    I’ve Been Busy-Turkey Season is Coming

    Thank you for the kind words and I am glad you like your trumpet, I surely do appreciate it!! It was fun to work through the build with you! Sure hope to see a picture with it on a big ol bird this spring!!

    I’ve Been Busy-Turkey Season is Coming

    I think there are a bunch of factors including predation and disease. I know that the decline started with a late hard freeze up here that eliminated a food source, at least I started noticing the next few following years. Had a bunch of turkeys, then they are just gone. Another thing to pay...

    I grew up in Northwest Mississippi. Had a buddy come to Arkansas this weekend to fill up on calls for their season. I wish the biologists would figure out this decline in birds, its gettin depressing!

    I’ve Been Busy-Turkey Season is Coming

    This is a busy part of the year for call makers. With duck and deer seasons behind, I have been swamped with the diaphragms, box calls, scratch boxes and trumpets! I try to keep a few on hand in case somebody wants one already made instead of a custom build. Here are a few that I finished up...

    Has anyone here successfully barked a squirrel?

    Ive never tried to bark a squirrel but maybe I should have learned. Most old timers in both sides of my family would change moods real fast when you would show them how good of a shot that you are with a bunch of head shot squirrels. Hard to eat squirrel brains and eggs if you don't have any...
