I been thinking about having this call reproduced.It has such a good sound that i wanted to offer it to the general public.It's a high pitch call and should be a good cat,fox and coyote call.I want to be able to hold the cost down so everyone can afford it,hopefully around $6.95 plus shipping.Before i make a decision,do you guys think it would be worth it?

Major Boddiker would like that. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
So would I. I'll certainly buy one.
An antler reproduction will be unique.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on October 13, 2006, 01:28 PM:
Well, what does that mean, do you intend to cast it in resin, or what?
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on October 13, 2006, 04:13 PM:
After the decision is made on the material,i will post it here.I want the best possible tone and pitch i can get out of this call.
Posted by Norm (Member # 240) on October 13, 2006, 04:54 PM:
an antler version of the peewee. Major would like that... I would be interested in it as well.
Posted by keekee (Member # 465) on October 13, 2006, 09:02 PM:
I would buy one as well. Would be kind of cool!

keekee,thanks.I wanted to be able to offer this call to all that would want one at a fair price.I'm still going to try to get a better deal on duplicating.I'm thinking,setup fee for $30.00 and $4.00 per call would be more reasonable.
Posted by Kokopelli (Member # 633) on October 14, 2006, 11:13 PM:
If we're going to do it, why not a 'Pee-Wee' & a 'Standard' to go as a set???
Hell, either way; count me in.
Posted by The Outdoor Tripp (Member # 619) on October 15, 2006, 04:22 PM:
I'm in Melvin. Put me down for two.
Posted by LionHo (Member # 233) on October 15, 2006, 08:55 PM:
I'll be interested in hearing how it turns out, especially how the change in materials affects the tonal qualities. My guess is that hard plastic will increase the pitch.

The call was sent.As soon as i hear something,i will post it here.I can tell you the call will be made in ivory and brown.It will cost me a little more than a solid color,but i think it will be worth it.... I want to thank all of you for showing interest in the call.Those of you [pampass know it alls] that wants one will be the first to get one.
Posted by Rich Higgins (Member # 3) on October 30, 2006, 04:41 PM:
Cool, Pakman calls. Put me on the list Melvin.
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on November 15, 2006, 02:57 PM:
Here is a picture of the PAKIA Calls.LOL-They should be available in these colors,soon.

