            know some of you guys have tryed his calls ?So I will wait a little while and see how many replies
            I get on a certain wood combo.

Every call I've ever ran from Mike is vest worthy. I'd talk to him about the hen sounds you like and the wood that he has currently that is making good calls. If he mails you a call you'll be happy with it.

Mike is a nice guy, I will be getting some from him before next Spring. Not sure what to tell you for combos, walnut walnut always seems to be a good combination from every maker.

Spring creek is tough call to beat. I like his walnut/cedar and I've had several blood wood calls. Hes working on another for me now.
