Just got my call from joebuck yesterday. I've already been banned to outdoor practice or when the little lady is gone! Great tones and LOUD! I'm anxious to try it on some birds. Now if that seminar stuff works with the call I should have some hero pics with my new Addiction Recurve this spring :thumbsup:
Owlbait, carry extra chaulk!..had 4 "bugling" as Gene W. says this morning at the popping cluck...you can get light on it by moving your hands over the sides...practice on it and remeber to drag that locating cluck across the striker......i'm getting real close and my wife is getting close to strangling me...thanks.........got all new stuff for PBS
I took my Wooden Hen from Joebuck and my new wingbone call from Guru. All I saw was game wardens. I did learn that I need to practice alot more with the wingbone.
My Wooden Hen matches my Swamprooter bow. Made from the wood Joey cut out of the riser
My Biggie, With a call like Joey's, don't bother carrying mine!! :notworthy:
Hang the "bone" up for decoration ;)
I was sure pullin' for you today buddy :pray:
Mike, try a makeing a stiker out of puppleheart and one out of zebrawood and then go down across the tracks and run a series with both of them at the same time. Be careful though. LOL. I love my wooden hen. thanks Joey. DB
I'm gonna have to get me one of them joebuck calls! I've always been a mouth call guy but I have one old box call that I carry on windy days and I've been practicing with a wingbone that I got from Bernie. I really like the tone and pitch of a box call and would love to add a real good one to my arsenal. I'm gonna have to keep my eye on the sponser class, hopefully another joebuck will pop up real soon. (hint, hint, wink, wink) ;)
Hey Kenneth, the wooden hen aint no box call. It's a special secret call who's design was handed down to Joey from his neighbors great grandfather, who's grandad was an apache who use to hunt rio grande turkeys in southwest texas in the mid 1800's. lot of history in these calls, but not a box call at all. DB
If I cut a striker the same size will it work? Or is there some "REAL" tuning that has to go on? Us Yanks are gullible :bigsmyl: I know I need the practice because I was outside and had to plug MY ears today. When I get it right though....
Joey told me that you have to buy the strikers from him....no other will work. Hmmmmmmm
Mike, Hurry up and get your turkey killed. I am wanting me on of them Joey specials, but I am not quick enough on the classies. so I will have to hire you to call for me. What hunt you got by the way?
Chuck I have the last season. Maybe if your season is right I could get invited to a carp shoot and leave the call for you to use...Hini..Hint
Biggie your right, joebuck just emailed me that the use of other strikers was strictly prohibited and violated some kind of treaty!!!
Thanks Don, now I really want one! Found a pic of one. That is really different looking. I'm gonna have to keep my eyes open for another one of these.
:cool: :rolleyes: :) ya'll are too funny..been in workshop all morning.going to catch evening church...trying to get some ready for PBS and post a couple up here this week. Thanks for the interest ..tried to flip video yesterday 4 gobblers gobbling at the Wooden Hen.........forgot to charge it. :knothead:
Thats a good story Joey.
I will see what we can work out Mike, I got me a Don Gilson wingbone to take up any slack.Thanks.
Mike

I'll second that :knothead:
I didn't think it would be delivered till MONDAY! That is a classic that I kept on the wall with my beards. Never used it and I thought you might enjoy it. The man is a craftsman just like joebuck.
I hear ya Mike. Don is good. Good luck with the ole scratch box.