Need the "Where To & How Much $$" info.
Posted by Alaskan Yoter (Member # 169) on November 15, 2006, 05:12 PM:
Melvin chalk me up for one of each color. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Just tell me when, where and how muc too.
Posted by Rich Higgins (Member # 3) on November 15, 2006, 05:38 PM:
Put me on your list.
Posted by Andy L (Member # 642) on November 15, 2006, 05:54 PM:
Put me on the list please.
Gotta tell ya, I hadnt looked at this thread, missed it somehow. The title had me expecting a moaning woman....
Posted by bowjunkie (Member # 887) on November 15, 2006, 06:45 PM:
I would love ta get one of each as well ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on November 15, 2006, 10:22 PM:
I want to thank all of you.As soon as i get them i will let you know.I've been busy cutting reed material and will have a slight bit of tuning with some.I hope you all will like them as much as i.The price will be $8.00 each and $3.00 shipping,whether one call or 3 calls in the lower 48.Shipping to Alaska and Canada,i will have to check.One more thing i would like to add-The call is a mid range call,but can be heard at long distances because of the high pitch,depending on how you use it.You can go from cottontail rabbit to a mouse sound and everything in between.My favorite sounds on this call are the puppy whines,whimpers,and distress. I will give more information,after i receive the rest of the calls.
Posted by Joel Hughes (Member # 384) on November 16, 2006, 06:31 AM:
Put me down for a couple. 1 black and 1 tan.
Posted by Andy L (Member # 642) on November 16, 2006, 07:17 AM:
I should have been more specific, I want one of each, Melvin. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
Posted by Rich Higgins (Member # 3) on November 16, 2006, 11:25 AM:
Melvin, I want Andy's. Send them to me but you can go ahead and bill Andy.
Posted by Andy L (Member # 642) on November 16, 2006, 11:48 AM:
That will be fine Melvin. Double my order, send half to me and half to Higgins and bill me.
Hows that Rich?
Posted by Rich Higgins (Member # 3) on November 16, 2006, 05:07 PM:
Andy, you just don't have a firm grasp of "tweaking" or "messing with the mind".
Melvin, send all of the calls to Andy but bill me.
Take that Andy.
Posted by TA17Rem (Member # 794) on November 16, 2006, 06:04 PM:
Melvin send a double order of calls to Vic and me and send the bill to Rich and Andy. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
Posted by Andy L (Member # 642) on November 16, 2006, 06:07 PM:
I got a grasp, just dont have the urge to mess with you. Your the first person on one of these boards to say I dont know how or like to mess with folks.
However, I would buy you calls any day of the week and be more than happy to do it.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on November 16, 2006, 07:11 PM:
Wish I had friends like that. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Good hunting. LB
Posted by Andy L (Member # 642) on November 16, 2006, 07:53 PM:
You do.
Send LB some calls too, Melvin. Bill me.
I really appreciate the shindig you boys put on. Big fun.
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on November 16, 2006, 08:36 PM:
Andy,looks like i'll have to bill you for a dozen or so.LOL. LB,i will send you one[no charge.]
Posted by Andy L (Member # 642) on November 17, 2006, 02:56 AM:
Thats alright. These guys deserve it, I dont mind. Im good for it.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on November 17, 2006, 11:57 AM:
OMG! Just like Oprah! Everybody get's a call! Bill Andy!
Posted by Andy L (Member # 642) on November 17, 2006, 12:18 PM:
Merry Christmas!! Get it while Im feeling generous.
Posted by Tim Behle (Member # 209) on November 17, 2006, 03:16 PM:
Now I know what happened to the Moonshine that Andy didn't bring to the campout!
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on November 17, 2006, 05:29 PM:
Andy,you go ahead and drink all the moonshine you want.LOL. Here is a good recipe for moonshine- Buy a quart or pint of candied cherries.Take about 1/3 out of the jar and fill to the top with moonshine(at least 110 proof.)Let it set for a few months,then eat and drink-By then i should have some new calls made!
Posted by keekee (Member # 465) on November 20, 2006, 09:55 PM:
Melvin,
Put me down for one of each color as well! Tell me when to send the money!
Brent
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on November 21, 2006, 03:47 PM:
I haven't received the calls yet.They told me they were getting right on it.I look to have them within the next few days.
Thanks,Brent.As soon as i get them,i will tell you where to send.
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on November 26, 2006, 01:54 PM:
I got the calls.Those of you that want one or more calls,please send me an email.I will need to know what color and how many.I will also need your address.The calls are $8.00 each plus $3.00 shipping.The shipping will be the same,whether it is one call or a dozen calls.Shipping outside of the lower 48 will be more,i can let you know by email.The calls will be shipped after i receive payment.I won't be shipping any calls untill wed.I will be deer hunting mon.and tues.One more thing i would like to add-I can not take anymore orders,for calls,untill after deer season'or' i get my 3 deer tags filled.
Leonard,What color? No shipping or payment required.Just send your addy.
e mail me at-> poleyup@hotmail.com
These calls are very light and can be used for calling without using your hands.With a little practice you can get pretty good at it.I place the calls tone board about 1/2 to 3/4 ways into my mouth and use it without the need of using my hands.This is a great way to call a predator in and have the gun up and ready to shoot without any movement of your hands.Gloves can kill the voleum of many calls.What i do with this little call is hold it with my thumb and first finger and work my middle finger up and down in front of the call.By using the call this way,you don't loose the pitch and loudness from the glove absorbing the sound.Remember,this is a medium range call,but by blowing harder and raising the pitch,this little bugger will reach out there!One more thing i would like to add-
"PLEASE KEEP THESE CALLS OUT OF REACH OF SMALL CHILDREN!!" They could easily choke on the call or one of the parts of the call.

Good woman? What the hell for? I've got a dog and Huntmastersbbs.

Posted by The Outdoor Tripp (Member # 619) on November 28, 2006, 06:13 PM:
Melvin,
I would email you and get the particulars but it's too damned fun here and each post is but another step toward PAKMANdom.
Are they the antler replicas you spoke of earlier or did you make them different?
If they are antler replica I'd like whatever color looks natural. If not I'll go for one tan, one black.
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on November 28, 2006, 06:24 PM:
Tell you what.Send me a bottle of whatever you been nippin on and i will send you a couple calls.
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on November 28, 2006, 06:45 PM:
I'll send you a couple tomorrow,if your address is on your web page?

