Title: Been awhile.
Post by: Crawdad on May 16, 2015, 02:26:58 PM
Since I posted a Trumpet, been hunting for a while, notice I said hunting ( No killing) I hate to say I will probably have to give up Turkey hunting, I just can't get going anymore. My back & hips won't let me make a move on them, my hips lock up on me after a short distance, guess I need hip replacements, I can just barely make it to my first set up & after that I am done. Spent lot's of money ( I didn't have) & lots of time & travel, never fired a shot. Oh well, I enjoyed being out. This Trumpet is all Ivory made for Mike in Joplin. We talked about this a couple months ago & just now getting it done. I was a nervous wreck while turning it.(http://i61.tinypic.com/2db6n1v.jpg)

Robert, that is a really fine looking call.  I hope you find a way to keep hunting.  I hunted with an 80 year old fellow with bad knees this year. He could only go about 200 yards, but managed to bag a really nice gobbler.

That is one awesome looking call Robert and I am sure that it speaks plenty of turkey.  Man I hear you on the pins and needles part while you were making that one!!!  I personally hate turning Ivory for that simple reason.  Making calls for me is supposed to be stress free but when making a call using Ivory I stress out!!!  Mike is going to love that one for sure!!!!!!!!

HOLY ELEPHANT TUSKS BATMAN!!! What a beaut! I would be afraid to mail it out, most likely drive to Joplin and deliver it by hand! Great job, Robert!
