You DO make a beautiful handled hen box !!!!! I'm truly impressed !!!!

Think I could get one for my collection ???

You seem to know everything why don't you check out what that one sold for at Lave Creek auction shOe shine bOy.....

Donny eYe bet you know a guy that could make a leather case to fit one.

Lava Creek doesn't actually disclose the selling price, I don't think. But I do know what they were asking for it. Pretty solid number. Ain't taking that away from you.

Looks nice doesn't it Donny bOy...

It does.

And it's "ie"....... DonnIE. Since we're gonna be friends, now........... I thought you should know. ;-)

I forget Donnie bOy I'm thinking their asking price was $5,500.00....

I could do you a deal on this one Donnie bOy....

See'ns hOw you are such a good fiend'

I believe $5500 was the asking price. Yep.

I've seen quite a few callmakers' reject piles and "firewood". I used to make some friction calls.........so I get it. Junk is junk, no matter how good it looks. If itdoesn't make the cut it just doesn't. Still hard to smack a beautiful looking call with a hammer or toss it on the campfire.............

Just curious................... What was the issue that sent that one into the campfire ??

Can't see through the flame. But it almost looks like it hadn't been drilled for a lid screw yet...........

I remember Richard.. Boy he was a Copycat..

Sure is some pretty firewood.....

Eye-popping stick of maple, for sure.

I though he was trying to make a wood spoon and made the handle to short

Our working relationship lasted for several weeks....trust me I didn't want to burn it.

The tone was off a little so I Baptized it by fire.

Since were fiends...

You going to tell us who you were paid by in the turkey hunting and choke tube industry for decades ?

Might as well tell him, Yoder. I think everyone else knows by now.

I don't, and no offense at all, I don't care... lol!

Well, it might, and it's a long shot, go to some extent to stop the ruination of so many threads. Probably not, but maybe.

Box call tuning intrigues me.

Do you do your fine tuning with a pocket knife ??

Wild guess...........but that's either a NY or PA stick of maple ??

I don't either
I will go as far to say that whoever it was, it is none of my business.

Truth is I don't care either....

You come on the internet bragging and trashing people like he did me you best can back it up.

Then let it go.

Anyone here is free to go find how and where this all started........then make their own decision who trashed who.

Is that the thread where you bragged trying to scAre me.....

Didn't realize the meanest turkey call maker out there had such sensitivities.

I apologize for scaring you.

I'm not the one that was scared....

Remember yOu put me on ignore then stuck your head in the sand like an Ostrich

I have to ask, what is with the yOu and several other words wiTh capital letter'S in the middle?

I guess you should ask Yoder he's the sycO'oligist.

I just wanted to understand what I was missing. Did not know if was something the cool kids did or what.

I thought he just drooled spit and tobacky on his keyboard and the keys got stuck.

Along comes blOck head singing back up.

Deleted. I've lately rather been enjoying a LFC-free existence on the 'Fire.

What I feel that's so humorous is BlOck head acuses Yoder of shooting his turkeys off his patio then Yoder teams up with blOck head to trash me.....

Only on a turkey forum.

I have zero animosity towards you, LFC. I think you could be a great asset to the forum. But your attitude sucks. You're a know-it-all, you demean people, and you're abusive. And there is zero reason for it. And I have zero illusions you will ever change. People get so set in their ways they couldn't change if they wanted to. I suspect that's you. You have done nothing on this forums except destroy thread after thread with your borish and tactless behaviour.

Nobody here owes you anything - whatsoever.

In a tidy little nutshell................... Yep.

All we've saw from you two Bozos is look at me look at me.......

Have you saw me brag about anything ?

10glocks you say I'm "mean and abusive"

I mention I killed a turkey in Virginia and 10glocks repeatedly calls me a liar....10Glocks sends me PM's accusing YoderbOy of shooting two turkeys off his back porch this spring.

You need to look in the mirror 10glOck....

Donnie Stear aka Yoder409 needs to also look in the mirror...

Amish make those leather box call cases you hAwk ?

Glad you found it....I forgot where you brAgged


"Paid for two decades" paid for what Donnie Stear ?

Ps...the pattern you posted still sucks hind teet.

You're such an asset to this community, Luther.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!

So, you've figured out who I am and STILL can't figure me out............ I guess I wrongly gave you credit for being brighter than what you're seeming to be.

And, I'm curious. What difference would it make if I sewed the holsters.........or the Amish sewed them.........or some Jews or Mexicans or blacks or Baptists or the Shriners or the local sheltered workshop ??? Do tell.

Don't matter to me Donnie Stear....

Eye bet you look like Poncho Villa with those box calls hanging off your belt.

If you don't mind me asking Donnie Stear how did you come up Yoder409 for a screen name ?

Sounds like LFC might have a coronary. Relax.

Make up your mind BlockheAd....ignore me or nOt

Food for thought....

10Glock if we were all standing around a campfire and yOu fell in and caught a fire I wouldn't piss on yOu.

I've never met Glocks in person. But, I'm fairly certain he sets a much higher standard for the quality his company.

Ya know, Luther................ No wonder you're the laughing stock of the turkey hunting community..........

You DO realize.........do you not........that this discussion was opened with a civil compliment to your call making abilities ?? And you've managed to turn, even that, to shidt and run the thread into the dirt............

It's REALLY gotta suck......being you.

I'm laughing alright Donnie Stear...

