Title: Watkins Paddle Call
Post by: Porter on December 21, 2009, 05:28:16 PM

Well I should have posted this a few days back, but time got away from me :(.... anyways the other day here comes in the mail a nice Paddle Call from Mr. Watkins.  I had called him up and we talked a lot about hunting and I decided I wanted more of a fall call and I knew he would know exactly what I wanted :)  When it comes to fall hunting, first thing that comes to mind is Marlin for me!  We talked for a couple of hours about this and that and boy did I enjoy his hunt stories!

The call is Mahogany/Paduak and I'm hoping to get it out before our archery season ends.  I told Marlin if the weather will cooperate and warm up, I'll give it a shot!

Can't wait to get some blood on this call!  Oh and just because it's tuned more toward fall, it will definitely be a very successful Spring call too!
