I wouldn't even think about entering a calling contest, but I do manage to kill a bird every now and then.

I've never even attended one of the contests. I know that at least some of those guys that win them are really good turkey hunters, but something about the commercialization of both hunting and fishing has always bothered me. I don't question anyone's right to do it, but I've never cared to participate.

No doubt that I am kinda weird. I have bass fished all my life and never entered a tournament of any kind. I guess I hunt and fish for different reasons than most people, but I honestly would have trouble articulating what they are. Good luck to those of you who compete.

100% agree

Though I will add that beautiful calling is about the last thing needed to turkey hunt. It would be like a fly tying contest for fishermen.

BTW, I think setting up right and understanding what the turkey wants to hear or do are the most important. Calls, guns, and camo are all just things to waste time and money on. Though wasting time and money can be fun too.

It took me so long to learn and realize this.. sometimes I still lock up and hit my pockets when I hear one gobble before
thinking it through and doing what “he” wants me to.

I’ve won a local contest, but I’ll leave the judgment to the ones on my wall and in my belly.

Competition calling or what you hear from callers on stage is only the callers demonstration of his\her ability.

Won this using using my calls that I build so I'm proud of it. Probably won't ever enter another one.

I've entered a few local contest and won a few. However contest calling is nothing or even close to calling while hunting. Contest your trying to convince humans. Hunting your trying to fool a big paranoid bird that's wants to breed.