You get goosebumps saying my name, dontcha, buddy ????

Donnie bOy I'm thinking you get Goose bumps every time I post it....

Start at the top of page one

This thread explains a little about the hate and jealousy in the call making world.

Why would Yoder Donnie post this over here.

Is yoderbOy jealous he doesn't have a box call like he posted ?

Does he think this was a one time thing or a record price....it wasn't.

Is he Jealous he doesn't own a turkey call that can command that kind of money ?

If Domnie put all his box calls in one pile and sold them as a unit could they command that kind of money ?

I'm sure not running adds over here bragging about my calls or who I am.

Some callmakers see this call selling for this kind of money and they're jealous and full of hate because of it....(not all....but all it takes is one with jealusy and hate to spread the lies).


Then there she the call flippers that get on my list wait a year or so to get a call then flip the call for double their money....most eventually get caught, cut off and then they hate me.

Need a spot on my list....out a call flipper and you get his spot

Last but not least are the turkey call promoters/speculators....Old Gobbler is full of them.....promoting people buying up a bunch of their calls then finding out theyre not what they thought in terms of sound and won't bring what they paid for them when they decide to part with them.

Most guys would do better to stick with store bought calls.

Bottom line money is the rOot of all evil.....

It's tuff at the tOp of the food chain GlockheAd.

I didn't know you felt that strongly about it. Now I kinda feel sorry for you.

You feel sorry for propagating the lies or sorry that it's all over your head.

Actually............. I posted it to acknowledge you really DO build a quality call. To show people you really WEREN'T totally worthless. But, like a skunk in a trap, you can't help but chew your own leg off.

Why would YOU resurect a 3 month old post other than to take a sad and pathetic stab at self-aggrandizment ??

Maybe YOU should start there..............and have someone READ IT TO YOU.

THIS was somewhere between your sad little rant and the top of the page:

That's all horse chit....

Noooooo............. It's an actual quote of what I said this past June 25th. YOU......and everyone else is free to scroll up to verify that. And if you/they would care to scroll ALLLLLL the way to the top.......the original post (in all its hurtful glory ) is ALSO there for review.

Still waiting on an answer big time Donnie bOy

I know ya are............ I think you mentioned that once before.

As a side note to all this, What did you put on the call to get the tiger stripe to show up that well?

I just can't figure what kinda moron would pay 5500.00 for a turkey call. Sheesh.


#dumsunsabitches

Just to blow your mind a little more, most people that own one aren’t interested in selling, even for that price.

I reckon it's a good thing those sort of people exist, otherwise Luther would be hangin out at the truck stop giving blow jobs at a quarter a pop to survive.

Mine doesn’t have a price tag because not only is it a damn fine hunting call, making a few dollars off someone else’s work isn’t worth the cost of losing a friendship. Apparently that’s a foreign concept to some people who do it and in turn also try to portray Frank as the bad guy when he stands up for himself and calls them out.

Chromium triozide....it was used on vintage maple rifle stocks.

It's very hazardous

The true, old time craftsmen used a piece of rusted wrought iron and a fairly strong nitric acid treatment. Then worked the wood surface with a torch or other heat source. Gave the very same end result...........without the brain damage associated with very hazardous chemicals.

You don't know jAck chit

Nope. Never met him. But I suspect YOU are very closely related to him.

Watched my old buddy..........one of the most talented, respected (have someone explain "respect" to you) and sought after flintlock builders in the northeast use the method I described MANY times.

Maybe you should read up on it.

I bet you did....I got my info from Turner Kirkland at Dixie Gun Works. I guess you don't know who he is.

Nope. I don't. I do know of DGW.

Betcha he knows my late buddy's name.

He's dead.....the Kirklands are single handedly responsible for the muzzleloading upsurge before they came out with all the modern crap they call muzzle loaders today.

Study up.

Just looked him up.

Passed in 1997. Same year as my buddy.

GUARAN-FREAKIN-TEED they knew one another.

You have one of this guys guns ?....post a picture

My buddy's widow just passed this spring. But she gave me a stick of walnut and one of cherry from his shop. Two pieces of wood that gun builders around here would give their left nuts for. Gonna have a couple different fellows make me box calls from them.

Normally, Luther, I'd tell you to fugg off. But I'm in a good mood and you did ask civilly.............

I gotta go to a meeting. If you behave yourself, I'll take a pic and post it up later.

I dont care about seeing one of his guns unless it belongs to you.

Nope. He was a turkey hunter, too.

He was a turkey hunter when there were only 4 of us in this entire area.

You must be 150 years old....

Uuuuuuhhhhhhh....................

What ??

I get the feeling you two are getting closer...It's almost like the Bickerson's. They fought, but the love and affection was there. When are you two going Turkey hunting together? Take pics...please.

I'm thinking maybe the spring of 20-never.

Not that its anything not personal.

Why does it need to belong to me ?? Is this your sentimental side coming out ???

I took a pic with my foot on a skunks neck one time....never shot me a Yoder.

I got a lot of mileage out of that dead skunk photo I took it special for a hOt shot internet turkey hunter that got hiz azz skunked that year.....

I dropped the turkey I was toting and chased that skunk 50 yards to get the shot my buddy thought I was crAzy....after I shot it my buddy came walking up I said hold my gun while I get a picture.

I don't hunt with skunks.

I need to come look through your firewood before you have another fire

Nothing like a hot deal

Donnie.....for you it would be priceless
