Title: Earl Mickel Collection

Who came home with any from the collection?  Glad I didn't go, I would have come home with a Neil Cost paddle for sure.

Yeah I bought a few things, pretty cool to see the stuff they had there, and to see the binder with the full listings of all of the calls.

I was looking at stuff but didn't have that kind of money that late in the weekend.  I did meet Rob Keck there when he was working on the deal to buy it all for Johnny Morris.

Crap....I didn't know they were selling the calls, I was drooling over them for a half hour spoke to Jim but he didn't say anything about they were up for grabs, I saw a M.L. Lynch box I would loved to have walked out with.

Unbelievable piece of turkey hunting history. Actually held a Rutledge Miss Seduction. Gave me goose bumps. Had his handwritten instructions along with it. Nice trumpet Danny!!!!

I picked up this nice D. Searcy Box. It's pictured with a Shadetree LB Nice Call as well.

That collection was just crazy.  Personally I was slobbering all over the Gibson's.  Probably never see one again much less get to handle and attempt to run one. Got to fondle the original Walter Winterbottom longbox. What a cool thing that was. There was a Lynch squirrel box call, then the little BTI's, then the "Fat Lady", then the....... :z-dizzy:
