Title: A special call to me
Post by: mspaci on February 08, 2016, 07:19:45 PM
Received this call in the mail today. Its nothing special in appearence, but has nice sound. I havent seen it in about 20 years. I think its all mahogany & its a cut & glued box. It was made near hunter mt in NY`s Catskills circa late 80`s. It belonged to my father in law & he used it to call in my first 2 birds in the spring of 86. Its what got my going in our sport. After his death it went missing & recently turned up at my nephews in Texas & he thought I should have it. It was a total surprise in the mail today & I thought you all might like to see it.  I may take it with this year & kill one in memory of the old man. Mike
