I was a public school science teacher and administrator for 37 years..been retired for the last seven years. Started woodworking and lathe turning while in college. I make turkey callers..made the first wing bones and two and three piece cane callers back in the 80's..I probably have tried just about every design that remotely resembles a turkey caller at one time or another. I spend a lot of time in the woods hunting,fishing and just wandering. I have tried my hand at gunstock making..fell in love with muzzleloaders while I was in grade school and have shot them ever since..in the 50's there were no reproductions so we used the old originals to hunt with..my favorite rabbit gun was a 14ga. with 32" barrels. I make my own archery tackle..osage makes great bows...and  I tend to talk too much  *cheers*
