Hey guys, with the advent of the Inter-webs & video "conferencing" deals like Skype, I wanted to throw out an offer to "evaluate" your calling via Skype, if any of you are interested in doing that.
Just let me know; I know one of the FIRST two questions I had were, how do I setup on a bird & how do I call to him?
I'd love to help you refine your calling, listen to your calling, etc. & give you some helpful tips/tricks that I've learned over the years... Send me a PM & I'll schedule this with you over the next few weeks, if you'd think that'd be helpful to ya.
Take care,
BGD (aka Mark)
This is GREAT idea! I may take you up on this but I have an avid turkey hunter at work who said he would check out my calling skills.
I do think everyone on our team should consider this if they do not have someone to help them in person.

10-4; you guys just let me know... I'm not saying I'm an "expert" but I believe I can help most noob's get proficient enough to kill a bird w/their calling.
AGAIN, if you're interested in this, just PM me thru OG & we'll setup a time to check it out...
Hey guys, BTW, I just got an iPhone (I know, I know, I'm slow, alright?!?!! ;) and I've got Skype & this thing called WhatsApp that lets me do video chats... So, offer still open; if you don't have anyone to listen to your calling & TELL YOU that you sound like a turkey, give me a holler thru PM & we'll setup a time to check your calling out.
AGAIN I'm not a pro-level caller, don't compete @ NWTF regionals, etc. - but I've managed to deck a few birds & can tell you a good turkey call vs. one you need to work on a bit more...
Hey guys, I held my first Skype turkey calling session last night & it worked pretty darn well... You can reach me via Facebook, "Bama GuitarDude", which is also my Skype account name... I did both audio & video last night with a guy in Florida, and although it was jittery at times, it worked MUCH better than I had expected it would...
Pretty cool; again, this offer is still on the table... Once season begins here on March 14th, I probably won't have much time to do this, so ... Get it while it's hot! It was really cool (and gratifying) -- this guy found me through my YouTube videos/tutorials... Neat to see that -- at least 1 person -- is watching! :) I know that guy's gonna kill some birds, he's got the fire in the belly; really cool to "virtually mentor" folks...

'bout what?
When I read this thread I got a visual of you sitting in front of a computer with an apple and a ruler in front of you screaming "No your cadence is off!!!!!!!" and angrily scribbling D - and circling it with a red marker.
Just thought it was funny. ;D

HAHA!! Nah, man, it's nothing like that; we just mostly talked about strategies, calling techniques, etc... I'm a pretty easy-going, encouraging teacher, bro! :)

OH YA!! haha; I honestly did NOT know how well this would work out, but ... surprisingly, it worked out great!! My connection & his connection was a little "glitchy" but it worked...
205 views & nobody's hit me up via PM... Wow, you guys must REALLY know how to rock your calls... That being the case, I have HIGH HOPES for our team winning this competition...
Awesome! :wave: It's either that, *OR* we've got other teams/OG members snoopin' in on our action over here on Team Noob... hhmmmm.... Wonder if we've got some of 'em worried... hhhmmm...
