Just to let you guys know ,what's going on with me ...
Most of you know I am a UPS driver by profession 34 years and I have decided to retire this April!  Whoop whoop



This is a few years earlier than what me and my family had planned and the reason being is several of the waterfowl game calls designs (patent pending )  :wave: have really taken off in popularity and i literally can't make them fast enough,  no matter what time of year it is

The work pace has been insane 80 to 90 hours a week non stop year round ...no weekends off , and hardly any days off for family or hunting ..for the last 5 years now , but that will change for me in April !

Soo...why sweat in a brown truck when I can make game calls full time !

Ill be trying to make my ussual amount turkey calls this spring , then I have to get to real work and really ramp up my waterfowl product line as I have to build up inventory

The following spring 2026 ..that is when I am hoping to have more push pin calls made than normal

Also the 2025 patch is in the pipeline about mid February uounwill see those

Stay safe Shannon

Retirement isn't what it's cracked up to be unless you keep busy and do the things you love. It appears you are going to have more than enough on your plate to keep busy my friend. Congratulations!
