learning a few tricks along the way.

I am already getting much better sound because of this video.

It takes about 8 tenths of one second of me playing a turkey call to piss my wife off.  She likens it to fingers on a blackboard.  She doesn't complain about having fresh turkey meat in the house though.

You have to practice somewhere!! Do you work in a power plant?

Couldn't agree more. Snozz is one of the old school turkey hunters who learned the box call craft from Mr. Cost. I sure appreciate the times I've shared with him chasing birds over the years. Just a super guy who taught me a lot about hunting turkeys. Here is my favorite long box ever - a Snozz special in every way with a maple lid sitting pretty on a sweet talking piece of persimmon. I've had this probably 15+ years (number 388 on his long list), and it just gets better each season as it ages. Crazy how that happened.

Thanks to 1tioga for capturing Ralph in action!

A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409
