Me and my younger son left early yesterday morning and made the run out to see our buddy Marlin.  Had a GREAT visit !!! Talked turkey......turkey calls.......deer.......dogs......bears......and about a thousand other things. Rode around in the Gator and checked a bunch of food plots. And the best bonus every time I go there......... I get to run about 100 of the best sounding box calls you'll ever hold in your hand. The hard part is deciding which one(s) to bring home. Yesterday, only one followed me home. A mahogany one-sider with a beech paddle. UNREAL sound !!! But there was another one.......a paddle caller that I may call up and have him mail it to me. It was probably the best running paddle caller I ever held.

Then for the bonus round !!! Stopped at an ABC store on the way home and scored 4 bottles of a bourbon that I'll never lay eyes on in my home state. Win, win !!!

Long day. Lotta miles on the truck. But a GREAT visit with a GREAT guy.  Great day !!!!!!!

Nice, that's a sweet one sided!
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

Finding the bourbon was just LIKE winning the lottery.  But, dang.......... I shoulda bought a ticket.  LOL !!
