I was asked by a couple of our WSTA Members if I would donate one of my "Duck Calls" to WSTA as a fund raiser.
For you that don't know me, I am 62 years old and I have been turning Game Calls since 1989. I started turning predator calls when I worked for USDA-APHIS-ADC (Animal Damage Control).
I have been fur trapping for 42 years. I use to write articles as a free-lance writer for WCT (Wildlife Control Technology). I publish two quarterly newsletter; one for The Washington State Trappers Association (The Fur Shed) and the other for Oregon Trappers Association (The Oregon Trapper).
I had a ADC Business that I sold two years ago that I ran for 26 years. Those years gave me time to develop bait and lures for my trapping business and to use my game calls for animal control. I have entered my calls in several state fairs and wood craft computation. I have several blue and other ribbons for my calls.
Sooooooo I am donating one of my Double Reed Duck Calls. It is made from American Red Oak and Black Walnut, it looks better than the pictures. The call is easy to use. If you do not like a double reed call and would like a single reed call all you have to do is take out the one mylar reed. You will like this call, I have sold several hundred duck calls last year and I have a large order for a Duck Hunting Club that will have my calls for sale at this years "Sportsmen Show" in January down in Puyallup.
"All" of the money that this call sells for will go to The Washington State Trappers Association. If you are the winner of the call please make the check out to WSTA and send it to me, I will forward the money to them and I will send the call to you as soon as I receive the check. Send me a PM and I will send you my address.
The auction starts today 1-05-15 and stops on 1-15-2015
[/size]Good Luck and Bid Often

I was thinking just put your price here. But a link might be better. Bruce can you help here?
JC
Sorry it has taken me this long to respond. My server is giving me trouble all day.

As John said this is the auction. Just post on here your bid price. We'll close the bidding on 1/15 at midnight and announce the winner.
Maybe not very sophisticated but neither are we. :chuckle:
All proceeds benefit WSTA.

This is my own design it is my "Teal/Wigeon shotgun Shell Call" You seen it here first, so if someone starts making it you will know that they stole my ideal.[/size]
The call is made from Cherry Wood and has a 12 gauge brass shell cal on it.
I think it has to be worth another dollar or two. Good Luck Bidding and who ever wins the bid, enjoy my calls
"All of my calls" are designed for the Hunter in Mind"
