Been a few years, some may not even know of the man but he was an active guy here and good man in my opinion. I'm sure he's got some unbelievable call sitting beside him and the birds are always gobbling. Just the same remember and let's shoot one for him

He was one of the best for sure.  I found myself looking for him at Unicoi...

He was good people.   Yep.

I have a call in my accumulation that was made for him.  Has his name on it.   Kinda a neat reminder.

I was thinking of his "First Team" "Second Team" threads a few days ago. Always enjoyed those.

I have a mora/apple fiddlebox that was Rickey's and tried to call one to the gun with it last year. Came really close, but when the gobbler got to 50yds he made out the shooter (my dad). He stayed interested, he just circled around him and kept looking for me.
Will try and make it happen this year.

Good thread !!!

Thinking about taking my Rickey call and hunting it this spring.  It's a Mann purpleheart/cedar checkered short box.
