Still on cloud 9!
« on: February 16, 2020, 04:10:36 PM »



Just made it home from the NWTF convention. We're so very humbled and honored to have received this award. We've been chasing this award for what seems like a lifetime, although it's only been 13 years.  :) Still feeling pretty numb. It was an honor and privilege to compete alongside the best call makers in the country. We have nothing but respect for all you guys. Thank you to everyone who offered up their heartfelt congrats, whether in person, texts, or the many messages in my voicemail when we got home! Means everything to us both! Not sure exactly how Josh is feeling, but I do know my stress and anxiety level will be much lower going to the show next time knowing the Gibson Award isn't just a dream any more! :happy0064: Best part is we did it as a team! So proud of Josh, he's always hung in there, and never gave up. He's always said we'd get it someday. Can't say I've always had that faith, but we did it! Again, it was an honor to compete with all the great calls entered this year by some great call makers. A big congrats to everyone who entered calls this year!! Can't wait to see all you guys next year.

Congrads to both of you! Sounds like you both earned it! Persistence almost always pays off. To be honest I wasn't aware that you guys made any hen boxes. I'll have to get one from you one day!

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