You've spent days planning the perfect opening day. Each and every single one of your calls is working exactly how you want it to. With confidence and courage you enter your favorite gobbler hunting area and sit down at an optimal tree. Now nothing can be perfect, and we all know that there is no such thing as a perfect morning in the turkey woods. No matter how textbook a hunt can be, something, big or small, can always go wrong. Suddenly, a gobbler sounds off just one hundred yards down the hollow. What is the first word that comes to mind? "Perfect" is what comes to mine. You pull out your favorite anodized aluminum call. You know, the one that can do soft tree yelps and hard biting nasty yelps and cutts? In an excited turn of events, you apply the striker tip to the call to make a series of beautiful, mellow tree yelps, sure to make that gobbler want that submissive hen he is hearing. Instead, a horrid screech comes from the aluminum surface as your striker skips across the anodized aluminum. I highly doubt that this would have much of an effect on the hunt, as all hens sound different. But such an event as this can ruin one's confidence! This has happened to me and has definitely, though wrongly, ruined my confidence in the morning. "How can I prevent this?" you ask. Well, in this video that I made, I will show you just how I condition slate, glass, blasted glass, and anodized aluminum calls. Thank you and have a fantastic day!
