Piddling around loading shells and started getting stuff ready for spring?

There with you buddy

Just got back from the Unicoi callmakers show. We had to do a quick turnaround due to the weather, but definitely ready for spring now:

I’m starting to turn the corner.

A slight breeze is blowing, but it’ll be a full blown hurricane in a couple months

Ray show us what you picked up at the show! yes already thinking about spring and running a few calls!

Always thinking about it. Haven’t really done anything yet tho.

I don’t know how to post pictures, but I’d be happy to send someone some pictures of my haul. Was a great show as always. I came away with some great stuff and spent too much money. Was a long day since we decided to go there and back to avoid the snow and ice today. Glad we did because they got a lot of snow on that mountain.

Hey Ray I pm you my number send me pics and I will try and post them!

I need to. Florida is quickly approaching.

I don’t get ate up with it until after the rut. It used to be after duck season went out in Arky but that addiction got to be too much money.

Ray's haul from Unicoi, you did well sir!

Great haul!

Haven’t let myself go there just yet but will start loading in February. Getting south Texas plans together

gobble4me, you guys only going back to texas? No Mo this season?

At Unicoi, today was browse and get a buy plan together for tomorrow.

I'm about to wear out some coons on my deer feeders. That's about as close to thinking about it as I've gotten yet

Going with a different group of guys this year, but no chance will I go back to that outfitter. When I do Mo again, I’d prolly just go public or so….pretty much what some of us in that group resorted to. Y’all goin back up there?

Def hear you there! Killed 2 but will go to town with em soon

Yes our group is going back with the same guy but they moved the season back a week because of Easter I think! Yes I have started on the coons also!

Haven’t really ever stopped thinking about it. I never stop trapping coons, run traps around feeders year round. Got a new firebreak finished up and making burn plans. Got some bush-hogging to do soon, trying to reclaim some old pasture ground.

And that’s a great assortment of calls. I’ve never been to that show, and probably don’t need to go. I’d end up in bankruptcy and divorced.

I’ve been making some yelpers and sorting out travel plans the last few weeks.

Been working on the mobile turkey cabin this afternoon. Starting to come together.

Just got back from Unicoi, and made a pretty good haul both in calls and call blank wood!
If you have never been, you need to go. The best of the best call makers are there.

Very nice haul! who made the checked box?

Jeff @ Twisted creek calls in Chattanooga.
Jatoba lid minerald polar sides. The poplar came from Pineapple Al, my SIL is the game warden in Wilcox county and knows the pc of property that it came off of. Thought that was a neat connection, and it plays very good.

good stuff!

You guys would laugh at my turkey hunting gear. However, I do plan to carry at least TWO mouth calls in my pocket this season

Dropped the 870 off today to get tapped and a Sumtoy mount. Venom sitting in my desk waiting. Been hunting with the O/U last 5 years but decided to bring the widowmaker out of the safe for this year.

I did find a couple “recommended limits” here during pine goat season

Happens ever year..i make it to about January an then i forget what deer are🤷🏻
