Title: Trolls?
Post by: RSmalleyLLGC on October 22, 2019, 08:22:34 AM

I am rather new to the call making business.  I have sold quite a few calls through posting on different Facebook pages.  I have been contacted by multiple people who claim they work for guide services and know a bunch of people in the industry that can make my "call career" expand.  They say they really like my calls, and want a few sent to them to display for their clients and would make orders, and then send back my calls, so I can reproduce the exact call for their clients. 

Am I being trolled?  I obviously would not just send off finished calls without some type of payment.  I know there are hunters out there that ask for free gear/calls and claim they will advertise their calls for them.  I just want to know if any of you have pursued these types of offers, or if i should tell these people to kick rocks. 

Thanks!

Am I being trolled?  Probably.  Get your calls out there by going to shows, Facebook, etc.  If you don't know the guys personally or have not met them at a show and know they are legitimate don't give away your stuff.

Most Callmakers get the asked that same thing several times a week, if not daily this time of year. Most of the time, the requests get ignored.

Just people trying to get free calls. Ignore them and walk on....
