Title: Outstanding miniboat
Post by: crow on September 19, 2024, 04:34:58 PM
Yesterday I got to hold one of prettiest box calls I've ever seen. Curly (sugar) maple over the same peice of Curly maple wood for the box. Beautiful figured peice of wood and the curls on the lid line up perfect with the box.                        Hopefully some of this wood went for a long rifle stock. It's a Ralph Snodgrass Lightning Strike miniboat. Sounds great, several turkeys on each side including kee kees on both sides. As I  understand it, it will be sold at Unicoi this year

Truth!

Crow - I know you're still big on rotary dial telephone technology, but if you can get a smartphone pic of that maple/maple box and send it to me, I'll post it for you.

Pictures of box calls only! Double check what's attached before you hit the send button!!!  :TooFunny:  :TooFunny:

My Snozz maple over persimmon. Been with me almost 20 years spring and fall chasing turkeys, can't even begin to count the birds that have come to this.

So, your saying no pics from the bikini models holding box calls he has made up every year.                Got it, I'll try to get back over and snap a few on the old Polaroid. He's serious about it not being sold until unicoi, I asked about posting this beforehand
