Not wanting to sound totally ignorant here but what kind of sounds do they make and can I speak up for the darkest colored one. If Donny and I can have as much fun with ma with this one as we had with the box call it is a cheap price to pay. :wo:
Well they make mostly turkey sounds Barry :doh2: Sorry I couldn't resist...they all make the basic yelps, clucks, purrs and if your good and know how then they can do the kee-kee run too.
You want the Cocobolo...2nd from the left?

not to jump in on the thread but they are VERY beautiful calls Steve. OUTSTANDING :yoyo:
Bopeye could I get a hand here please. Somebody needs a bite me :shrug: Yes Steve I'd like the whatever you called it wood. We have no wild turkey's up here and I have a theory I want to test out. I'm going to take both boy's out with a turkey call each and see if we can't get a coyote to come in even though they have never heard one. It will also give the youngun's another story and if they ever do go turkey hunting at least they won't be as ignorant as their old man about what sounds they make.
Okee doke Barry...I'll get it in the mail to you. Sure takes a long time to get to your neck of the woods, but it will be on its way. By the way, I hear stories of guys calling in coyotes with turkey calls every spring. I think it's usually the young of the year that come to the call, but hey a coyote is a coyote. They ususally have decoys out as well, but I don't think that is completely necessary for your purposes.
Thanks Vic...
Steve
Barry..Your wife is gonna bounce that thing right off your head like a hockey puck if you play it in the house!!!..... :laf:

Actually my wife is very understanding about these things. She understands that if she tell's me to take a hike that it can sometimes take a week to find my way back home. :innocentwhistle:
Those calls are beautiful....oddly enough I have noticed while looking around at various custom and mass manufactured calls....the price is pretty darned close between them and sometimes the store boughten calls are more expensive then the custom calls....theres no comparison in the looks I can see that.

That's so true. With that in mind, I rarely buy a store bought call anymore. If I don't make it, I buy it from a custom maker.
Those are some shweet lookin' calls.

There just aren't enopugh hours in the day. But I do almost have the home page done...so Jim, you can be expecting another phone call any day now.
Thanks for the kind words...
