A post looooong overdue. Al's Calls

[msmith]

Last spring, just before I disappeared from the face of the internet, I contacted Al Collins to see about getting a box call made and to purchase a really sweet looking closed reed predator call. Well he came through for me but I drug my feet at making a post about it because I was really hoping for a hero shot with Josh and me. It never came to fruition and I got busy at work and on the farm and didn't have time to sit at the computer so this post became somewhat belated.

Anyway...Al came through BIG TIME. This is one sweet call and has a spot on our fireplace mantle. Not only did he come through with the box call, but he included a couple pieces of the wood for me to be able to turn a call or two. Whatta guy! I am waiting til I get a little better at call making so that I can do the wood and Al justice.

Thank you so much Al Collins! I do appreciate the calls and the wood.

Here it is!





And here is the closed reed. My Pumpkin Pie confiscated it so that SHE would hve something for when she went hunting with me.
