Hello everyone, since I'm first to post, figure I share alittle bit about myself. My name is Billy, I'm 25 live in Waterloo,Ia. I drive a 93 inline 6 black f-150 stick and like long walks on the beach, to my treestand JK lol. I've been turkey hunting since I was 18 and like calling with my natural voice.

I hunt with my bow(hoyt vtec) and will be taking my 10 yr old nephew on first first hunt to get a turkey this year. Hopefully we'll git-r-done.

Any ideas of names?

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7

Hey Billy, nice to meet you. My name is Tracy and I've been killin' turkeys for many years now. BowHunterDerek and I were teamed up on a pretty good team two years ago...hopefully we'll be just as successful this year. I'll be chasing Easterns in my home state of Alabama, Osceolas in South Florida, Merriams in Nebraska, and Rios in Oklahoma. In case you didn't notice, I'm going for the Slam in one season. crazy.gifgrin.gif

As far as team names go, I'm pretty open to almost anything.

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7

Tracy, glad to be a team member with you again! Wish I was chasing Osceolas this year too. I've started my own business and it is really cutting into my hunting trips right now. I had to cancel a Texas trip, then was going to go guided in South Dakota. That is now cancelled. If work allows I'm going to throw a do it yourself hunt in the Black Hills. If nothing else I'll be chasing Easterns here in Indiana and maybe Ohio.

Looking forward to getting to know the rest of you guys.

I'm glad to be a part of the team guys. I'll be chasing Rio's in ceneral Texas the first part of April, and Easterns in East Texas the last 3 weeks of the season. I didn't have any luck last year but this year is looking good so far.

What are we going to call this team?

We have to have official "Team #7" box calls made.

How about it Tracy? grin.gif

Now that you mention it, I think I like "Team Gobbling Thunder" better. grin.gif

I was actually thinking about contributing a call as a prize in the competition. I sent borch a PM to see if he could come up with some criteria for winning it. What do you think about that idea?

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7

I'll take that deal wink.gif, whom do I send my address to grin.gif. I'll go with #7 for real though, I like using my primos box (has a few notches) second only to my voice.

Hunting4bucks I think that's an awesome idea for the contest! Do you sell your calls or are they for personal use only?

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7

I've been making calls for several years now and have just now gotten to the point where I think they're worthy to be sold. Mr Albert Paul of Pauls Calls has been mentoring me for the past several years. Him and Neil Cost were close friends and that's who taught him how to make box calls. Up until this point most of my calls have been given away to friends and family to "field" test for me. smile.gif

That's pretty cool. I've heard of Mr Paul(quite a mentor) but not Neil Cost or maybe it's just not registering upstairs. Would you post some pictures? I always enjoyed looking at hand crafted box calls.

Here's a couple of threads with pics of my calls:

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7

Team name really doesn't matter to me either, I'm easy, we'll be named winners at the end anyway wink.gif.

Tracy those are beautiful, thank you for sharing. Like some of those custom duck calls or long bows, I think handcrafting box calls is an art form.

Was planning on getting out today or tomorrow to do a little scouting but the weather is nasty. Guess I'll keep looking at aerial photos or maybe drive some back roads.
