I've never been to the convention, sorry for the stupid question, but do the judges run the call for that division or does the call maker, or someone they choose?

l'm not going to lose sleep over who should have won it. I'm not affiliated with any of them. There's one call maker that I know in my home state, and he didn't compete. I'm sure there are some salty guys though.

The judges run the calls. Unfortunately in some categories the judges cannot run the call they are judging. Use to be a real sore spot for me but life is too short to get caught up in it.

I'm sure this idea has been thrown around at some point, ever proposed to have calls in the competition that do not have a call makers name on it?

I made some recommendation a few years to the NWTF about how I thought the judging should be done. Needless to say I did not get very far. I still think the callmakers should run their own call behind a curtain. No names or faces. Heck, I have told Tim Bullock he would easily win with the way he can run a call. He normally places but very seldom at the top.

Turkeys are the true judges of turkey calls. There are so many good calls and call makers now a days to narrow it down to one that is "the best" by humans who by nature are going to be subjective to what they like out of a call or who they know and don't know just doesn't seem like the best way to label "the best"

Wondering why David Halloran is not entering calls anymore?

Regardless of how the judging is done controversy will follow....

Wins from the calling (playing) contest should take the calls behind a curtain for judges.
