Singing the praises of Houndstooth

Just wanted to step up here and sing the praises of Lyle and Houndstooth Game Calls.  I ordered a deer antler tube call from him last winter (which was awesome), and figured I'd try out a few of his mouth calls while I was at it.

I've been playing fits lately with big manufacturers and inconsistent mouth calls.  Haven't had much luck with smaller operations either, because they either get big and I run into the same problems, or they go out of business and I can't replace them when I need to.

Lyle is a hoot to talk to on the phone.  Straight good ol boy from Abalama who'd probably turn into a turkey if he was given the chance.  Seems like every time I talked to him he was packing up headed out on another turkey trip somewhere.  He always had a few minutes to talk turkey and ALWAYS got me what I needed in no time.  My last call was a hail mary after I ripped one of his calls.  Of course, he was packing up headed turkey hunting, but took the time to not only ship me out replacement calls, but he tweaked them a bit for me to fine tune the sound I was looking for.

I can't say enough about his dedication and customer service.  Calls sound great too.  Now if you get too big and start sending out mass produced, non-consistent calls, I'll probably call you out on it...

I've put 7 birds on the ground with them this year already, and the season's only half over.

Thanks again Lyle.  You're one class act.
