Apparently I'm being punished by the pagan weather gods for my prideful boasting about the sunshine last week, because we just got six inches of snow dumped on us.
...and I swear that if even one of you from the free states so much as starts telling me about your beautiful weather I'm going to load up my 870 and start heading south on I-81 and so help me god...
But I digress, I might not be able to tell by looking out the window, but my calendar tells me that we're only a little over a month away from the spring turkey opener up here in the Great White North. That means two things: It's time to start practicing your calls and you can officially start shopping for new turkey gear without feeling guilty. I've got a website that will help with both of those.
Check out call manufacturer Down 'N Dirty Outdoors. As you can see in the picture up there, they have one of the coolest logos I've seen in a while (does anyone else think that thing is begging to be a tattoo?) and their calls have badass names like "The Soul Crusher", "The Lethal Injection" and "The Shadow of Death". After a quick browse of their website you can tell that they spend some extra time making sure their calls look as sweet as they sound.
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten my hands on one yet to give you a full blown review, but I can recommend the short videos that they have attached to the page for each call. In each video, a professional caller demonstrates the call and gives you around a minute of prime turkey-chatter audio. I find audio like that very helpful, regardless of what kind of call you're using, you can play the audio over and over again and try to match your sound exactly.
