Steve - just ordered a couple. I've had one that's very similar that a guy in Arkansas built for me about 30 years ago. Working birds last week and kept looking at the blade about worn out and wondering what I was going to do when I did. Now I know! I'll give you a report.....

Got mine today, made some good loud sounds that had all the turkeys running and hiding. Of course the only turkeys within earshot were teenage kids, good riddance!
Easy to use, well crafted and can't wait to get out after em one year.

I'll take one. If you have a cherry wood version I'd prefer that.

Got mine Friday, really easy to use. Have about 10 minutes on one of them and it works great! Can't imagine what it could do in the hands of a good turkey hunter!
Thanks again.

Steve - got my calls today and had time to chalk them up and play with them. Very good tone. Very pleased with these calls and the craftmanship, well worth the money.

Steve I just ordered one on your site. I filled one tag yesterday but I have another tag to fill before the season is over in two weeks. I'm hoping I get this call real soon so I can get some practice time in and then use it in the field this season.
Thanks!

Thanks. I'll be out of town all day today, but I'll send it out Saturday AM by First Class mail. Good luck with your second bird!

Six more calls going out today. I'm down to just a couple. I'll need to put some work in next week.
Thanks, everyone.

Thanks!

Three went out today. Turkey seasons have wound down in the south, but are just opening now in the northern states.

Three more shipped today to Virginia and Montana. I'm down to Cherry only. That's the most popular anyway. My ratio is 3 Cherry to 1 Maple. I probably won't have any more Maple ready to go until June. Thanks, everybody. I'm hearing good results about my call. Here's one I'll share that I sold to a guy near Punxsutawney, PA when I was just starting: I happen to snag one of your calls to try out and I killed one with it that year and pretty much every year after. We used your call on Saturday to call in these two Toms. It is definitely my go to call. (Love the way it purrs) I just wanted to THANK you for the call. It's making great memories. Steve.
