Well....
I'm going to embarass myself and admit to something some here already know. The last two years have been very difficult for me and I haven't kept up on many of my obligations. (That is the reason I haven't advertised or "sold" any calls yet.) One of those obligations is a call I promised to "Jimmie in Kentucky".... and here is the story of why I promised Jim this call(Blackdog #1 call)and the reason for the name!

Well, I'm jumping the gun here because I'm not quite ready yet, but this is a new call design inspired by a conversation with "Jimmie in Kentucky" at the 2004 "LBL" Hunt. The call is tuned to a high pitch just for Jimmie. The reed tool is brass and walnut, the call is red elm burl, the coyote inlay is pewter and the feather emblem is sterling silver. I'll post a better pic when everything is finished.
That is how the name for my latest venture...BlackDog Calls...was born. You see Jimmie and I were talking about the regional color phases of coyotes and how there were some particularly dark coyotes in the "LBL" area.
Quote from Jimmie:
"They's some blackdogs right'ch here in this here'n danged holler!"
For that I want to thank you Jimmie! Here is the first attempt at a call just for you. I'm working on hand turned antler and burl beads to replace the store bought ones. Your package should be there by next week! Nikonut
Jimmie still hasn't received his call or the other matching calls that go with it... Jimmie... I will get them out to you very soon. The package and calls are on the kitchen table where they have been sitting for almost 6 months.
...Now everyone knows, and again I thank you Jimmie for your(behind the scenes)support! The same goes for those other members(you know who you are!) that know my personal story... Thanks for your support also!
I really do hope to get this off the ground soon and I will always support this forum! This fantastic group has been my home for the last two years, so thanks to all of you! You will never really know how much this place has meant to me... Nikonut /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
