I ran out of computer time yesterday.
And I'd like to put my previous post in this thread in perspective.
In my call collection, I currently have calls from 45 present, or past, custom call makers here. (NOT including my own calls)
I have multiple calls from several of these fine folks.
I truly feel that I do not have a single call from any of them, that I would consider anything short of great...in all respects: craftsmanship, styling, and sound quality.
I also have several "production" calls, both store-bought, as well as those made by TT, bearmanric, and Kerry Carver.
Some of the store-bought calls, like the Verminator calls, IMHO, work great.
There are also some of those store-bought calls that IMHO suck.
The "production" calls from the 3 guys I mentioned, who are custom call makers, as well...well, those calls are all excellent, IMHO.
However, the original poster asked for our suggestions of what each of us feel is our "favorites".
And so, that is what I posted...my favorites.
Now...if someone, (and I'm not saying anyone did), took exception to the fact that I included some of my calls in my "favorite" list...again, I'd like to put THAT in perspective.
I do NOT consider myself to be anywhere close to an "expert" caller, or call maker. I'm not that vain or conceited.
However, I am 100% confident in the ability of my CALLS to do what they are intended to do...bring in coyotes.
That's why I keep them on my lanyard.
I feel that if I don't have the confidence to use my own calls, as my "go-to" calls...then why should I expect anyone else to use them with confidence.
Thank you all for allowing me the space to add these comments.
This post probably wasn't necessary.
But, I wanted to make it clear that I wasn't trying to "hawk" my own calls, and I felt that my comments yesterday may have led to some confusion for some people as to my "motives".
Y'all have an enjoyable evening.
