2026 Unicoi Recap Show

This week, Cameron and Andy recap the 2026 Unicoi Custom Callmakers Show held in January in Helen, GA.

This year's show was once again a tremendous success for the callmakers and other exhibitors at the show. It was also a success for Andy as he was able to bring home some great calls to add to his turkey vest for this upcoming spring.

Andy bought incredible sounding calls from Roger Park, Darrell Dawkins, and Larry Stephens at this year's show, and he has audio clips from the woods running those calls for your listening pleasure in this episode.

Andy also had a special gift given to him by budding callmaker Luke Ditto, who was introduced to the Unicoi Custom Callmakers Show by this podcast. That introduction has led to an interest in building turkey calls. Andy shares that story this week.

This is a great episode, and we think you will enjoy it. Listen in!
