For the guy who still wants to sit and flip through the pages of an actual magazine rather than scroll a laptop............

This is a brand new publication. I got my hands on issue #1 and was pretty thoroughly impressed. High quality paper, printing and photography. Mostly all content. Very few ads. A much more impressive magazine than the old Turkey & Turkey Hunting of days gone by.

Have a look.

Is that Shrapnel holding up that bird? Kinda looks like him.

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. That's Dave Constantine (an OUTRAGEOUSLY talented wood carver and call maker) from Wisconsin. Sure does favor Shrapnel, though, don't he ??

Doesn't take much to impress you.....

If Shrapnel was 4 feet tall....and just a little prettier. Lol

Dave probably had to stand on a soap box to take that picture....lol

At an NWTF show Constantine walked up to me and stuck out his hand and said "I always wanted to.meet you".....

I felt like I was shaking hands with a dead fish.

You ARE a ray of sunshine and a very witty chap, too.................

I can't speak much praise for Dave's judgement of character or the caliber of folks he'd extend his hand to, though.

He knows whoz his daddy...

You shoulda been a comedian, Luther.

"I always wanted to meet you." No doubt he thought Frank was someone else.

He knew who his daddy was....

Delusions of grandeur
Narcissism
Napoleonic complex
Histrionic personality disorder

You read like a case study, lil buddy...............

It's OK. I'll still help you out with any newbie questions you have.

Reads more like a self diagnosis to me.

I used to enter the NWTF decorative turkey call contest....one year I won like four different categories next year I won either five or six different categories. Next year I show up with my calls and I'm handed a roll of blue painters tape....I was instructed by Charlie Burke the guy that ran it I had to put tape over my name on every call.

I asked whats up...he replied "some of these guys think you are winning because of your name".

I find out that it was Dave Constantine and his carving buddy Dennis Poeshel were the ones complaining....I stopped entering allowing them to win more....thus the comment "he knows who his daddy is".

Does Dave Constantine have anything to do with Constantine's Wood Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl? In years past, I've ordered a metric shotload of marquetry supplies from Constantines.

Why I no longer get involved in any of that crap! Too many little dix involved. Only 1 contest I want to win every year...

$35 for 4 issues…no thanks

Always interesting to me to see what people choose, or not choose, to spend their money on. And I admit, I won't be getting it either.

Yeah...........

I've spent $35 on way more stupid things LOTS of times.......... Like, as recently as yesterday, so...........

Like a box call holster ?

Nah. Like bourbon.

I almost spent money on these for LFC, but didn't have his address to send them to him.

I am sure he would send you his address, if for no other reason than so you would have it for your Christmas card list....

I have too many stalkers now.

That's what you get for being so darned good looking.
