Hello, and Thank you Fins and Fur for this opportunity.

Presented to you, my forum friends is a Howler and Distress call, with my 1st original tonebaord.




About me:

My Name is Bryan Speed, I am 53 yrs old, resiiding in Van Alstyne, Tx. Near Sherman, Tx. and the Red River.

I have been making Predator calls since 2005, (with a few years off), but have always enjoyed making a call and hearing about it's use in the field.

My background is not as exciting and full of hunts, as many others...
As a youngster, I enjoyed shooting .22's at Boy Scout camp. But it was not until I was a teenager in West Kentucky, that  I experienced hunting.
Mostly I just searched the woods for Squirell and Rabbits.   I bought my onw firearms. A Win Model 70 .243 and several Shotguns.
Then some years passed, I no longer had any firearms, and had recently Married.

For my first Christmas with my new Wife ( we are still married) She bought me a Savage .22Mag. (still have it).
I got a green colored predator call.

Because the Men at work were Coon Hunters, and told me that Foxes were paying $25 or more. And since Winter meant temporary layoff,   I went out in the Snow and Ice, to become a "real hunter". hehe
Sat in a Brush pile, and made all kinds of noises.
Well, I saw nothing. So I got up and started walking around the field, and that's when I saw the scrawny Red Fox that had come to the call. NICE!
And that was it...many attempts later, never saw or called in ( to my knowledge) another Fox.

Many years passed yet again, lived in several places - Kansas, Mass./New Hampshire, and then settled here in Tx. in the early 80's
During the 80's to 1998, my Son and I raced dirtbikes with a local club. In 1988, I won my  Class State Championship :)

Sometime around 2003 or so, I discovered the Public Lands here, and went out after small game.
Soon, though I was trying to call Coyotes with a JS Preymaster. 
It took almost a Year.... sometime in that year, I had made my first couple of calls. Open reed,wooden toneboard.
But it was with that call, that I called in my first couple of coyotes.  Not good enough to take a shot,, but it was a start :)

Since then, I feel like I have learned a fair amount about calling, and especially about _spotting_ the Coyote that has come in! I am a Wind-on-my-back caller :)
I am always learning!  This Season and next Spring, I hope to get my 1st Turkey.  And yes, I hope to have made the call that brings ol Tom in.

My website has info on my calls, pics of calls made in the past, and pics of Coyotes taken. Do visit sometime :)
And if you are ever in my area, do drop in!! Who knows we may have to go out and do some calling!

Take Care, everyone

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
