Title: New Marlin Watkins, Fetters, and Whitt
Post by: Coop1082 on December 13, 2017, 04:36:08 PM
A few of my more recent pickups in the box call category. The Watkins came in today and is a Bloodwood over Pear. Absolutely killer call as is to be expected with anything from Mr. Marlin. The Fetters longboxes are Osage/Butternut, All Sycamore, and All Cedar. All 3 are honestly as good they come. There are more turkeys in one of Mr. Ernie's longboxes then I have in my entire collection and they run oh so easy! The Whitt was part of the run of 6 Brazilian Rosewood over Spalted Sycamores he did right before his surgery that went the wrong way. Still praying for a smooth recovery down here in South AL Mr. Whitt! All of these will absolutely see vest time and I'm very proud to add them to the arsenal. Thanks for the look guys!

It felt like Christmas when the Watkins showed up today if I'm being honest!

Bailey, that one is a Brazilian Rosewood over Spalted Sycamamore from Mr. Irving Whitt. Excellent soft talker. Story on that one is he had been sitting on that Rosewood for years now since it's so hard to come by waiting to match it with the right body. That sycamore came along and he found his match. He only made 6 of them so to say I'm very appreciative to own one of them is an understatement!

Awesome collection of calls from some of the best. My usual question on these posts, be truthful now, how long does it take you to choose one to take in the morning. or the night before ?  :santaclaus:

Honestly it's just a feel thing for me! I'm bad about having a ton of calls in the closet and usually only end up running a handful them during the season due to those being the ones that bring a bird to the barrel of the ones that elicit responses. I try my hardest to rotate every hunt but it never fails that at the end of the year I've been running the same calls for the past 2-3 weeks!
