Real nice bird! Congrats! :yoyo:
If your partner was a Quaker Boy pro staffer, I can guarantee you he knows what he is doing with a turkey call. ;yes;
I killed my very first tom down at the LBL with a Quaker Boy Easy Yelper push pin call back in the 80's. They make good stuff.
Very nice bird! I used to sell glue to Quaker Boy for the assembly of their easy yelpers years back. LOL! Actually, I would ship pails of glue, and get assorted calls sent in exchange. :innocentwhistle:
