Title: Most satisfying and disappointing
Post by: Cutt on April 04, 2015, 08:27:53 PM
What Turkey gadget, call or related item you purchased were you most satisfied or disappointed with.

Most Satisfied- Hollarans Metal Mouth
Most Disappointed- Cotton Mouth Striker-thing sucks, deadens all calls

Most satisfied:  Several, but the Gobbler Lounger may lead the list.

Least satisfied:  I've bought some mouth calls that were just dogs.  Tossed several after a very short time.  Brands varied but they are definitely not all equal.

Most- quite a few, Indian Creek choke leads the list.

Least- Lohman Pump Action Yelper, it was like "choking the chicken" when you're a pent up teenager . . .

Best, can't tell you that yet.  But the worst so far is the Flextone tube yelper takes so much wind all you can get are staccato notes, and it sounds like a pheasant.   I'm going to try to take it back to gander mountain.

I too got suckered into buying one years ago. You were better off just coughing into your shoulder.

Best - Fast Fire sights

Worst - folding seat from HS, I don't know many turkey hunters that won't collapse it...

Best: It really is hard to beat a ThermaCell.  I hunt some seriously buggy places and ThermaCell just keeps 'em away.

Worst:  A MADD box call.  Thankfully, I don't remember the model name.  When it worked, that thing sounded like two pigs humping.  It broke me from ever buying one of their products again.

Most satisfied would be a toss up beyween , Longbeards, thermacell, and tactical tater ll.

Disappointing would be Walmart stretch fit gloves, and magblends.

The best was a MADD aluminum pot call I acquired from a $5 clearance sale.
The worst by far is the MADD silent dog whistler locator call. All it did for me was exhaust my lungs as a result of blowing into it. What a piece of garbage.

Worst : a turkey and mayo sandwich from the speedway gas-station on Osceola drive Orlando, FL -on the way to Alabama ..by the time I hit Dothan al. I knew I had made a serious mistake by trusting in gas station food like that


I puked so hard I felt like the little girl from the exorcist , then came the bowel movements.....sweet lord...keeper of heaven ....why thy furry ....what have I , a mear mortal soul hath done to deserve such earthly vengeance. ..../ what I did to the bathroom in that walmart gas-station in Troy , I will never forgive myself for .....man.....I probably killed the grass on the side of the road no less than 20 times with my fowlness - I swear at one time a crapped so hard sparks came out my azz

To this day whenever I pass a speedway gas station I cringe , it's like a bad flashback p.t.s.d or something like that post traumatic $hit syndrome
