Title: UNICOI loot
Post by: drenalinld on January 31, 2017, 10:04:12 PM
My wife asked Rickey to be in charge of me not bringing home goodies. Talk about the fox guarding the hen house....lol
I didn't get much, three Darren Dawkins pots, stoned aluminum, slate and crystal all in plastic pots. These calls simply put sound amazing. A Padauk pair from Lonzo, crystal over glass and slate over aluminum. Paired crystal with a Dymondwood Torman and the slate with a cocobola Lyman and I don't know how pot calls could be any better! Picked up a Tate Williams walnut/mahogany short box I had ordered. If you don't have any of Tate's scratchers or his short box you are missing out. Pictured here beside a walnut/mahogany from his grandpa Lamar that I received a couple months before UNICOI. It was sure nice to meet Mr Lamar and visit with him. The same can be said for all the call makers there. A few BVT's from my buddy Del Crow. Not pictured, I bought a Holly hen box from Richard Hudson and sent it home with Kelly Puckett for woodburning. Can't wait to see how that turns out. And finally a very highly figured snakewood blank I bought from preacherman and sent home with Mr. Billy Buice's son. He is going to build me a 6" and a 6.5" trumpet and some mp's from the blank.

A pile of killers. PLUS you figured out how to get two Buice Snakewood trumpets and a Hudson Hen Box burned by Kelly Puckett without the wife knowing. You are good. I wondered why you were giving out your work address.

A fine group of turkey calls...... :icon_thumright:

      Rickey called me, an expensive influence on helping him start his addiction.....  ::)
 
      I see, he's passing it right along on to you..

      Enjoy the new calls & best of luck with them....

Great batch of calls David. I'll be interested in seeing what Kelly does with the hen box. You're right, Tate is making some fine calls. Not too shabby to have Lamar as a mentor.

Always good seeing you Steve. We need to do another hunt someday. Great to meet LT Pack also. Nice to put a face with a name.
