Hoot n' Stick OOPS

[870BkWht]

This morning I went out and scouted a new piece of ground and got a bead on 2 gobbs I had taken my Harrison Hootn' Stick with me.  When I got back home I forgot I had left it in my front hand pocket of the hooded sweatshirt I was wearing and when I took the hoodie off, the hootn stick came flyin out of the pocket and smacked the concrete basement floor.  It separated the reed part of the call from the top barrel, and cracked the top barrel as well.  I have glued it back together with some gorrilla epoxy and time will tell if it sounds OK.  If its totalled and doesnt sound good, Im just gonna buy an Osage hootn stick.  I just wanted to tell you guys to check your pockets before you take off shirts, jackets, vests, etc. 

You guys should laugh with me, not at me

Dang, that's tough luck. I got to run a boycott one that cannonball owns. Let's just say I fell in love and several swamp owls. I need to down load the video.

That's not good, but look on the bright side, you got to talk to Mr. Hook.

And he made me a deal I just couldnt refuse.  I know who I will talk to when I need anything turkey related too.

OG,  I actually put it all back together the day I decided to throw it against the wall, then I glued it up with Gorilla 2 part epoxy and it sounds good.  I also sanded the glue from the outside and blended the sand marks into the swirlly pattern of the rest of the call. I called Scott and told him what I did and I even blew it for him and then we talked about an Osage Hoot n' Stick and I just decided to go ahead and buy the Osage one.  I will give the synthetic one to a friend who is in need a good hooter.  Like many others have said before, Scott was immensly willing to work with me on getting me a new one and a real joy just to talk to.  We probably talked for about 45 minutes.  I will contact him again when I need something new or want some mouth calls, or whatever.  I continue to be amazed and thankful for all the help I have received from the callmakers that I have purchased calls from on this board, and that is why I will continue to buy calls from them.
