I went last year and a few years before that. The question is, what does it not have? If it is related to turkey hunting they have it. This is what some refer to as "The Big Show". It has all of the Grand Champion calling contests... turkey diaphragm, turkey pot, turkey box, turkey wing call, turkey tube call, owl calling, crow calling, gobbling, with calls or with voice, team competition, etc. It hosts call makers, gun makers, decoy makers, clothing manufacturers, country music stars, hunting tv stars, seminars, all of it.

Here is a teaser video to get people excited about this years convention....

I also provided 3 videos of one of my favorite team calling contests. These guys are good and won with this set last year.

I bought a new diaphragm call from my favorite call company and also their new gobble call. That thing is easy to blow, but hard to be consistent on. I should have it by the time turkey season gets here. I also bought a new choke tube to try. I hope it works, if not, I will sell it and keep using what I have. I saw some great new products that caught my attention and some that were down right ridiculous. I got my favorite turkey hunting hat autographed by alot of celebrity hunters. I count 12, with Preston Pittman being one of my favorites. I have never seen him on a TV hunting show, but have seen many videos of him on YouTube and he is a riot.

Down-N-Dirty Calls is who I like and use. I posted a link to their website and a video to the gobble call.
