October is a few months away yet, but mark you calendars for October 10th & 11th. For you guys that haven't ever been, it is a fun, relaxed atmosphere along the shoreline of the famous Reelfoot lake. All weekend talking about and blowing duck calls with fellow call makers. There is also a working call contest on Saturday morning, where a call operator runs all of the calls in the division, and judges score the calls based purely on the sound. There's also booth space set up if you would like to set out a few calls for sale too. Saturday afternoon, there are some call making seminars. If you are struggling with duck call toneboards, this is a great opportunity to have some fellow call makers take a look at it and provide some feedback on it.
Here is the flyer for the event:
