I think we are all saying kinda the same thing, and I didn't intend to stir it up...I just wanted to honor the call builders here.
I guess I got motivated when Bearmanric's call was called expensive, and then I saw a thread on another site that mentioned Cronk Calls and said they were very good, but very expensive...I solidly agree that these calls are beautiful, sound and work great, but when it comes to the cost....These call makers are not making money doing this...they can't be when you figure in the their time.
I am paying tribute to all the call maker to the folks who pour their heart and soul into some awsome creative and wonderful tools for calling critters.
Thanks again
I have to agree with you. We are all pretty much saying the same thing. One person making the call from start to finish. I personally dont care what tools he uses to make a call as long as it looks good(or interesting), works(in the right mouth /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif), and has a handmade feel to it. This last one to me is purely subjective.
I am an aspiring callmaker myself and I am in awe of the quality calls made by the calmakers on this site. sometimes I look at my calls and think. If I just went out and bought an e-caller I probably could have bought another rifle instead of my mini fine furniture collection /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif But then I think whats the fun in that. As was stated in another thread there's nothing like opening the mailbox and seeind a couple of padded envelopes and realizing what they are.
It happened to me today. I got two of TR's calls in the mail. The one I bid on and a closed reed I asked him for. What sweet calls. Can't wait to go caling with them.
Anyway my hats off to all of you callmakers. Keep up the good work!
