As a call maker, one sometimes finds themselves searching for new ideas? Something innovative, yet functional? When lo and behold, the idea is right in front of them all along!
Born of a man, and a series of grainy cell phone photos (that we’ve all endured), I was able to combine the key elements, and produce a call of LBL caliber!
I introduce the “B.M.†series of calls. [Calling plan not included] :readthis:

*Solid American Cherry (Grown North of the Mason Dixon Line, I might add)
*A slim, tapered styling.
*A “grainy photo display†for your viewing pleasure
*Handy..When you just have to make a “callâ€..LOL!
*Voiced Cottontail
*Signed and dated by the demented designer himself
Well Mr. Bopeye, this call is a gift for you. For all the abuse you take from us for your “stellar†camera performances. So enjoy! You earned it!
But wait! It seems there is a second “B.M.†call? This call is to be awarded (by Bopeye) to the person he feels most deserving? Ah, so many potential victims/ recipients to choose from? Who will it be??? :wo:

:laf: :wink:
Dave,
You are a man of MANY talents: honey hole protector, hunter, call maker, and now telecommunications.

So far I see five or six contenders? :laf: To answer your question Jim? About the closest I came to getting a full fledged "Bite Me!" was http://forum.finsandfur.net/index.php?topic=4951.0 I believe you took that bullet for me when you quoted me. Bop fired one off at you. :laf: Thanks buddy! I do feel my time is running out however? Hopefully HaMer will draw some diversionary fire instead of me? :innocentwhistle:
Outstanding, you have absolutely outdone yourself on this one.
:roflmao: @ all the diversionary fire!! That's good stuff. :hahaha: I can see ol Bopeye now.
:shock2: :holdon: :argh: :mad2: :mad2: :mad3: :mad3: :mad3: :confused: :shrug: It's true. :sick2:
Or the old,,, :sad3: :sad3: I don't know what to say. I think I'll just go cry now. :roflmao: :roflmao:
Bop is the biggest %)*(^$#@*&)+)&*^*^#$%%$#%%%@%)^^*##%^$###@&$!!!!$$^^$^&(? on this board. :eyebrow:
That is so different and perfect at the same time :bowingsmilie:. You know I like your work Dave but this is a new level for you :yoyo:.
EXCELLENT!! WTG, Dave!! :yoyo: :roflmao:
Bop I remember those cell phone pics very well.I think you and I were in compitition on who could post the worst pics :laf: Myself I believe you have won that,now that I have my grey card :wink:
Nice call Dave :yoyo: :highclap: Excellent job
A "bite" of trivia:
As most of you know this is not the first "Bite Me" Dave has created. Last year another two identical carved "Bite ME" calls were created. Dave proudly presented one call to the Bop man himself and it's twin was presented, by Bop, to an FnF'er whom Bop felt was deserving.
Trivia question: Who was the person that received this beautiful work of art? :wo:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v50/coyotehunter_1/Bopeye1X.jpg)
I don't know who won it but I bet it's in their basement doing rodent control!! :roflmao: :roflmao:
I know who won it. He made me drive home so he could caress the carving on the call and talk to it and......Ok ya get the pic :nono: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
I dont recall it being discussed. But I am getting old :innocentwhistle:
:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:OH MY SIDE!!!!!!! :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Thats not gonna work Glen it takes to long for that little video to buffer,and Bop has eating that needs done :roflmao:
HaMer, that's known as "baiting" in these parts! :roflmao:
I wonder if being associated with this call will hurt my "ProStaff" status potential? :wo:
:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: GREAT LOOKING CALL DAVE !!! I think you captured the true Bop with that one. Excellent coverage with it too. He can call from anywhere. :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
good stuff !! :roflmao: :roflmao:
HaMeR :laf: :nono:
Man, see what a fella misses when he sleeps all day. :biggrin:
Thats a nice talking can ya whittled there Dave. :congrats: :congrats: But after seeing the pics does it come with a "mute" or "ignore" feature? :innocentwhistle:
Just kidding Bop, I wouldn't ignore ya buddy. :wink:
Those are cool Dave. :congrats:
:roflmao: @ mute & Ignore!!!!! That's just cold Todd!! Funny as hell but cold!! :yoyo:
I tried to make it sound like a twinkie wrapper Bill. :roflmao: :roflmao:
Mount a toilet paper holder on the side...... :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:
Thats awesome Dave...except the picture...that part is hideous :puke: Way to think outside the box :yoyo:
Steve
I wonder how many posts we can rack up before bop drops in?
you got some talent dave. I tried carving back when I was in scouts. let's just say there is a good reason why I run a machining center that is computer controlled and not by hand. I wouldn't have the patience to do even a 1/8th of what you do. :yoyo:
QuoteI wonder how many posts we can rack up before bop drops in?
:shrug: I thought for sure he woulda come a runnin when he heard that candy wrapper. :confused:
:laf: :laf:
Jumped on here real quick this a.m. I think the call and baiting is what got me coming in. :roflmao:
I'm sorry I missed this last night. I'm at work right now, so I have to jump back off, but I have a lot to say on this. Tune in later this evening.
YOU GUYS ARE HILARIOUS!!!
DAVE BITE ME you wonderfully talented artist!!! Too bad you messed it up with my mug again. :laf:
Talk to you guys more tonight.
I really am at a loss. I LUV YOU GUYS!!! ;yes;
