Talked to Mike on the phone the other day and he sent me this. Beautiful call and a super nice guy. Very nice addition to my scratcher collection. :you_rock:

That is a nice looking scratcher!
Me like that!
Congrats on a fine call!
Great call!!
I have one of Mike's scratch boxes and I like it. We actually made it together in his shop. It was a lot of fun. Great call to have in your vest too! We stopped and had dinner (Wings and a beer) then we went to his shop and put this scratch box together and had fun with the inscription on the back of the call :)

That's cool! Love the writing. :funnyturkey:
I picked up a scratch box and a short box from Mike while in Nashville. Both are flat out killers. My buddy bought the long box I was running that was Mike's last one at the show before I could get my money out to buy it. LOL I sat and talked to Mike for a good while and not only is he a champion callmaker but a real gentleman.
I agree Rickey about Mike. He is a great friend that also happens to be a great Callmaker!
Too cool. Love the inscriptions, bet they sound great too. :you_rock:
Thanks Guys!! That was a fun evening wings, beer and callmaking 8)
Mike
Rickey You are dead on! Mike is a great friend and mentor, and one of the finest callmakers out there!
I've got something similar. I believe it's called a Lost John. Guy in Morgantown, WV made them. The striker was a piece of chalk. All my grandfather ever used when I got to hunt with him. I've got his old one that he gave me when he replaced it. Sounds good if you know how to run it. Took me a while to get the hang of it though. Not your typical scratcher.

Both are great gentlemen. Mike Lapp and John Sisler. Proud to call them both friends.
Great inscription! Picked one up in Nashville. Great caller!!
