Love that Buice!  And yes I think everyone saw those birds down by the creek.  They are always there.

I know I'm posting these pictures wrong,  they're coming up sideways,  but I had to post the backside of that Misfire slate.

Beautiful work...

 The pics aren't posted wrong, that's a steeeep hill they're walking up to get out of the vally.

Lol Bob, I'm a Lowcountry swamp hunter so maybe the mountains threw me off!

I wanted to pick up a couple more calls and Bob one of your boxes was a call on the list. You were on the same stretch with James,  Darrin, Lon and Lamar.  Every time I came by there seems like I got blocked. Some tire kickers trying to haggle. I still want a box, I'll pm you.

That Buice trumpet is my first trumpet,  it was the first call on my list, been wanting to learn the trumpet for a few years now and had my heart set on a Buice.

Never had played a trumpet before, I didn't want to sound like a jack@ss so I waited till I got to the truck,  couldn't get a sound for hell, got down the road to Toccoa and tried again at a gas station. ..terrible,  nothing.
Got back home still no sound.

Got some great advice from a great pot call maker a couple of days later! Don't pop, draw air and use your lips as the reed. We'll I'm now putting together some great cadences and I will feel comfortable with the trumpet to hunt it this season,  plus I have a new addiction!

I also have to say that the Dawkins box is as smooth as silk, it will likely be the first call to come out of the vest this Spring!
