Here's my "Ugly Betty"

Coulter · June 08, 2007, 06:47:55 PM

So how about an ugly call contest – this is truly an Ugly Betty of the predator call world. It has a tremendous amount of heart...literally – it is made of a yellowheart barrel and a purpleheart stopper. This girl is butt ugly, but brimming with confidence, she sounds absolutely awesome! Sorry I don't have a sound clip Jim;

I have to find a mic input for my computer to record a sound file, I think that is all I am missing.

Anyway, here she is...one of a kind and never to be made again. She is armed with a double stainless steel reed.

I simply can't bear to make ugly calls. It has to be pretty ugly when the creator gives a critique of this kind. I have better plans in mind for a two piece predator call, time to head to the shop. Wish me luck

Beauty is only skin deep and goes beyond the eye of the beholder.

I don't think it's that ugly. But I guess I was looking at her features lick a sick pervert.

I'm gonna have a couple beers and come back around 2:30 am and appraise her and see if it changes how I feel

Hell it aint that bad!! I would use it if it has good sound. That one could be a workhorse for you. It looks stout enough.

coyotehunter_1 · June 08, 2007, 09:15:19 PM

Ugly? Shoot no... It looks like a well built and solid call to me. I like the style and I'll bet it sounds great too.

You got to remember.... purdy don't call coyotes.

Edit: You wanting to sell her or keep her for yourself?

coyotehunter...this is going to break my heart, but she is all yours if you will have her. Who would of thought there would be a market for an "Ugly Betty" :roflmao: :roflmao: shoot me your mailing address and I 'll get her on her way.

So did she look any better after some good medication and lack of sleep Jim :roflmao: :roflmao:

I've gotta work on some more aesthetically appealing calls now.

FinsnFur · June 09, 2007, 09:55:42 AM

Yeah she looked a lot better once I got all tanked up. But I found myself wanted to beat Chets ass for hittin on her and decided to go to bed.

Coulter · June 09, 2007, 12:32:26 PM

Don't sweat it Jim...Ugly Betty has a half sister. her complexion is a bit on the darker side, but she is a real looker for a heavy set gal.

I just finished turning her, but to be fair I can't show any pics until she is completely finished

Well, I have seen a lot of calls that would fit under the "Ugly Betty" title,

and thats not one of them.

Maybe the "Plain Jane", but heck she still looks good to me.

So why exactly do ya think she's ugly?

cb223 · June 09, 2007, 05:15:30 PM

I don't think it is that bad either. I've seen alot worse!

rwehuntn · June 09, 2007, 05:32:50 PM

I don't think ugly is appropriate either. Plain call but just because it is plain doesn't make it ugly. I think the call is nice, has a good finish and the colors go well together.

Coulter · June 09, 2007, 05:59:21 PM

Well thanks you all very much. I guess I see it as ugly mainly because it just didn't turn out the way I was expecting. I have another near done, but I have to get the finish completed on it before I can take any pics. This one turned out the way I was expecting after I made a few modifications to the design. I'll post some pics when it is finished.

HaMeR · June 09, 2007, 09:52:24 PM

You may feel that call is ugly but it sure beats some of those dowel rods with grooves around em & holes drilled thru the middle that I've seen!! I still think it's a nice lookin call!!

Coulter · June 10, 2007, 06:51:36 AM

Chet... I don't run an escort service here, but I'll try to keep the cat in the bag about you insisting on paying for your ladies

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

I guess I'll have to try harder if I want to stand a chance at winning the ugly call contest...hhhhmmmm

what other astrocity can I conjure up

bowjunkie · June 10, 2007, 07:56:46 AM

Definately not ugly. You can call 'er Betty, but not ugly. Good job.

Coulter · June 10, 2007, 08:09:32 PM

Well, I'm glad you like your new toy Ed. I'll see if I can find a pic to post for ya. I just finished up Betty's younger (better lookin'

) sister, Ill try and get a pic of that posted too if I can get my stinkin' camera to download the file.

Sorry Ed, I must have neglected to take a pic of your call. I let one slip by me dang it - my apologies

Steve,
Miss Betty found her way to Tennessee today.

She's not a bad looker at all... no way is she ugly! You did a great job tuning her up too.

She has a great personality, fantastic voice and is quite the screamer.

I am satisfied she will do very well.

Chet
