Almost 2016 and spring means turkeys. This place has been quiet, instead of the "What's your favorite call?" posts, how bout what calls are you hoping to get before season?
For me its a Platz cherry aluminum and a walnut glass hopefully done soon. May try n get a Lonzo Aluminum as well but that hasn't been ordered yet, oh yea n a Sharpe wingbone is also on the list of calls to order.
How bout you guys?
I have a Brad Roberts Ceramic/Glass in a Walnut Pot that he is shipping to me this week. I just ordered a John Sinclair Titanium in an Ebony Pot that should be here in 3 weeks or so. I want to get a crystal surfaced call from Jimmy Shaefer but nothing has been ordered and Im not sure what kind of Crystal to get from him. I also am looking for a good quality slate as well.
Out of the crystals I have from Jim I still like my mad hen 2 the best

Whats the difference between the mad hen and the mad hen 2 ?
In a few weeks I should have my ambrosia maple bronze glass pot call and a redheart/holly scratchbox from the guys at SS and hopefully a Mac Calls glass before the spring season starts.

Hole in center is plugged in mad hen 2. Both great calls, I like the mh2, my buddy seems to love the mad hen 1 n he's killed a buncha birds w it. Don't overlook his Atomic 13

I don't think SS can even make a bad call n MACs are awesome too

Give Mark @ MAC Calls a shout and order his cherry slate. Quest complete.

That's funny, I'm also waiting on those exact Platz calls, really hoping to have them for spring

I think his blue mahoe crystal is great.
Jimmy's blue mahoe is my favorite call I own. Period. He also sent me a slate call from his personal collection. I asked for a certain sound and boy did it deliver. I have a glen marrer zebrawood double glass, a Mac call, and a platze walnut double glass all on order. Can't wait!!
Would love to get a Natural Addiction Trumpet! Del will fix a fellow up!

Mad Hen=crystal over glass
Mad Hen 2=crystal over slate
I would like to get a Brad Roberts Poplar Glass, Sinclair Titanium and a Mad Hen 1 or 2
Think you're right bout the mad hen soundboards., I know he plugged the center holes now. Gotta ask em, what he called the newer calls. Maybe Gen 2
I recently ordered a Loftis Crystal Screamer. Many have written about its unique sound. Can't wait to hear it.

He calls it a screamer for a reason. Gonna have to run it outside lol. Ear buster!!!!
My wife is looking forward to it! Haha. I can't believe I lived 5 houses away from David Loftis years ago and didn't know about him. I will revisit my old neighborhood soon (hopefully) to pick up the call and visit with Mr. Loftis.

Should be getting my Yellowheart/Mineral Poplar scratch box from the boys at SS any day now. Can't wait for that one. Will be my first scratch box. Will be ordering a new box from someone right after the holidays. Thinking about contacting Mr. McKamey for a little chat.
Starting off 2016 with a Plain Cherry, glass/slate, from Mike Yingling.
Can't wait

SS scratch boxes are my favorite. Try the Padauk butternut next time you order. All great calls but that one to me is my favorite. SS boxes are awesome as well! Halloran's boxes are also real nice.