Bop musta been on break!! :roflmao: :roflmao:
Dave-- Congratulations!! You got a certified bona fide Bopeye BITE ME!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
Dave gets his "first" and we were all here to watch. Way to go Dave!
Jerry
Accepting his first "Bite Me" via Bop's Cell phone...
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/HuntnCarve/January2010/AwardAcceptance.jpg)
"I would like to thank all my fellow call makers and Bopeye, for allowing me this honor..I think???"
Anyway, thanks for being a good sport Bop! And letting us all have some fun. :congrats: We do think the world of you, though we won't admit it. :laf:
HuntnCarve
Dave
PS. Yes, this photo was taken by Bop on his cell phone camera back in August (grainy as ever..-The person in the photo that is!). Meantime, we'll be awaiting Bop's decision on who will receive the coveted award?? :wo:
That's funny right there ^^^^!! :laf: :laf:
I added the text......... :innocentwhistle:
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh123/alscalls/AwardAcceptance.jpg)
I was sure there was a few more of those Bite Me's coming
I will wait and see :laf:
I'm sure there is Bill. Luckily for me tho I don't have any coming my way. :whew:
Hamer!!! Hamer!!! You are the biggest recipient of BITE ME's in the history of this board!! However, I have done some searching and thinking today. I even chatted on the phone with Huntncarve today. Not too many fellas on this planet can top him. He's a true scholar and gentleman. His family is full of very smart and talented individuals as well. ;yes;
The list goes on and on of those that could easily win this award. I have given it much thought and I think I know which individual will receive this "coveted award" this year, BUT nobody will know who is going to get it until we meet at the LBL. Hopefully this individual will be there. If not, maybe we can get CCP to film it as we present it to the winner at the LBL and then send it their way. I think most of you will find my decision dead on, at least I hope you do.
Hamer won it last year at Redbird and I think most agree he could very easily win it again this year, but we'll just have to wait and see.
You guys really are my internet family and I think so much of so many of you. I appreciate Jim Champion for giving us this board to be as tight as we are. I know we sometimes have our disagreements, but what family doesn't, yes?
I will be leaving in a few minutes to attend the viewing of a very good friend of mine that died suddenly Wednesday morning. He was 51 years old and fell dead of a blood clot. His daughter worked trying to save him, but to no avail. Tomorrow is his funeral. It reminds me that we should never take our friends for granted. He was one of the best men I ever knew. Having said that, just to tell ya'll that I do not take our freindships here lightly. Thank you so much for all of you and the times we have had here and hopefully in the future.
I look forward to seeing all of you at the LBL. :yoyo: :highclap:
Sorry to hear of your loss....Prayers sent....
Bop-- I'm not trying to win it. :nono: I'm just trying to have a bunch of fun with it. I'm sure the wiener winner will be deserving of this highly prestigious award. I certainly hope the winner is there too. As for Dave,,, well his work speaks volumes of itself & the time he takes to make his HH posts & the BITE ME awards is truly great. I really enjoy those stories. And I agree with you about the good folks here. Friends N Family. :biggrin:
Sorry to hear about your Friend. I hope his Family recovers quickly from this sudden tragic event. And that you do as well. Luckily you have each other to lean on James.
Hey Bop. I stole this from the Daily Quotes topic. It seems to be appropriate for the moment.
Quote
"While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him beyond the veil." - John Taylor
Amen to that Hamer.
Hey guys. I didn't mean to bum this thread. Death is a part of life. I'll miss Freddy, but I will see him again.
My point in bringing it up was just to let you know that I don't take my friendships with people lightly. When someone comes into my life and becomes a part of it like so many of you have, it becomes embedded into who I am. When you guys rejoice, I rejoice with you. When you mourn, I mourn with you. When times are tough I feel it with you and so on.
Please don't let me sidetrack this post with the death of my friend. I loved him and his children, but God and those of us left will see to them. In the meantime, we need to have a good time here.
What Dave (Huntncarve) has done is what makes us uniquely FnF. We are not like other sites. Nobody is trying to profit off of each other, we are not trying to out do each other, and we for sure aren't trying to claw our way to the top by stepping on others. That's what makes this place unique and more like a home away from home than just another website.
Let the other sites beat each other out of money or try to become famous or whatever other scheme they come up with, while we just keep on hunting, fishing, enjoying what God has given us and enjoying one another's camaraderie.
I can't wait to see the winners face when he gets this. I hope it's caught on film. :wink:
Oh, I almost forgot. Everyone that responded to this thread with your little wise cracks can BITE ME!!!
:eyebrownod: :eyebrownod: :wink:
Wow a mass BITE ME!!!
Is that even legal :shrug:.
May Freddy rest in peace :wink:

It's called the "buckshot" approach Barry and I can't find anything in the regs saying it's illegal, not even at the LBL. :laf:
