Two years ago somebody here posted a picture of a Preacherman (Jody Harrison) box call, I saw that and commented something to the effect of "That's cool, I have to get my Pastor one of those Preacherman calls somehow, this will be his first year turkey hunting" Low and behold somebody anonymously purchased a beautiful zebra wood and walnut box call for my Pastor. (Box call and picture of my Pastor with it pictured below. I'm the furry guy)
I wanted to get my Pastor something to match the call and contacted Jody about making him a pot call of zebra wood and walnut. Jody let me know it was done today and posted these pictures on his Facebook page. (Pictures shared with his permission)

Now I just have to wait for this social distancing to let up so I can give it to him at Church. (Sorry, pictures came out in reverse.)
Really nice looking calls. I'm sure he will love it.

He has meant a lot to me over the years, we have butted heads a time or two, but I have always respected the man. He has given me some pretty good preaching over the years, this is the least I can do.

Thank you and I sure hope some. Going to be tempting not to play it myself before I give it to him. lol I picked up a mouth call and a t-shirt from Preacherman (Jody) for myself.
Kudos to you. Really cool gesture, He is going to love and enjoy it.
Nice call and great to share an activity that touches our soul.
Very nice gesture!! I only have one small issue.....when you gave him the box call you could have at least smiled for the picture! :TooFunny:

I know it sure touches my soul, when I had my car accident and could not really hunt for 17 years it was not the thought of deer, or bear, or elk all of which I wanted to hunt that kept running though my mind, it was turkey and the thought of getting my first one that kept running through my mind and kept me working with my doctor to find meds that would help me get back out there. I was able to get my first last year and it is something that did so much to bring me joy and bolster my confidence in myself. This year I will be calling for my landlords grand daughter and for my Paster a bit, I have never really called for somebody before and I am looking forward to it, even though I am a bit nervous about it.

I did not want to crack the lens. Actually I had a bad tooth at the time that had just been pulled and I was kinda self conscience about it, turned out it would not have shown anyway.
What a great gesture to thank him.
very nice , great job Sir-

He's a good guy. I love a Pastor that tells you to read your Bible and if you see someplace he is wrong that you should call him on it in front of the congregation. Much different than the "Take my word for it" church I grew up in.

How about using an old camo t-shirt or a camo handkerchief?

I did find some for 6.95 shipped. I have never heard of the pattern, but it looks like it should do. Thanks for the idea though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Next-Camo-Gift-Wrap-Wrapping-Paper-Sheets-Camouflage-Birthday-Wedding/202897695740?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
