This year has got off to a fast start, it’s already spring and I can’t wait to start hunting turkeys. But before that I have one last turkey calling contest this Sunday. The 2013 Twin Cities “Head 2 Head” Turkey Calling Championships Presented by Federal Premium Ammunition and Avian X Decoys. This event is held each year at the Northwest Sportshow at the Minneapolis Convention Center – Minneapolis, MN. I will be calling in two divisions Owl Hooting and the “Head 2 Head” Championships and I’ll be judging the other divisions.
The contest will be held in a grand room, very similar in appearance to the room that the Grand National Calling Championships are held in. The contest stage will be set up very much like it is at the Grand National Calling Championships as well and will feature a judges booth that is positioned at the front of the stage, decorated with award winning turkey mounts and a beautiful, photographic backdrop that will draw the audience’s eyes. The entire contest will also be streamed “Live” over the internet at www.CallingAllTurkeys.com
