Title: Some'a my calls.
Post by: Todd Rahm on October 25, 2006, 07:24:26 PM
These are made by Larry of Ridgeviewer calls..........and if ya have one to part with I'm always look'n for them.  :biggrin:

This first pic has one of two open reeds that didn't have the emblem, and the second two were from a set of five made for a call contest. (Three of which I have, and Ryan of RAW calls is going to sell me the other two.)  :innocentwhistle: WEll maybe he won't  :biggrin:

This set was made for a mutual friend of mine and Larry's, and the support the red medallion.  :wink:

This last one is one of my favorites and also made for the contest. Its made from a  banksi pod (sp)

Todd,

I have two of Patrick's calls, but mine are both pre-label.  I look at them like pre-warning barrels on some of my firearms.

Well fellas I'll share a few more pics then I'll have ya give me your email if interested, and I'll invite ya to see the photo album. At this time its mostly custom, and a few odd pics.

I just relized I have to take some of my older production calls out of the cabinet to make room for more customs.  :shck:

I filled the card up with 83 pictures  :biggrin:....................three times today.  :whew:

Be safe,

Title: Re: Some'a my calls.
Post by: FinsnFur on October 26, 2006, 07:58:56 AM
Dayyyy  aaaam.... you have got some pretty wild suff there. That is awesome.
Question...how many years worth do you got? How long you been collecting?
Title: Re: Some'a my calls.
Post by: Hawks Feather on October 26, 2006, 07:59:23 AM
Todd,

What a great collection.  I was wondering if you had any Rhino calls, and there they were.  They were the ones that got me started collecting several years ago.  I am in awe.    :highclap:           :highclap:           :highclap:

Post by: Todd Rahm on October 26, 2006, 09:55:37 AM
Heck Jim thats a tricky question. On a safe bett lets say been doing it for six years, but mostly customs for the last 2&1/2 years, with the odd oldy thrown in. The only calls I really took pics of yesterday were the customs though.

Hawk Uncle Jay Nistetter can be considered a strong contributer to my collecting, and a big help if Ihave any questions. Between him and Al Lux I have learned a lot and I am still learning. I'm a big fan of the Rhino calls and seek them evry chance I can, and theres a few I saw that I didn't get, but I'm always watching.

Theres plenty more, but it takes a lot of time to up load, and resize them. I'll take my time doing that and when I get more free time I'll pop in maybe and add some reading to the photos.

Thanks fellas,
Todd

the little short laminated one with the green in it is screaming my name.  Know where I can find one similar to that?
Title: Re: Some'a my calls.
Post by: Bob D on October 26, 2006, 01:19:38 PM
Hey Todd,
Your collection is very interesting. I know it would be alot of trouble but could you stick the callmakers names with the callers. I recognize some of the calls but most I don't. It would help the new callers who haven't been around as long as others have.Thanks.
Bob
Title: Re: Some'a my calls.
Post by: Todd Rahm on October 26, 2006, 03:15:37 PM
Bob it won't be any trouble...it'll just take some time, but can make it happen.

LK.......... I'm having some puter troubles at work and I'm not sure which one I posted but I think I have two calls that meet your discription......one is a Cooper Call and the other is from Lynn of TNT Game Calls, but I'll check when i can and se which one is up. Lynn has his own web site and ya cna get a hold of Cooper through Texas Predator Posse hand calls forum, or I might have his email addy some where at home.


Be safe,
Todd

I got this bonus THO call with two other calls the other day. It has a freaking awesome cocobolo barrel witha  moose antler ring, and a black wood mouth piece.  :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie:

Thanks Al this is very nice. I'll get the other two pics up soon...bad camera skills ruined the first set.  :innocentwhistle:

Hey Todd,

Glad you liked that one.  I thought that cocobolo blank was pretty neat too. 

Jim,

Don't know, never tried ivory.  I actually have some on order to mess around with for a call I am working on for the CCAA Fancy Call Contest.  Well, a tusk anyway, guess it would be considered ivory. 

If you hear screaming and shouting coming from the east, you will know I messed it up LOL.
