(http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae102/scoot122/DSCN4008_zps6c716d40.jpg) (http://s962.photobucket.com/user/scoot122/media/DSCN4008_zps6c716d40.jpg.html) Just wanted to show a pic of a new pot Jimmy sent to me to at least try out for the youth mentor hunt. Yesterday morning used it to call in 3 jakes but my 11 year wanted to pass so he let them walk. They gobbled all the way in. This call is a walnut pot with jatoba and maple laminates and crystal over a glass soundboard that is wrapped in vinyl copper. Out of all the pots I own it has one of the most urgent yelps and clucks I have ever heard. Anyway just wanted to say congrats to RebelYell for harvesting a great bird yesterday morning using this call he just got also. Scoot
I concur on the sound of the call Scoot!! Great sounding call and congrats to Jody on his longbeard!!
Nice looking call Scoot. Sounds like you guys had a great time.
scoot I'll have you know that after talking with you and then Jim that I have an identical twin call being sent out tomorrow by Mr Schaffer.. Can't wait to get my hands on it
I received my Mad Hen yesterday in the mail and killed this bird the first time I pulled it out of my vest. There are calls that sound better to me, but this call just has a certain sound they eat up. This is one bad azz call, just wish I had it the whole season. Jimmy is a super nice guy and I love this call, but the best part of the deal was this trough call below that he sent my son who has Autism. Jimmy makes a killer call and he is one hell of a guy. The purrs, clucks and tree yelps on this trough call sounded so good I ordered me one. It's a perfect call to start out with when his feet are still on the stick.

Better be pulling it before his turkey season opens.
How do you get ahold of him ?

I just ordered one. Very nice guy and his calls sound great. I also have his aluminum pot call and it is flat out nasty, especially if you are looking for a raspy call.
Jimmy is one of the best guys you will meet and his calls are top notch!
mines in the mail as we speak, he has a video of him running it in the woods on his facebook page for those interested.
It sounds like a nasty old raspy hen, the kind that always steals the gobbler away just as he's closing in.
I'm ususally one for a sweeter, cleaner sound but admit the sometimes you need that nasty chain smoking hen sound
I've got his Pissed Off Hen coming my way (pics below). He played both over the phone for me. Both sounded great but the Pissed Off Hen was a slightly higher pitched and less raspy than the Mad Hen.
If you are looking for a nice raspy call, try his aluminum. Hard to describe the sound but it sounds awesome, sort of a hollow/chamber sound that rolls over into a nice rasp. That description probably doesn't do it justice but it sounds great.
How do you post soundfiles? Can I do it from my android phone?
I know some guys here have expressed interest in Jimmy's newest call. It looks great, sounds awesome in the sound files but can it produce in the woods? I got this call for my wife, she wanted a call to commemorate our hunts together and for me to use when calling her bird this year.
She only had to hunt two days this year because the mad hen is a flat out killer. She tagged out on a pair of 22 and 20lb toms from the same field a few days apart.

Call claimed a 3rd victim on our annual Wounded Warrior hunt, I'd like to thank Rob for his 14yrs of service as an army paramedic and the 4 hard gobbling jakes that marched across a field and flew across a deep stream hammering the whole way to 20yds.

congrats Nate with the great gobs you called up using the mad hen. Scoot
The Mad Hen is all business in the woods. It probably wouldn't get a blue ribbon on the stage, but it is flat out nasty in the woods.
well ya'll talked me into one.

Rebel I need to get you a soundfile of mine, it does not seem as deep raspy as yours. As you said it does have a very urgent hen sound and its been the most well recieved call in the woods for me this year along with a SS box
A co-worker came back from the Nat'l Convention with 2 of Jimmy's trough calls. After hearing them, the sound never left my mind. Finally pulled the trigger and called Jimmy this past Friday afternoon. Well after Jimmy and I spent a lot of time turkey hunting and me listening to Jimmy on the trough as well as the Mad Hen over the phone.... I ended up with one of each.
Let me tell you they sound a heck of a lot better when you have them in your hand. The Mad Hen has an awesome raspy sound. And the trough has a little more younger hen sound, which will also be great while his feet are on the stick. Two of the best calls I have held.
The calls arrived at my house in IL yesterday (Monday). No clue how he got them here so quickly, I live in the sticks. Jimmy is a heck of a guy, will take the time to talk with you and was true to his word with me.
Came home from work today and the 6 year old and 9 year old had both of them out giving them all they could. This will make momma happy when I have to go and order each of the kids a set!!!
Jimmy thank you for your service and I wish you and all the other vets a great Memorial weekend!

Going to have to order one. The calls of Jimmy's I have are all fantastic.
old gobblers , purchased this call last weekend, I was at an archery shoot in New Jersey where I live selling my stickbowman hats. I heard Jim using this call, Im hunting turkeys 38 years , had to check it out, the sound was outstanding, the best I heard, Had to purchase one, this call is a killer, Ill bet on it, it is reasonably priced. If you are serious turkey hunter order one,,,,,,,,, rich tiberio eastern assassin ithaca/10
