I've turkey hunted for as long as I can remember but just recently started purchasing custom calls. I've always used production calls in the past. Now that I'm a few calls in, I can see what I have been missing out on. Here are the calls that I have acquired thus far. From left to right...Halloran crystal mistress, next four are from Buster, next three are sneeds, last one is a stumpy. Two JLH strikers in frogwood & bulletwood and a Halloran striker in ipe. I have a mike lapp push-pin on the way as well but that's it for now. I'd like to eventually add a cody slate and a few box calls. The addiction is real. Let's see your collection...
Well, you sure learned how to pick some good ones. Nice line up.
I'm not as familiar with custom friction as custom boxes. But, I know I'm looking at some REALLY good stuff there. VERY NICE !!!!!
:icon_thumright:
That's a nice bunch of calls. I had a picture of most of mine and accidentally deleted it.

Recent bronzed glass over glass in a stabilized maple pot from Mike Yingling. I'd add more but adding pics on Tapatalk can be a bit aggravating.

I was fortunate enough to be able to go through the "leftovers" from Jim's shop after he passed. Looking back, I wish I had bought every box that was left there.
