Summary

2024 Unicoi Recap Show This week, Andy shares the audio of the interviews from this year's Unicoi Custom Turkey Call Maker's Show held in January of 2024 at Unicoi State Park outside of Helen, GA. This call maker's show features some of the best custom call makers in the country, and it is an amazing place to go and put your hands on hundreds of turkey calls and learn from the call makers themselves. It is also a place to pick up some great artwork, books, turkey call cases and turkey totes, and knives, as well. For the turkey call collector, there are even displays where you can pick up and run some very old and unique turkey calls that collectors have on display. The show in Unicoi is a can't miss event for all turkey hunters, and this year's show was no different. Andy plays great interviews with attendees as well as Josh Painter, who is now one of the guys putting the show together each year. Donny Richards and Cathy Champion also join Andy for interviews as well. Scattered throughout the highlights of the show, Andy shares sound files from the call makers that he bought calls from. These calls are amazing in the woods, and we don't think the turkeys stand a chance. See the list of call makers featured in this episode and their contact information listed below.
