Marlin is a great man that has done a lot to help others in his life.  I met some folks that knew him in his previous Profesional life and the more I hear the more I'm proud to know him.  Oh, and he makes great turkey calls also.

Ya got a nice call there, betcha there's more than one turkey in that wood.
             Marlin is as good as they come. He's a good man and makes a great turkey caller. Waiting for one in the mail, mahogany under bloodwood. He played it for me and it has many turkeys in it. I just hope I can coax 'em out.
