Would be nice if it stays this color!! Very nice - love the richness of this one. The smoke insert looks great with it.

LOL, looks like there was some condensation in the insert when I took the picture. I give every call one heck of a workout before I offer them for sale or send them out. Nothing like the ringing hail tone of a Mallard at 5:30 am to wake the neighbors up...and the kids haha! The wife is long gone to work but i will get her with a Predator call this evening!

Would be good if you turned the crow call insert from the taper it has and used o-rings, as long as the o-rings grab the aluminum sufficiently...now if you can make your own crow guts then you should be golden. I like using them because the fear of splitting is all but gone....although I just split a cocobolo blank installing one of the gutserts LOL:(

Bubinga again, number 2 for the morning. Now its light enough to go cut firewood(actually the tractor has been running for an hour, the fliuds might be warm enough to work by now LOL!

This one got the full CA treatment

First one of these I have seen with seasonable colors! Cool!So......here is just one example of the difficulty of being horribly color blind!!!:eek: After I read the followup posts, and Steve's comment, I asked Ms. Keeton - "is this thing green?" "Well, yes, what color did you think it was!?!?!?"

Obviously, I didn't think it was GREEN!!

I'm really liking these Ken, I am certain the ducks will love them as well :eek: :D ;)

Nice looking calls. I must admit that the green mouthpiece is a bit distracting for me, but then, as a non-hunter, I view these aesthetically with no functional consideration.
