Going out of business
« on: September 05, 2017, 06:01:55 PM »
To my family, my friends and customers of Gene's Turkey Calls,
Father Time has caught up with me as far as operating my call business. Because of loss of muscle strength in my right arm and leg, I can no longer manage the equipment required to manufacture calls.
Therefore, I am shutting down my call business. When the time runs out this month on my web site it will no longer be online. I still have some calls that I would like to sell. The site will be online for another 2 weeks or so.
I want to thank everyone who has supported me in this venture for the past 39 years. That includes people who I have never met but consider them to be friends. Some of you I have known for a long time and have had the great pleasure to hunt with some of you. My wife and children have put up with a lot and I appreciate them so much.
Please don't be a stranger with email or facebook.
Gene Blackshire

Good luck in your future endeavors Gene.

Thank you especially for assisting the custom call making world helping see that squirrel bellows became more accessible to the custom call makers.
