Title: Pa State Fish Carving Competition
Post by: Shadowturkeycaller on January 08, 2012, 07:30:05 AM

This past summer I competed in the state fish carvers Competition.  I wanted to do something different than the normal trout and bass.  This is a spotted seatrout chasing tiger shrimp, with a blue crab watching the action.

Thanks Guys!  This was a fun project to do.  I finally started the little one into carving, She will enter her first contest this summer in the kids division.

Sorry Brian, I won't be entering any decorative calls at Nationals this year, just a few Hunting class calls.  I feel that the NWTF does not support the call makers in a way that they should.

The Magazine coverages have been terrible.  Thats another thread though :-X
