Title: Duck Call from NWTF
Post by: Houlihan on February 11, 2012, 09:43:16 AM: Entered this one in NWTF this year. My old dog died two weeks ago, so it was a sort of tribute to him, and I worked on it over the few months he was sick. New retriever puppy moving in tomorrow. It's hard to be without a dog. So, back to picking up hair (and other stuff) and wiping up muddy foot prints, and I can't wait.

Needless to say I was delighted with the outcome at the NWTF, and nobody was more surprised than me at how the auction went. I sure do hope to get to the show one of these days to see all of the great calls and meet some of you in person. I sure do admire the work of so many of you on this forum.
