I had an early N&H Ol' Yeller that was a killer. Used it about 3 yrs and then had a cheek get on top of it while I was shifting around a tree as a bird come in and cracked the surface. I bought another and it wasn't the same. Not even close....I gave it away.
I once bought 8 Lynch calls on clearance($8 ea or something nuts). I found the one I liked and sold the rest. The next Spring, I lost the one I had. Happy I lost it, now. I've got a couple dandies now from Mike at Spring Creek and Al & Josh from SS.
