Title: Gregg Guthridge National entry Shadow Turkey Calls
Post by: Shadowturkeycaller on February 23, 2011, 03:24:15 PM: Hi Guys,

I can't tell you how nice it was meeting a bunch of you, and getting some time to hang out. My wife and I had the best time. You guys truly are a bunch of class acts!
After 15 hours of trying to figure out how to post a picture on my new computer, I think I figured it out
The whisky bottle was my owl hooter entry. It was all carved out of local bass woods. The label was wood burnt and then I hand painted it. Wooden cap pulled out exposing the hooter, the bottle was the actual sound chamber

Pileated woodpecker call was carved to look like a birch tree, reed was placed within broken branch, bottom of call was carved to look like basket weave .

Timberdoodle friction was my favorite project. Stump with peep pulled out to expose striker,slate was under the belly of mother woodcock(http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff427/shadowturkeycaller10/DSCF0527.jpg)(http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff427/shadowturkeycaller10/CallnCarvings-10101.jpg)Carved Brown trout

I liked the woodcock too, but hated that I was a competitor in the same class. There couldn't have been more than a point between 1st and 2nd. I really admire your work and you deserve a big congratulations!!!!
