huntn4bucks Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Well I've kind of been missing in action for awhile because this hobby of mine has turned into a lot of work. Here are a few calls leaving the "shop" this week...actually it's a side room in my garage. I think I'm finally caught up. Enjoy!

punkinslinger Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Sweet....which combo has the best sound in your opinion??? I like raspy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntn4bucks Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 The call that I have in my turkey vest is a black walnut & maple call. It is similiar to the one in the next to last picture. Personally I like that combo the best...it has been the demise of many gobblers. My mahogany & black walnut calls probably have more rasp than any of my other calls. It's a fine line when it comes to tuning...you can't put the wood back on after it's been shaved off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covehnter Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Awesome!! Its been awhile seen i've layed my eyes on that fine work of yours. . . . . I like that maple too but man that cedar just grabs my attention every time, isnt that cedar on 2nd row of the 2nd group pic? Beautiful call!! I think it's just the darker colors.

Yeah, the first call on the left side of the 2nd group pic is cedar and poplar. I haven't heard from you in awhile. How are things going? Are you still going to Colorado elk hunting this fall? I'm trying to put together a New Zealand turkey hunt next year. Think about it and let me know if you would like to go. New Zealand's spring time is actually September - November. I'm thinking that I'll actually be able to go back to South Florida this spring...after missing the last two. Give me a buzz sometimes and we can discuss the details.

maytom Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Nice workmanship. Seems that a lot of folks are into making calls these days. One of the bigger issues is not hearing them first hand. While not knocking your calls, a lot of calls look great, but when it comes to the sound, they don't make the cut. If your calls sound as good as they look, you sure have a winner on your hands. WTG!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been making calls for about 6-7 years now and believe me...there have been many that made it to the burn box instead of the woods.
