A Buice trumpet,  Dawkins box, Misfire slate with a few strikers and a Bearded Hen glass.

Love that Buice!  And yes I think everyone saw those birds down by the creek.  They are always there.

I know I'm posting these pictures wrong,  they're coming up sideways,  but I had to post the backside of that Misfire slate.

Beautiful work...

 The pics aren't posted wrong, that's a steeeep hill they're walking up to get out of the vally.

Lol Bob, I'm a Lowcountry swamp hunter so maybe the mountains threw me off!

I wanted to pick up a couple more calls and Bob one of your boxes was a call on the list. You were on the same stretch with James,  Darrin, Lon and Lamar.  Every time I came by there seems like I got blocked. Some tire kickers trying to haggle. I still want a box, I'll pm you.

That Buice trumpet is my first trumpet,  it was the first call on my list, been wanting to learn the trumpet for a few years now and had my heart set on a Buice.

Never had played a trumpet before, I didn't want to sound like a jack@ss so I waited till I got to the truck,  couldn't get a sound for hell, got down the road to Toccoa and tried again at a gas station. ..terrible,  nothing.
Got back home still no sound.

Got some great advice from a great pot call maker a couple of days later! Don't pop, draw air and use your lips as the reed. We'll I'm now putting together some great cadences and I will feel comfortable with the trumpet to hunt it this season,  plus I have a new addiction!

I also have to say that the Dawkins box is as smooth as silk, it will likely be the first call to come out of the vest this Spring!

Nice, what is the wood combo on the Dawkins box?
