Title: Call Cases
Post by: hunter22 on January 18, 2016, 06:55:14 PM
I added another cabinet over the weekend to store calls. I am rearranging and trying to get my calls where you can see them.

This is a qtr sewn oak china cabinet I just got. It has 51 calls in in it. Top row---Lamar Williams, 2nd row----Albert Paul, 3rd row---Steve Mann, 4th row----Darrin Dawkins/Chuck Anderson, bottom----Marlin Watkins.

Another case I had built some time ago but have rearranged where calls can now be seen. 42 calls in this case.

I have spent some hours in this room. Cannot wait to see this new case and several added calls since our last visit. Very nice cabinet, Rickey.

Lord have mercy Rickey. Hopefully one day I will not have to hide my addiction from the wife and can buy some display cases. Very Impressive!

It is definitely an addiction. My ole buddy Zumer told me years ago to get out while I still could and I failed to listen to his advice. I have one more case full of box calls that has 55 in it and I have over 40 box calls in leather and soft cases scattered about and hanging in the room. Not sure which is more of a sickness, the hunting or the call collecting.

Rickey,

    You've done very very well collecting your calls....Your arsenal is filled with fine sounding calls..

    Think about all the fun times just sitting around learning to play them and the great hunts, you've had using them...Sharing them with friends & dinner at your house has to be a special time, too....

    I can assure you, that you Sir, are not alone in your addiction, sickness, or illness..... ::)  :help:

    Congrats on all your calls..... :icon_thumright:

Sir,
I've always enjoyed viewing the posts of your calls, and this is no exception.
But, I advise discretion.
Please don't take this as critical, as it is not meant that way, but I wouldn't broadcast to the world such a collection. 
I would hate to log on here and read a post about a stolen call collection.

Thanks for the concern. My home is protected by ADT and Smith & Wesson and both work pretty well.

I understand completely.  My home has similair defense measures.
And, congrats on such a collection!

Yes ole friend, you definitely have a problem.  BUT I think you are handling it well and I think organizing them into such an awesome display is a good therapy option for cold winter days!  And think of the good you are doing by sharing with the rest of us!   :D Love seeing your collection!  :you_rock: ONE OF THESE DAYS...in person!   ;D

.......no point in stopping now!  :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
