It's been a crazy month for me and up to now, I wondered if I could actually pull this trip off. Sickness and death has hit my family a bit hard and I've only seen the turkey woods for a couple of hours this spring.
Final packing is done and the last decision to make was the calls. I usually use mouth calls since I don't hunt from blinds and want to keep movement to a minimum but this is a special hunt.
Call #1 Neil Cost Box made for my Dad in 83. I've never hunted this call without him. Special but a bit sad. Not a story for now.
Call #2 A copper pot call made by a local fella that has been to multiple states and killed multiple birds this season. Many stories in this call that even I don't know yet but I hope to add one or two to the journal myself.
Call #3 A Joebuck Wooden Hen. If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand anyway.
