Isn't that Purgatory_Predator_Calls Joey
www.purgatorypredatorcalls.com
I haven't heard from him in quite awhile
I thought so too, but not sure if there is someone else.
Thank you
:confused: No bells here.
There's no website on the other end of that link either. Did you spell it wrong Willy?
No I just go it from the members list here on FnF
It does show he was last active this January
For some reason, I was thinking it was Purgatory Creek? That's what was tripping me up. He made some beautiful calls.
AL @ THO
I agree with you Al If we are talking about the same person some awesome looking calls
Here is a link to one he posted here

Al, is Joey Gacnik the call spinner you turned me onto from PM years several years back?
He was one I am sure. A very nice gentleman who made some very nice calls. He never got involved in the politics or power struggles between call makers. We conversed back and forth about calls years ago, and I turned him onto the Sorby Spiraling tool I was playing with back then. Then I sent him some wooden bands one day and he just took the two and went to town. I don't think anyone has ever duplicated his style. It was unique. I am lucky enough to have one of his calls in my collection. If he reads this, I hope he is doing well.
AL @THO
Yip, thats Joey. He's had a a baby girl and purchased a small farm and tends to some horses now. Kinda keeps him real busy.
Yoey aka: Joey,
Is a great person and I too am lucky enough to have one of his calls. He also had a promotion in the department and I am sure that is taking extra time too. But his little girl is a beauty and I am sure he is spending lots of time with her.
Jerry
He was just on this morning too. He must have missed this thread.
Awwww cut it out guys, you're makeing me feel all warm inside. Yes, I have been busy. Some days, it seems like the day's over before I even knew it started :doh2: Jerry was nice enough to shoot me the link to this thread. Being back here, and seeing old names makes me sure want to dust off the bench in my shop. Maybe I'll have to do that. Afterall I do have HEAPS, and I mean HEAPS of wood for call makig that I aquired before life got so busy.
Al and Jerry, heck you're the guys who make the nice calls! We put up a new shelf in our home and the wife said, "I suppose you can put ONE (im my head i'm already thinking, one, One, ONE??? What do you mean ONE?) call up there until we get a nice cabinet for all of them". So I picked 4 of them 1 bonker, 1 coco stippled THO, 1 fancy fancy THO, and 1 curley maple Hawk. Now she just laughes and shakes her head... But hey I built the dang shelf LOL
No seriously, I've got this coming Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue off and I'm going to make it a top priority to get out to the shop. I've had a skeletonized A call in the works for what seems like more than a year now. Better get on it.
And the website, well that's just kind of a weird story... That's wayyyy to long for this post. But here's a pic of what's been keeping me so busy. You can see coyote calling has not strayed to far from my mind in the last couple years.

She's the most special little girl in the world. And I mean that!
I'll see you all around.
Good to hear from you again Yoey
And yes I can see you have quite the cutie to keep you busy
Yoey,
Don't blink or she will be riding that horse and you will be wondering how she grew so fast. She is a cutie!
Yerry
Yeah tell me about it. Last Sunday we went for a ride (She sits in the saddle while I ride on the horses rump). And that little thing, can say wooo with the best of em!! It's pretty much her favorite thing to do. Walk 5 feet, say woooo, stratch the horses neck, walk 5 feet, say wooo, scratch the horses neck, and repeat. Takes about 2 hours to cover an acre, but man it's fun!! I look forward so much to being a dad that it's those silly things that bring the most joy.
Wow...that kinda hit me in a place I forgot I had.
I'm glad your enjoying life with your daughter Yoey. There is no better way to spend a day.
Like Jerry said, cherish it cause they grow up fast.
And trust me it hurts.
wooooo :biggrin:
ditto to what the other guys said.
Beautiful daughter, enjoy the family !
Pop in if ya get time. :wink:

I sure hope Todd was interrupted in the middle of his sentence and it ended with "
time to turn calls". But only Todd knows for sure.
Jerry
:alscalls: Can I re vote on the edit time issue? :alscalls:
I'll go back and fix it, but for some reason the whole post was there. There was actually more too it, but when I hit the enter button it gave me an error page. So I figured it didn't go and thought I would do it again when I had a lil more time. Maybe I should have checked. Wish I could say there was an escape or a riot but it aint so. :innocentwhistle:
Actually wont fix it, it'll just confuse the issue after the last couple of post. Man to be honest I'm laughing so hard at that mistake I have tears in my eyes.
Ok, Joey this is what I started with:
Hey Joey, glad ya could stop by, but even happier your getting some quality time with that lil cute as a button girl of yours. She looking a lot like mom, but with your hair color.
(Todd-Crosses his fingers this one goes through, but really how much worse could it be right?) :alscalls:
This penalty has been declined.
2nd down.
LOL Everyone had a chance to reply to that post before I saw it. Soooo let's just say thanks, and me too! :biggrin:
I already told the wife about this coming week getting some time to clean up the shop and do a little work. I let everyone know if I make it out alive...
