Game calls

[armyturner]

I don't claim to be much of a call maker and may never sell one, but here are a recent few. They were all made with HUT call reeds.

The grunt call reeds sound as good as any commercial grunt call that I have used, I am unsure how to compare the duck call since I have never duck hunted (my brother wanted this one even though he is not a duck hunter either). They will probably all be gifts except the last one, I think I will hold on to it

1. Osage Orange Deer Grunt Call
2. Kingwood (maybe) & Curly Pyinma Deer Grunt Call

3. Curly Pyinma Deer Grunt Call
4. Bubinga & Maple Duck Call

5. Amboyna Burl Deer Grunt Call

Very fine. Beautiful shapes and great finishes. What finish did you use? It has to hold up under harsh conditions.

Visit http://hutproducts.com/ and get their catalog. And, yes, a full kit for the first one is a good idea. After that you can use scrounged wood and buy reeds. It is fun but unless you have a market, like anything else, can be hard to sell.

Frank,

The first three are finished with Deft spray, which is probably not the best to use. 4 and 5 are finished with 3 coats of Waterlox (inside and out) and 3 coats of General Finishes Armor-r-seal.

Beautiful calls. I haven't made any grunt calls yet, but I got the kits. Another good place to buy the kits from is http://www.thogamecalls.com/

Al is a really nice guy to deal with and he ships fast. Also he has some tutorials on his site.
