Here are the calls I picked up at Unicoi for a good buddy that did not feel like making the trip.

Mike Lapp all-Butternut short box (really hard to let this one go)



Darrin Dawkins Walnut over Butternut short box (I got myself one just like it while there)



Marlin Watkins Bloodwood over mineral Poplar short box



Darrin Dawkins Red Cedar over Walnut paddle



Marlin Watkins Bloodwood over mineral Poplar paddle



Lamar Williams all-Walnut handled box call



Lon Trice Cocobolo glass/glass





Darrin Dawkins slate in plastic pot (sounds so good we bought three)

Thanks. I sent them to him today. Hard to let a couple of them go. I believe he will be pleased when he runs them.

I had ordered an all-walnut handled box call for myself from Lamar and he had an extra my buddy bought. One of the best sounding boxes I have heard with drenalinld running it. Darrin had the walnut paddle call for the show but I got it real early. I will post the calls I got myself tomorrow.

You definitely need to make the Unicoi show Bob. I enjoyed it so much more than Nashville. You could visit with the callmakers and actually hear them. Plus all the great calls that were there. We are planning to go back next year and take our wives. They would love the town of Helen. (Not the turkey calls)

If the situation had been reversed he would have done it for me.

I've found that turkey hunters can make some of the best of friends!
