Title: Stelth Package
Post by: Bevan R. on March 21, 2012, 09:56:38 pm: Got a smallish box yesterday and thought 'Wow, points!'
Was not expecting this from DRon. I guess now I have to learn a better turkey call than 'Price check on frozen butter ball'.
Thanks Ron!! Really nice and much appreciated.

Post by: Bevan R. on March 22, 2012, 02:13:19 pm: Sorry guys, I NEVER trade gifts. I treasure them forever. I will use this, even if it is just to confuse the neighbors birds.
Now Ron, if you come up with a carp call, I will be your beta test for that. :laugh:

Post by: DRon knife on March 23, 2012, 12:41:32 am: Glad you like my work guy's! Every thing is hand made on these calls,even the slate is hand drilled and hand split,the only store bought parts are the birch veneer to make the frames and the lacquer finish.

@ Pearl Drums and JW,I have enough parkay cherry left for two more calls and I will make you one,but I'm so busy with work,draw knives,band practice,turkey season,fishing tourneys,shooting 100 arrows a day,chiropractor,plays,side work and mowing a 2 acre lawn that I doubt I can have them ready for turkey this season! Bare with me and I'll get r done! Ron

Sounds exactly like my schedule except the plays and chiro, I have none. Thanks for considering Ron. Let me know when and I will make it right with you one way or another.
