Here's a cow horn howler that I finished up last night. I'm trying a couple of new things to try and raise the bar for myself, so to speak. Trouble is, what's in my mind, and the cow horn, don't always cooperate! This howler has already been sold. I did a few others that I'll maybe post at another time for sale? Don't want to bore folks with my follies. LOL! Thanks for looking!

as always your work is simply amazing.
Your work keeps getting better. Thanks for sharing!
I was looking for a place to vote on this call and seeing none, I just don't know how I feel about it. I really think it should come here, but since it is already taken that can't happen. I was thinking of that poor deer that is just out of reach of the critter. But then I though how hungry that critter probably is and that it needs to eat. I was just starting to think of something else when I thought that it was time for my meds! :shck: (Just kidding - no meds, just coffee.)
Dave,
As always, you have done an outstanding job on both the call and the carving. You may not think of yourself as an artist, but you certainly are talented.
Man, I have had that very same dream, sitting in my tree stand during deer season and getting a two for -
That is just wonderful. I think it might be time for you to enter one in the CCAA Fancy Call Contest in St Charles. They think predator hunters are all hacks LOL You would surely set them back on their heels.

You have got to be kidding me Dave. :sneer:
For someone to be bored with your work would have to mean they are much better then yourself at what you are doing, and have gone beyond ...and honestly I haven't seen it yet. :nono:
Keep it up
FNF is right Dave. You are a true artist at work. Keep them coming so we have something to strive for. I know I never get bored with your work and am always looking forward to seeing more. Brian.
Dave,
I can only wish I could carve like that! Outstanding work!

Folks, all I can say is "Thank you" for the kind words, and encouragement you've provided. I'm still learning as I go. Brad H said something a while back about "wishing one could get back some of their early works in the way of calls." I find that so true. But I guess in a way, those first calls layed the foundation that we build on today? Just have to move forward and test yourself. I myself need to learn "patience". I'll start a call and work like a fiend to complete it. Then once its done, I'll look back on it and see things I could have done to have made it better. So hopefully the next one will benefit from what I learned on the predecessor. One of these days I'll enter something in a competition? When that time comes, it's going to be something that will make us "hacks" LOL! proud. So bear with me. In the meantime, it is truly an honor to receive compliments on this board by the finest predator "Call Makers" to come along. Thanks to all!
Dave
Dave,
I agree with Al and I am proud to own a few of your earlier calls and I won't give them up without a fight. Love your work and appreciate your talent!!!
