I'm not really a collector, although I picked up a few callers in trade years ago..But, THANK GOD FOR ADDICTED COLLECTORS.. if it weren't for you guys us call makers would have no real incentive to keep making caller after caller chasing that elusive "perfect sound"...but I think call making is just as addictive as collecting...once you start that chase for a better caller you just can't quit experimenting... and on top of that you want it to look pretty..and that leads to a life in the woodshop eating sawdust from about every type of tree that grows or has grown...Heck, I don't know if I'm feeding collectors/hunters addiction or feeding my own addiction to making the cotton-pickin things  ROTFLMBO ROTFLMBO ROTFLMBO

 Pretty much sums it up Charlie!  *cheers*

Cough...Cough!! Excuse me while I blow the sawdust from my nose. You said it right there Charlie. Many hours get spent in the shop so we can satisfy our need to build more callers! Sometimes it's hard to NOT think about working on them. I spend way too much of my freetime in the shop but it' where you'll find me 'til season opens.

You know I'm sitting here reading what the callmakers are posting.. .thinking...  no wonder us call collectors are so "diseased" :)  I've yet to meet a callmaker that hasn't put his heart and soul into his call.  You all strive for the best and that's what I respect about each and every one!
