I got off work today, did my usual chore and hauled a load of water up to the house and stopped at the mail box to pick up the usual assortment of crap and bills. There, inside, was a box from someone I had neglected to call in sometime. After unloading the water into the holding tank, feeding the dogs and some other quick chores I opened the box to find these two wonderful calls. The one is made from moose antler sent to Dave (huntncarve) last year to make the call that was auctioned for FnF. It is adorned with Bloodwood and Blackwood with a delrin toneboard. The other is from Pennsylvanian hard Maple. In my rush to find something to photograph them I figured what better backround then the pelt of the first wolf I ever trapped. Dave I cannot thank you enough for your generosity, my door here in the the "Greatland" of Alaska is always open.
Hunt hard, Die tired

That moose antler is a beautiful looking call John. :yoyo: I stopped by Dave's last week and he showed it to me before he sent it out.

Very sharp, and virtually priceless made with your Alaskan antler. :wink: Dave's got an unmatched way of bringing things like that to life.
Beautiful work Dave, and you deserve it John.
You've got to love those antler calls. Very nice work indeed.

Yes he does great work. What's nice about his calls is that not only do they look good but they call in critters!
I know you will get the chance to put them to use, John. Great looking calls for sure. :congrats:
VERY Sweet!!! That Dave is a class act. :eyebrownod:
When I got to meet him last year I had but one thing that bugged me. I wished he lived closer so we could put some fur down together. :wink:
Way to go John. :highclap:
