Thanks. I sent them to him today. Hard to let a couple of them go. I believe he will be pleased when he runs them.
Wow Rickey, nice haul....The Lamar and Dawkins are rare combos. Special order?

I had ordered an all-walnut handled box call for myself from Lamar and he had an extra my buddy bought. One of the best sounding boxes I have heard with drenalinld running it. Darrin had the walnut paddle call for the show but I got it real early. I will post the calls I got myself tomorrow.

You definitely need to make the Unicoi show Bob. I enjoyed it so much more than Nashville. You could visit with the callmakers and actually hear them. Plus all the great calls that were there. We are planning to go back next year and take our wives. They would love the town of Helen. (Not the turkey calls)
:z-winnersmiley: What a haul, lifetime of calls there! What a dilemma, opening morning, which call, Which call ? :drool:
Great haul there Rickey!! I'm sure he will be happy when he opens those packages!
You sir are a great friend. I would have a really really hard time letting any of them go!

If the situation had been reversed he would have done it for me.
