Shannon / Push Pin

[Greg Massey]

X 4...... I also agree with everything you said in your post...

X5. I respect Shannon and what he has accomplished with this forum and his Pushpin business. When I heard his tutorial around his pool years ago on YouTube demonstrating his Pushpin, I was hooked! Nothing IMO sounds as realistic as the OG PP. I am fortunate to own his calls, and will never sell them. They changed the game for me in the turkey woods, no doubt. He should be proud of the dollars that they are bringing on Ebay, they are worth every penny. The quality, sound, and very limited supply dictate how much dedicated hunters are willing to pay for the opportunity to buy one. They are going to get harder to get, the demand and supply will dictate this moving forward. All I can offer here is those who own one, treasure it and those who want one, jump on the next opportunity. Lord knows, it could be your last shot. Be safe, have a great summer!

Let me start by saying that i think everyone has a right to keep, use or sell their calls as they see fit.  I may not like it but this is still America.  That said, if I have to pay to get one, I would sure rather pay the extra to Shannon than somebody that is just trying to make a buck.

Man that's not good news for us hunters wanting to someday get our hands on one!

I'm not the morality police, but I know how I feel. My calls will stay in my family until my family name ends , if I have any say. I feel privelidged to have one. i do think it is a work of art but also, how can I not use it. It is a sweet sounding call and I will take all the help I can get. Once you buy it, it is yours. I agree a 100%, but I also say let your conscience be your guide. If you need $$, work some OT, as many of us do. Unless my wife or kids need a kidney/liver, I'm keeping mine forever. Just my    Z

I agree with your statement. I am an old tightwad and in no way ever would I spend that kind of money for a turkey call. I seriously doubt I ever paid over $20.00 for a call. I use mostly mouth calls and I have been fortunate to know some good call makers who gave me calls. As most know I have 50 plus years in this game and filled  tags well into triple digits. I do not collect, but respect those who do. It just bugs me when people are solely driven by money and greed. If you respect the art and craftsmanship, great, but just money grubbing....yeah aaarrrrgggg. I was fortunate to win the elite raffle in 2024. I had calls that would have sold very well on ebay, Lapp, Slaton, Hamon and more. I donated two to a NWTF wounded warrior hunt and gave 4 to close friends and I still have six. I can't say I will never sell any, but it wasn't my first thought. I may donate a couple more to the hunt. To me a call is only part of the hunt, a tool that's all and I'm not breaking the bank for one when a cheaper option will get the job done.
