Beard Hunter Turkey Calls

I met Russell Beard the very first time he came to Perry, GA. Since that meeting we have become the best of friends, talking to each other every day, and sometimes 2 or 3 or 4 times a day. We've exchanged several calls down through the years. But, this year Russell just blew me away. I had sent Brian Aliff one of my business cards to draw me a logo from so I could put on some shirts and caps. Little did I know where else they would show up, but here is where............

Man, I just stood in awe!!! Russell, my friend, you are a class act!
While there, I also picket up a long box made of bloodwood over walnut. Man, what a box too! Walnut is like fine wine, it just gets better with age! Next I picked up one of his new single-siders....yellow-heart with mahogany soundboard! Two more very fine callers. Thanks Russell, you're a good a friend as a fellow could ever have !!!

Mark , looks like you struck the jackpot there. Those are some fine looking calls. The pots are beautiful and getting Brian to add his artistic talent was a wonderful gesture by Russell. Two awesome boxes as well. Congrats to you and a great friend. Looking forward to seeing you in Nashville and to getting myself one of those sweet one siders.

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

I have ordered strikers from Russell a few times.  You are right, he is a class act and builds some great calls.  I'm glad to see that he's getting some recognition here.  Thanks for posting.

Congrats Mark. I know you and Russell are good friends. Great calls from a really nice guy. My calls from Russell are pure turkey.

Thanks guys!!

Rickey, I got to playing that little one-sider at the show the last couple days. Man, you can get down so low with those kee-kee's. Those little calls are just right to slip in your shirt pocket and go. But, it is also deceptive. There are some full sized turkey sounds coming from that little box as well!!

That little one-sider will be a turkey killer this spring. I plan to carry mine to Mississippi in mid-March.
