These pics were taken under various light conditions, as is evident by the color changes - the ol' sun just wouldn't come out ...
... which is really too bad, as the Black Mangrove would have really lit up in the sunlight ... ;D

I can't thank Matt enough for takin' the time, & turnin' this very fine trumpet caller for me ... 8) 8)

Post by: labman on March 09, 2010, 07:53:08 PM: I picked one up from Matt at the Convention (as well as an acrylic and a cocabola- what can I say, I love Matt's calls). In my opinion, Matt's calls are as good as they get, and he is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

Post by: turkey-slayer on March 10, 2010, 08:12:14 AM: You will Love that trumpet caller from Matt. I've known Matt for a few years and have several of his turkey calls and I know that he does a wonderful job putting turkey in all of them. He also made me one of those Black Mangrove turkey killers which I intend on taking to the turkey woods this spring.
