A Gift from Marlin Watkins
« on: September 03, 2010, 01:13:20 PM »
When I went to VA to get my turkey dog from Mr.Brynes, Marlin and I made it that we would be there at the same time to finally meet.Marlin and his friends were playing his calls and we talked a bit about calls,dogs and hunting.We then went to the farm to pick up our litter mates.Since that day Marlin and I been talking on the phone about are dogs and their progress in training so far.Marlin told me about this call that Pete Clare has used over the last 6 seasons in the fall that has called a lot of birds in with it.He then surprised me and told me that for a gift he was making me the same wood combo.I was floored with this great jesture.The body is made from Port Orford Ceder from Oregon.The lid is Red Ceder from Florida
