Title: Old callers
Post by: Porter on August 27, 2010, 09:39:45 PM

Well knowing the history buffs on the site, went down to Eminence last night.  Stayed way too late and had to get up way too early this morning :(

Anyways, had a blast with David as usual.  Got to meet a very very special person too.  Finally can say I shook the hands of Dan Searcy :P  It was a pleasure talking to him.  Quite the legend he is.

Some great memories were had with these callers and have the callmakers came a long way.

I had chills when I picked these callers up!

Also forgot to point out the one with screws on the side, well it split down the middle....  as David said, it's just a turkey call... so they glued and screwed it back together.  It would still play too  ROTFLMBO

Pretty cool.  Glad those folks kept the history alive with those old callers. And passed it on to a new generation as well. ;D
