Title: Picked up Two GREAT crow calls last week
Post by: Drum817 on April 11, 2011, 05:16:35 PM

I really like crow calls....so last week I picked up a Darrell Gibson "Classic" and a M.L. Walker crow call.  I like them both very much.  Both call makers were SUPER nice gentlemen and they both live about 15 mins. from my house, which will not be good for my wallet !!  Mr. Gibson said he would take me crow hunting after turkey season and teach me how to kill crows (tried a few times and failed badly...LOL)... BOY I can't wait.  Mr. Gibson is a WEALTH of information !!   Here are a few pics of the calls....enjoy !!

He finished up rehab from a recent heart attack last week.....He's had lukimia(sp?) for 14 years now.  I visited with him last week for a couple hours and he seems to be in very good spirits.  He proudly showed me his gun stock work and his violin collection.  That man is talented beyond belief !!  His gun stock work is INSANE....he does hand checkering that is 300 lines per inch !!  I REALLY want to get a few more of his calls.  Mr. Walker AND Mr. Gibson are BOTH VERY fun guys to talk with.

Great additions ! M.L. Walker makes the finest crow call you can put to your lips ! Wooden mouthpieces not plastic like others use . And they are so realistic it is impressive. I'd put my Walker call up against any crow call ever made ! They were made for killin' crows , not locating turkeys . Congrats to ya !

Congratulations on some fine callers
Both those guys make top notch callers  and are very fine gentlemen ...and Darrell Gibson knows enough about call making  and crow hunting to fill several books..he is a wealth of information
