What is a rat call? You make calls to call rats?:) Like the Pied Piper? Or is it rattlesnakes you call:eek: I saw one this morning while on my morning walk in our desert park. I made no attempt to call it.

What is the SS rifle in the pic?

Ken, some great looking calls! I like that Spectraply - neat effect.

BTW, send some of that rain our way - dry as toast here!

I think the rain gauge said 7 inches today..we sure need it! It never really poured a ton, just a good steady rain all day.

John, I came through a T-storm near Louisville last friday, and we got rain saturday night in Westmorland TN. If I wasn't sick i would have tried to contact you to see if I was anywhere close to you, but I aint one to visit when im sick!

Thanks. Thats all the rat calls I can make until the supplier catches up with guts and bellows:D

So now my attention is on Deer calls. I made this one this evening but have to redo the finish on the stopper.....how I missed the sanding marks and no burn lines is beyond me but you will have this every once in awhile LOL!
