Jim, I had this one here on my desk waiting for a customer to pick it up. This one is made from zebrawood and I have them in other woods as well.

Squirrel hunting is kinda my opener for the season, Nasty~
It weans me from the fishing season and gets me into the state of mind needed to head after the yotes.

Sometimes this time of year, I find myself wondering aimlessly around the driveway out here with a pole in one hand and a rifle in the other. :doh2:

Blacky,

Jerry, I sent you a PM with the information you wanted.

The call arrived today and you did a nice job on it.  I took it out of the package and tried it in the dining room, but no squirrel showed up.  (Well, maybe the big one holding the call, but that didn't count.)  I may need to take it to the woods and try again.

Got mine also :yoyo: :yoyo: Very nice Gene.

I only got one gripe, and it's nothing major. And that is that the bellow doesn't fit the call body very well. It fits, but it likes to fall off.
Don't be offended, just being honest. No canned praise. :wink:
I'm going to glue it on, and all will be fine.

Now, with that said, I need to also mention that I really like the way you have these things set up. I've had squirrel calls before that worked just the opposite way of what you got going here. I dont know if this is your idea or if they are all suppose to be this way.
I'm talking about how you have the bellow on the opposite end of the call so that it pulls air through the reed instead of pushing air into the reed. I think it sounds 100% better your way, and offers a whole lot more control of the sound.

Thanks again for the opportunity, and I can guarantee there'll be some tree rats shot over this new toy :biggrin:

I'll need to make a trip over to the Post Office and see if my two examples arrived.  :biggrin:

Guys, I make the call so that the bellows will slip on and off easy because with the bellows off you can blow into the other end of the call and make the rabbit in distress sound. I maybe should have mentioned that in my post.

Jim, it could be I got yours a little loose. I hope you can work with it but if not, let me know and I will send you another call at no expense to you.

Yes coyote I have. I was making those for a show I did this past weekend so I haven't been here to post anymore until this morning.
I got some good comments on the squirrel calls during the show and even sold a few.   :biggrin:

Nope Gene, she's fine.   :wink: I never thought of leaving them loose for that.
Like I said, I glued mine on and she's perfect. :yoyo:
