Just have to have faith in her and trust that you and your wife did a good job in raising her.

The sad reality is that a lot of people don't know the difference between a good and bad mount. That allows for some less then talented taxidermists to stay in business. I have no idea how much this particular taxidermists charges for his work, but a cheaper price shouldn't be the determining factor in choosing a taxidermist. Sorry that you got ripped off!!

He still does make them along with many other items. They can be viewed on his site... http://www.matthewscustomcalls.com/

This has been the best season in years in my neck of the woods. The toms are gobbling their heads off and the hens are also very talkative. The toms have been all henned up except for the one I killed on Sunday morning. I believe the season will get better once the toms are alone and looking for hens. Hang in their guys the best is yet to come.

Glad you like your prize Nathan!!

Nathan your prize has been mailed out. Hope you're happy with it!!

Nathan congrats on being this year's winner of the youth contest!! G-Man please PM me Nathan's addy so I can get his prize to him.

Good luck to all the youth hunters and their mentors this weekend!! Be safe!! Don't forget to enter your successful hunt pics and story!!

Prizes were mailed out this morning!! Hope you guys enjoy them!!

To say that I'm disappointed in the lack of participation is an understatement!! A lot of members preach about getting youngsters involved in hunting but it seems to me that it's more about killing and not hunting. This was supposed to be a fun contest where all the youths had to do was write about what they like most about turkey hunting. Nothing more!! Thanks to the two that did enter this contest. You are both winners as well as are your mentors!! You will both receive a prize as you are both winners!! Please PM your addresses and I will get your prizes out to you! Congrats!!

Come on guys!! Get your kids involved here!! All they need to do is write why they like turkey hunting, I'm sure they'll all be anxious and happy to win a prize!!

You're welcome!! Hope you like your gift too Joe!!

Anymore youth hunters entering this contest? Only 4 days left to enter!!

Jeremiah have Joe send me your address please. I'm going to send you a prize for being the first to submit a story. Thanks and good luck this season!!

This is a totally different contest. It's just a fun contest for the kids and a chance for them to win something. Go by the rules in the first post and that's it. The actual hunt contest is separate from this one.

Yes he can Joe. Thanks!!

Will they participate in this Early Bird contest?

Is there any interest at all in this contest? If not I'll pull it and add the prizes to the youth hunt contest. I would have thought that the same guys that preach about youngsters getting into hunting would show more enthusiasm and inspire the young folks.

No they don't. I would prefer that they write the story.

Call is SOLD

I've owned numerous crystal calls and I have around 12 now that I consider my favorite. This is a good call but not my ideal sound for a crystal. I like my crystal calls a little bit higher pitched but that's just my ear. I'm sure these calls will account for a lot of dead birds across the country.

Brand new, not hunted Metal Mouth. Comes with two piece Purpleheart striker and a one piece Yellowheart striker. Asking $75 TYD paypal as a gift or postal money order only. Shipping to Canada add $6.

Nobody wants to be the first? Lets get this contest rolling!!
