This is a Poplar and Osage shortbox I made in 2006 and Porter begged to see it   ;)

Mike,

Come on now, you know Porter is not real stable with all the hours he has been working? This one might go ahead and push him over the edge.

I bet I now have as good of a chance to get a twin to this call as I do of Bullock's new scratch boxes... Maybe I should hit them both up for a deal combo  *peep*

I remember the first time I asked Mike about this call.  I think he about had a heart attack.  He was like ah  *poo* Porter how did you know!!!  I asked him in Nashville, so he tried to change the subject, but I wouldn't let him!

Osage...  gets prettier with age  *up*  That's a sweet looking call Mike!

Porter---

Jeff, Mine the one side is filled already, I am now starting on the second side of the base.  With our calls and that screaming Osage we should really help our teams out this spring.  To bad, Mr. Lapp aint making them calls anymore, tough on the ears to tune.  These proto types are killers though!  Mike can only dream about it or maybe some PUNK might sell Porter one!!!!!!!!  Naaaaaaaa aint going to happen

Each year I build a call to hunt with that is the only way I get to keep one for myself ;D Yes the call has one notch I killed a bird in New York using the call and no zumer that is not the cat pizz poplar  *lol* that poplar is from a rafter I saved from a house built in 1862 in Lancaster county Pa. The wood was awesome I wish I would have kept more when I returned the next day to grab some more all that was there was a pile of ashes  :( :( :(  The rafter was full of bug holes so I only took one when I cut into that night the bug holes were only in the sap wood the heart was deep dark green and not a hole in it !!!!!!!! Yep ashes the home owner burned the pile   :( :( :( :(

Jeff, LOL No I never sold a pissed on call  ;D ;D What happened was I did a wood trade with a good friend Chad Griep many of you know him he called me up and said where did you get this poplar I was cutting out some call blanks and it smells like cat piss  *lol* I went to my wood pile and sure enough a cat decided to use my poplar pile as a liter box and it gets worse later that year I had my calls made for Grand Nationals all I had to do was spray finish on them I set my calls on a piece of cardboard that has a thousand coats of finish on and cleaned the shop I came out the next day and my calls were setting in yep you guessed it cat piss  *lol* it would not soak into the cardboard there were in a puddle, needless to say I had to build 3 of my calls again and only had a week to do so. That poplar was cursed !!!!!! Dang Zumer I wish you would let me forget about that poplar  *lol*
