Guys,
Lone Howl not only makes calls that LOOK nice, he is also very good at making calls that SOUND right. I have one of his calls that he dubbed "Sweet Pea". I will be trying to post a recording that I made with that little call.

Good looking calls, LoneHowl, good sounding results, Rich. Mighty fine.

Thanks fellas ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Yes, very nice, I particularly like hand calls that are made from indigenous trees, like mesquite and ironwood, and also like the osage orange, I have a Brass Rhino made in that wood.
Probably a lot more to select from?
Good hunting. LB

Thanks LB, I have a brass Rhino in osage as well.
I like to stick to domestic woods these days myself for the most part. The exotics are cool but we have a lot of nice woods here in the good ol' USA.

Awesome looking calls!
How's that Dead Coyote choke tube working out for you that I sold you?
Posted by Lone Howl (Member # 29) on March 24, 2011, 08:04 PM:
Thanks! Hey that choke kills em dead lol, Actually I like it a lot. I called a lot this year with the shotgun(for me), out of 36 coyotes just at 15 or so was taken with it, as well as 4 bobcats and 5 or 6 grays. We only get 5 bobcat tags here so four aint bad for me.
Slow year for coyotes for me, I have to many irons in the fire.

I've said it many times over, I love osage, it's my favorite firewood, AND it makes a dandy predator call too, in the right hands. Looks like your hands are "right" Mark. nice job on those.

Thanks TR!

Okie doke,Ill make ya one : )

I make a few collecter calls myself. Probably the best you ever heard. Don't make em too often cause it keeps the predator population steady. Iffin I made too many the population would drop too quick.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on March 27, 2011, 09:51 AM:
Okay, how old are you, dude? Are you fibbin' about making your own hand calls?
Posted by BJRemLington7 (Member # 3806) on March 27, 2011, 01:03 PM:
I am forty seven years old and handy with Earth woods an a lathe.

Don't you mean..."earfth woods"?
Posted by TRnCO (Member # 690) on March 27, 2011, 03:38 PM:
Thankfully BJ you don't sell any more calls than you do, I'd hate to see the coyote be placed on the endangered list because of your great talent making calls.
That is of course, if you beleive the call is what makes a great predator caller.
Posted by BJRemLington7 (Member # 3806) on March 27, 2011, 03:52 PM:
Well, TRnCO your right. Reasonable and level headed retort, unlike some I've received. But, If you didn't call, they wouldn't come. It don't make em appear where they ain't but when you find em ya gotta sound good.

I need to get my hipboots out... it's getting deep around here.
Better post up a few pics here BJ! I'd love to see what you make.

The calls are made special one by one. You agree to pay and I can make it. Those in the know have one of my calls. A select few will pay the price I ask. But they are very very, very, very vert, satisfied to say the least.

Watch out Rich, your BS gauge is trying to burst.
Posted by smithers (Member # 646) on March 27, 2011, 07:39 PM:
This is about the Osage's but the one at the top with the squeaker in it looks intriguing. Open reed with a squeaker? Nice!
Posted by Lone Howl (Member # 29) on March 27, 2011, 07:53 PM:
Smithers, thats a closed reed actually,(pictured below) the one next to it is an open reed. But, I have seen a couple guys making open reeds with squeakers in em.

Is that a black piece of rubber just to soften it on the teeth? Like the looks
Posted by Lone Howl (Member # 29) on March 27, 2011, 08:59 PM:
Yep, and thanks!

Mark makes what I would refer to as, "Lifetime" calls... the only way you can hurt them is to lose one! They are beautifully crafted and solid as a rock. Not only that but they also sound great!
I don't think there is a better deal on a truely "Custom" call out there today. Each one made by hand and tuned to perfection... and that's not about promotion it's all true!

Yeah, that's the one. I'll be seeing one of these babies in a few days! Thanks Mark!
