| Favorite Calls: | I love my turkey calls!
Can't get enough of them, whether big manufacturer or custom calls. I am always trying for the best, most realistic impersonation of a bird I can. In particular, I am fond of slate and anodized aluminum pot calls, custom made by Wendell Rye of Lights Out Calls in Arkansas. I'm also fond of Al Holbert and his line of "Enticer" glass calls and love to hear my Dick Kirby curved paddle long and "shorty" box calls shock a gobble out of a tom, up in the day! |

| Proudest Accomplishments: | Spring 2006 was very memorable! I completed my first Grand Slam, finishing it with a monster Merriam in absolutely breathtaking scenery in Wyoming. Having whitetails, mulies, antelope and the Devils Tower as a backdrop for this hunt was most exciting. |

|
|
| Statement: | I am a passionate wild turkey hunter, who cannot wait for the next fall or spring season to arrive! My wife Anne is a saint for putting up with my obsession for all things turkey hunting! In the fall, besides turkey hunting, there is nothing like being in a tree stand with a bow during deer season and watching a beautiful day unfold, it's magic!! |
