The time has come for me to start selling my call collection. My health is rapidly deteriorating and I will never turkey hunt again. My son will keep a few of my calls but he is not a collector. I would entertain offers on my entire collection if anyone would like to come look. I would make someone a bargain on the entire lot. I am not looking for someone to cherry pick just a few calls. I am considering starting with trumpets and putting a package together that would contain 10 calls, Cox, Lumma, Permar, Hornstra, Buice, Watkins. This package would cost several thousand dollars. Just because I am sick I am not desperate to sell. I have a friend that will sell my calls in the future. Sorry for the morbid post but it is what it is. Thanks....

Sorry to hear this hunter that sucks. I wish I could buy your collection but no way I could. If you get to a point that you need to get rid of just a couple trumpets let me know and sorry to hear this

Everyone that knows you hates to hear you talk about selling your collection. If those are your wishes it may help to post your location.
It probably seems hard, but keep fighting!

Thanks for all the messages and prayers. If I feel like it tomorrow I plan to put some packages tomorrow. The following will be in the packages.
Lot 1..... Several older Lonnie Sneed calls, 3 inch Raspy Boss Hen, Hot Hen, Outlaw Hen and other green glass Sneeds, Illuminator which may be the best kee call I own, several soft callers.
Lot 2..... Corder pots
Lot 3..... Platz pots
Lot 4.....Five trumpets
Lot5....Five trumpets
I will not break these lots up. Lots of calls that are next to impossible to find. I will sell only one lot at a time. Do not send any messages trying to cherry pick any of these high end calls. Thanks....
