If you'd like to receive and use the 2012 traveling turkey call, post here.  Please post your location as well as when you'll be hunting (season dates, anticipated hunting dates) and we'll come up with an order that'll get it to the most people.

If you sign up, you agree to send it to the next guy on the list without delay after you hunt with it, and agree that you will use priority mail or a similarly expeditious means of getting it there.  No parcel post!!! 

Depending on the number of participants, we may do a couple different traveling calls to get them to the most folks.

EDIT[/b]

HERE'S THE ORDER...Tried to get it in a somewhat geographic order with the guys with the earliest seasons getting the call first.  Just makes sense for Gouldman to get it first since he's making it. 

Gouldman, april 9-25
Sharpshooter, march 17-april 29
JCZ, april 14-may 12
JWTcustomcalls, april 19-25 (please note the short window he has to use it)
culrich6, april 28-may 31
Aprilheadhunter, april 16-may 20
JTCcalls, may 2-20
KFB Game Calls, may 3-17
TheKCtermite, april 11-may 31

Please PM the guy in line before you and after you so they have your address and contact information. 

AT A MINIMUM, use priority mail.  Absolutely no parcel post please guys.  Overnight shipping may be warranted but I doubt it will be necessary in most cases.  I also really suggest that people use delivery confirmation service so the package can be tracked.


Ron will get the call back at the end of the season with everyone's signatures on it.

Sign me up!!  The season here in Arkansas is shorter than usual this year. It opens 14th of April and runs to the 29th. I'll only get to hunt 19th-25th due to work. We have a youth hunt too, it's the 7th & 8th. Be real nice to use the call to call a bird in for one of the youngsters.

I would like to get in on this. Our season dates are April 28th to May 31. I am located in Middleburg, PA and I plan to get out every saturday and if I know the call is coming to me during the week ahead of time I can most likely get a day off work to hunt it. I do have one question about how this is going to work. Are we hunting the call for one day then sending it off the next? Thanks

Corey

Corey, I'd say hunt it a day or two if you can.  Just don't want folks hanging on to it for several days, as it could prevent the next guy from getting it to the next guy, and so on. 

Ron Gould is working on a call for this.  With 9 or 10 of us signed up, I figure that we don't need to do more than one call this season.  If we had 20 guys I'd say regional calls would be a good idea.

The other suggestion is, since it's not that expensive, it should be mailed wih overnite mail.

Okay guys....
                 First off thanks for opportunity this is such an honor, at first I thought this will be fun then the reality of having to make a call for such a diverse group of call makers set in, knowing that the call would be critiqued from top to bottom.
What do I do (the pressure set in) what wood, what design, high pitch,lower pitch,what finish,ceramic,glas,crystal,slate? I was chasing my tail.

I finally settled down and decided keep it simple and go with what has worked for the past several years...I choose a new wood to me but loved the look and the tonal quality it has had in the few call I have made from it. I didn't woodburn it to leave space for all the signatures. The wood is Douglas Fir...the finish is 4 coats of tru oil....And I settled on good ole slate over glass.

As for the strikers I made two, a two piece walnut burl head with a ebony accent and purpleheart tip. The second one is a bubinga one piece that gives a little bit higher pitch for that windy day.

I'll be hunting it in the morning and plan to get it headed out by Tuesday, hope someone has some luck with it. :hunter1:

Again Thanks for the opportunity I wish everyone the best of luck and be safe out there.
                                                                                                Best of hunting.....Ron

Its not perfect on the outside for sure but it has some turkey in it.....I'm guessing sharpy marker? Or a paint pen?
Someone else may have some better ideas?  Ron