Why it takes off the bottom of the page,i don't know.Everything at the top stays there.Thats how i lost your address,it was at the lower part of the page.

Thank you all

TA17Rem,thank you.Iknow you will do well with them.
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on December 03, 2006, 08:55 PM:
I'm sorry to say,the calls are all sold out,except for a few i'm holding back.There was a couple who have asked'but'not responded yet.If they are no longer interested,then i will put them up for sale.
Almost all my calls were bought by"huntmasters,members."I want to thank all of you,and especially,LB,for letting me post them here.You are a great bunch of guys[not because you bought my calls]but,because your a bunch of PAKIA's. Be proud-Because you earned it!
Posted by Rich Higgins (Member # 3) on December 04, 2006, 06:33 AM:
Melvin, three calls were here when I returned yesterday. Thank you very much and a special THANKS to SAndy Clause.
Terrific little calls. Tyler and I will each have one on our lanyards. Too bad they didn't arrive sooner so that we could use them on the World hunt and not call in a bunch of coyotes with them.
Thanks to both of you.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on December 04, 2006, 10:36 AM:
Yeah, mine was here when I got home, have not even opened the package yet?
Oh shucks! I went and opened it! Melvin, I appreciate your generosity. Thank you very much. Hey, I only asked for one, (your choice of color)... and you sent all three.
Well, you can advertize your goods on Huntmasters any time, and it comes with no strings attached.
Cute little suckers!
If you make some more you won't have any trouble selling them. Sounds good, too!
Good hunting. LB
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on December 04, 2006, 12:35 PM:
Leonard,since,Andy hasn't said anything,i want you to know,he paid for two of those.He wanted to pay for all 3! He is a generous man,so i sent him something special.
Rich H.Thank you.Be sure to tell us all about the hunt.
Posted by Andy L (Member # 642) on December 04, 2006, 01:26 PM:
Ive been on the run.
I got mine today. Thanks a million Melvin. I havent got to play with them yet, but I see 4 in there. Very nice of you.
Rich, your very welcome.
LB, Merry Christmas, hope you enjoy them as well. Told you that you got friends.
Posted by Tim Behle (Member # 209) on May 13, 2007, 07:34 PM:
Melvin,
I got back to the Post Office finally, that's a hell of a nice little call!
I can't believe how versatile it is with the such a wide range of sounds coming out of such a little thing.
I sure appreciate it!
Thanks a million!
Posted by Melvin (Member # 634) on May 13, 2007, 09:34 PM:
Tim,knowing you like the little call is thanks enough.I hope you do well with it
Posted by Andy L (Member # 642) on May 14, 2007, 04:21 AM:
Aint those a peach Tim? I love those little calls.
I got a den, like every year, about two hundred yards behind my house. I had the neighbors pissed again the other night, (I hope they dont run me out like they did you Higgins, lol). I heard the male just to the north of the house, barking at my neighbors dog, about midnight. I grabbed my lanyard and headed out there, as I have several times now.
I just repeated everything he did, most a howl wiht a series of barks and a "whine", (I think its the same male as last year Higgins, if that "whine" is a individual dialect as you told me, cause he was making that same noise). Anyway, I grabbed that little black call of Melvins and let go with some puppy yelps and he came from the other side of my neighbors yard, abot 150 yards, to my yard, right now. lol He wasnt over 40 yards at the most.
This went on for quite a while. I was standin out there in the wide open, next to the propane tank, and he didnt care. I love doing that. Bad thing was my neighbors had to work the next day, not to mention my wife and kids school. And, I got two Airedales and a JRT in the house that really got fired up when the puppy squeals started and the coyotes, one was me, lit up in the yard. THe windows were open and they were barking treed. lol I think that fired the coytoe up even more, to be honest with you. Between me making every challenge he did and the puppy yelps and the dogs raisin holy hell, he was FIRED UP!!
Anyhow, great call, great range of sound and very easy to pack around.
Thanks Melvin.
