Calls You Own

I don't have any custom calls, but...

I do have 2 Lohman Thunderdomes that I would not sell for $1000 each. Nearly every bird I have killed since 95 has fallen to this call. They don't make them anymore. I did I have 3, but I wore one of them completely out. I used the call so much that the call eventually got a whole in the middle of the slate. Finally it gave up the ghost and the slate fell apart.

If anybody here has one and wants to sell it I will gladly

send you $100's for everyone you have.


I remember those sman. Not sure but I think that was Ricky Joes creation for Lohman

I'm partially deaf in one ear because of turning one towards me when i was cutting on it

Somehow I have been able to hold on to the striker that
came with it but not sure about the call

I'll look around and see if I still have it..if I do I'll give it to you.

If you do and you don't use it by all means let me know. I don't have any of the orginal strikers left. If you find I will meet you whenever and where ever I need to. I am a rep for a chicken and turkey equipment company and travel all of GA, SC, and a small part of North FL. Say the word and I am there. It would be nice to meet you in person one day anyway this would just be an added bonus.

You still work at Bass Pro in Macon? I keep going by the archery dept every so often and haven't seen you yet.

Consider the striker yours and I'll look for the call Saturday. I can mail it to you although it would be great to meet you after all this time......and you can give me
personal guidance on the 7 Year Secret Thing

You and gut pile both are killing me.

I didn't realize you were living in Canton. I have been working with a Tyson farmer up there for the last 4 months on some of our equipment. Been staying at the Holiday Inn Express right behind Crackel Barrell. Need to let me take you to supper one night, my treat.

A chest full of calls that I've collected over the years which include.....Lamar Williams (several boxes and paddles), Frank Cox (several trumpets and pot calls), Doug Camp (several box calls and paddles), old Lynches (50's-60's), to mention a few.

Recent additions......several nice pot calls from Tim (Rutnstrut)...one in particular he parted with.

Too many other calls to remember. Too lazy this late to go through the display case. Mostly older factory stuff from 30-40 years ago as well as other call makers.

Had a few chances to buy an occasional Neil Cost call within reason, and recall thinking...man...I've got too many calls already...I passed.....dah:banginghe

Do have a nice autographed Neil Cost NWTF Chapter cap though in the case though right next to one from Walter Parrot...that he gave to me after hunting with him back in the 90's.

Nothing really special except for Tim Sandford's 3.25" Copper over Glass and Tommy Walton's Call Girl. My Dymanic Calls Slate over Glass in black cherry is pretty good. Have several box calls but nothing in the class as have been mentioned before.

Am expecting another Tim Sandford call as I've got another one of his in the works. After the huge success with his copper pot, I gave him another challenge.

I have some calls from the most talented callmakers on this forum. Here is one that was made by my Grandfather, when he was a boy. This one is close to 100 years old now.
