This week we’re joined by Brent Rogers who has fast become the authority on the history of turkey calls. Brent has a vast collection but more importantly has dedicated his free time to learn the history to the calls. It would be hard to imagine anyone knowing more about the infancy of the call business and collecting the old calls that are worth serious money. They are still out there to find through estate sales, unknowing friends and internet sites. His new book The Origins and Evolution of Turkey Calls is a must have for anyone that’s interested. We learned a lot about the old calls we all love so much.
Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

However, today’s modern camouflage doesn’t dictate you use blinds now but there are many situations where a blind adds value. Pat explains many of them and they all made sense. We had a great discussion about hunting and hiding.
