Title: Sharpe pair
Post by: Rapscallion Vermilion on August 12, 2018, 02:56:10 PM
Several years ago, when I was just learning to turkey hunt, the first gobbler I ever called in was a gobbling jake deep in the Gila National Forest.  It's the only jake I've ever killed, but it remains a very memorable hunt and I was very proud of the accomplishment. I also saved both wings thinking some day I could maybe have wingbones made.  Two years ago I sent both wings to Mark Sharpe and he made the top wingbone below.  I was so happy with the sound and Mark's work that I asked him to save the remaining bones and this summer he made the bottom one.  My hunting buddy has a set of bearded hen wings with Mark now, so there is a likely trade down the road.  Thanks again Mark.

Very nice.  My experience with his calls are they are flat out killers.   Fine fellar making fine calls.  Anyone that doesn't have one of Marks calls, or as I call him Mr. Sharpay, should consider getting one.

Congrats on a couple killers!

I couldn't agree more with you EZ, Mark is a fine gentleman and one heck of a callmaker. Congrats Rapscallion Vermilion :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
