Title: Let's see your collection
Post by: roosterstraw on February 16, 2022, 01:06:42 PM
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...

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 !!!!!

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.
