Strut10 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I was looking through some collectible turkey call listings on eBay. Got me to wondering if anyone else on the forums is into collecting (or accumulating) turkey calls......beyond the ones you typically use to hunt with?? I'm a boxcall nut.

Covehnter Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Re: Any call collectors??? One day when i'm outta college and the funds are much more available i'm sure i'll be a call collecting fool! I do believe i'm getting a pretty good start w/ this call i got from an ole boy from Alabama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Re: Any call collectors??? [ QUOTE ] I wonder who made that one??????? [/ QUOTE ] I'm very inexperienced when it comes to Turkeys and even more so when it comes to calls,,, but I recongnize that design myself.... am I close if I use the initials h4b ??..... Definately a great looking custom call, and the Turkey is absolutely gourgeous.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntn4bucks Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Re: Any call collectors??? I guess I'm a wanna be call collector. I have almost every Lynch box call made except for a couple. I don't have the "Turkey in the Pines" which is the most valuable and I don't have the 12 hole call which is also very valuable. I have a Tony Reynolds longbox and a couple Albert Pauls calls in my collection too. None of the calls in my collection are extremely valuable but they're still nice to have though.

Strut10 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Re: Any call collectors??? A+ on the Lynches!!!!!!! I've only got a couple....one Birmingham........would love to have a TITP Lynch, but ain't got a grand laying around doing nothing at the moment. Isn't it amazing how calls that sold for $10-$40 within the last 20 years are fetching up to sevetral thousand dollars in 2006??? You're in a pretty unique situation, there, H4B. You make a call.........put it on your shelf......and you're a call collector!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntn4bucks Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Re: Any call collectors??? You would think that was the case but it's really not. Every time I start to make a call for myself someone comes along and wants it. Actually I only have a few of my own calls. Don't tell anyone but I have a couple started for myself right now.

If you have a log 4-4 1/2 feet long and 8 or so inches in diameter, get it cut off and put it up off the ground. I can hook you up with a sawyer.
