He can crank these wood calls out pretty quickly. The acrylics that he use to run would take him all day to cut on the lathe! Of couse it was automated.

One thing of interest that he pointed out to us- his tone board arch is actually 3 different arches. You have to look really close to see it but it's there. He said the 3 curvitures makes it a "Non sticking call".

I ain't hunting, it's a tailgate party with shotguns.

Novacaine is closing in on some good stuff about old locally made duck calls, old maps, old photos and old magazine and newspaper articles. This thread ain't dead yet. 8) :D

It would be great to have a qualified wildlife writer sit down with Mr. Jordan and others around the delta that still have memories of the good old days and write a book about the "Golden Years of Mississippi Duck Hunting". I would sure buy it.

Thanks Crackhead for supplying the story. I don't know any of these guys but there were a few Flowers families in Greenwood area back in the day. I know a Tom Heard who is with NRCS down in Madison and i wonder if this is his dad? Parker with USACE should be hard to run down. I wonder if these guys still have their annual hunt? It would be cool to see them at the boat landing. :D :D
