Jennifer Middleton HOB Callmaker Auction!!!

Hello to all Members and Guests!

As most of you know Jenny Middleton has been ill and has recently received a liver transplant. She is doing well in part due to all the prayers and the work of the doctors treating her illness. Your support has been instumental in helping her and her family during this time of need.


I'm proud to announce our PredatorMasters HOB's have stepped up and donated many "Special" calls for auction to help this young lady!(Jen just turned 22 while in the hospital) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif


Here is how I would like these auctions to work...

We will be running several auctions back to back until we run out of calls(there are many!!!). I will be placing 3 calls up at a time and each of these will run for 4days from their start.

There will be an additional "Gift Voucher" drawing worth $75+$25=$100! donated by "Blackdog Calls". Every dollar bid on a call will get one chance added to the pot in the bidder's name.
After the auctions are all over a winner will be drawn from all eligible entries! The drawing winner can use this $100 Certified Check to buy more calls, hunting supplies, or anything else they so choose! (Moderators decision will be final!)

The winning bidders will be contacted personally by the callmaker and arrangements made to ship the call directly to that individual bidder.

Payments for these calls and any additional donations can be made directly to this account in Jenny's name:

Jeniffer Middleton Benefit Account
WYHY Federal Credit Union
1521 Centennial Court
PO Box 3374
Casper, WY 82609

Payments can also be made directly thru Paypal using this account:

JennyMiddletonDonations@blackdogcalls.com

Please, let's keep the bids simple and in whole dollar amounts as in, " #15... $25, #16...$30". Limit comments and questions.

Questions can be PM'd directly to me... Nikonut!


A Special Thanks to all the HOB Call builders at PredatorMasters for their donations!

Please continue to say those prayers for Jenny and her family! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

This set of auctions will end at... "The stroke of Midnight", four full days from now. That's 7-12-09, at 12MIDNIGHT. We'll use the default PM server time which is EST.

Call Auction #18 By "BMeyer"

Another great laminated wood and antler call!
Here's what Brian has to say:
It took me forever to get a call made, but the stars finally lined up and I had the time to chip in.

This open reed call is made from stabilized maple with a corian band, and a piece of Casey's elk antler angle cut on the bell. It has an ivory acrylic toneboard designed to sound like one thing only, a rabbit in distress. It stands just 1-3/4" tall from bell to band, but packs a big punch!

ok, 4 full days from now for me would make it the 12th of july (hey thats my special day tell you about it when its over; that day anyhow) not 6/29/09 (pass the Jack of hide it). yes good ole freshwtr George wants that call, its short ugly and one of a kind, somewhat like a person i been dealing with.
now as to bidding. i'll start the bidding on #15,#16,#17,#19,#24 at $20 each.
#18,#20,#22 at $25 each
#21 at $40

boy am i glad i start work early this monrning.
 
That's a darn good start George!

I guess I did miss that ending date. It's corrected now! There might even be another call show up besides that #24... "Mystery Call"

Nikonut /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
hey i have to help an old guy out now and then, pretty soon i'll be old enough for partial s.s. (in just 4 days i'll be doing the 62 thing). uhhhh question though; all the calls but the mystery call tell us who made them, do we guess at this, is that part of the mystery or are you going to tell us? i guess its a start what i did; wait until the rest of the boys wake up and get started, i probaly wont be high bidder on any of them by midnight today, hey all the more for Jenny come on boys getter done.

Hey Tom, auction #23 is not quite what I was expecting to see! Wow...it just kind of leaves me a little speechless. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
guess i was being selfish with #23, hey all these auctions are about Jenny, right. well as much as the thought behind this call (#23) in all thats right i cant accept it as such. so lets put it on the auction and see where it goes. oh yeah if you expect me to just sit and watch it go by you only got 51 cards in your deck. lets start the bid on #23 at $30. if you want it you got to bid, guess what nobody but me knows how much i want it, lets go boys its going up for the money. i might not be a call maker but this is my call for Jenny (well it could have been mine.).
 
gee i cnat think of a better person to share a birthday with /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif, only 52 and here i thought you were old folk, guess its the company you keep.

All I've got to say is Thanks Guys!

Call #23 really looks worse in person than it does in the pictures!

You guys probably thought I'd forgotten how to turn a call! Well... I think you might have been right but it slowly came back to me, like riding a bike!
P.S. #23 can be voiced about anyway you want, just don't expect it to sound like a predator call!
