Never heard of him but sure reminds me of a Custom Kee howler for sure.

Thanks for the name of the call maker. I knew someone else was making them. the biggest problem is the horn is too long and it sounds like a elk bugle rather then a coyote howl. if someone would buy one and cut the horn down they would have a dang nice sounding howler.

They look to be cheaper in cost than most I have seen.

I don't think any will ever compare to the ones Rich Higgins made.

My buffalo horn breaks off from time to time and I have to re-glue it. If it ever gets lost or meets some tragic demise I will beg BigBen to make me a replacement.. Or is BigB going to start making some?????????????????????

I was typing as Ben was posting.

Ben you are correct the horn on that guys E.L.K. howler is way to long..

Holy Smokes!!! That fella pulled that horn from a extra long Texas Longhorn!!!

I agree with Ben. Cut it down at least in half and you'd have a good howler.

I turned Kee down years back when he asked me to do some collaboration howlers with him. Looking back on it now, it probably was a project I should have accepted?

Dave you need to re-visit making these.. I am sure you could sell quiet a few.

The only STO I knew of was Steve Taylor Outdoors. He's been around a long while, but not sure if ts the same guy as names an logos bleed over or around a bit these days.

I've never used a latex howler, so there's no way I'd start making them. I too was eyeing a Kee howler when he used to make them, but never did pull the trigger on getting one. I'm kicking myself now for not getting one.
