Got a new howler today and was just wondering what you fellows thought of it.

Looks nice...

Posted by pitw (Member # 3685) on October 24, 2010, 05:46 PM:

This the most special of all my howlers and I have a few.

Am I seeing a purple bullfrog sitting on a prickley pear pad about to get hammered by a judge's gavel?? [Confused]

I gotta hear the story on that one. [Eek!]

Posted by Cdog911 (Member # 7) on October 24, 2010, 07:04 PM:

What, Koko? You mean to say that you don't have one just like that? LOL, Very cool looking. Love the finish on those. How do they sound?

My only comment is,"I love it!!!", for all the right reasons...

Like everything Dave does the call not only looks wonderful but sounds better. [Smile]

Posted by Possumal (Member # 823) on October 25, 2010, 12:46 AM:

Beautiful howler, maybe too pretty to take to the field (LOL). Hate to show my ignorance, but are we talking about "Huntncarve Dave" from FinsnFur or is it another Dave. I am not real familiar with all the members of the forum here.

Posted by pitw (Member # 3685) on October 25, 2010, 05:52 AM:

That would be the Dave Al. [Smile]

Posted by 5shots (Member # 427) on October 26, 2010, 06:32 AM:

I put those photos on PM yesterday, and they already "fixed" the post for me. Didn't even last 12 hours.

Posted by Lonny (Member # 19) on October 26, 2010, 07:29 AM:

I'm shocked the pic lasted 12 hours. 12 seconds would be more like the norm for that place. Those boys must have either let their guard down or someone was asleep at the wheel.

GOT TO LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! And i have to have it.. what's it going to coast me??? just how many bananas will you need to ship that back to PA [Confused]

I am thinking something with 3 didgets

Posted by 5shots (Member # 427) on October 26, 2010, 10:42 AM:

Well, I have been banned now. It appears someone over there hasn't got an eye for true art, or maybe they are afraid of someone hoping for some justice. My opinion is that justice shouldn't be offensive, but what do I know.

Posted by George Ackley (Member # 898) on October 26, 2010, 11:11 AM:

ok i have thought about it pitw,
$500 hows that sound

that thing will go down in history as a reminder of the war between Dan and Jimmy.

all i need is to get DAN AND JIMMY to sign it [Big Grin]

PS, where were you at the campout? We saved you a spot at the campfire. You and hyperwrx out rackin and stacking on yer ladders? Also. Somebody said they heard you hired Glenn "shorty" Guess as your new Texas guide? I can't believe that one?

Posted by George Ackley (Member # 898) on October 27, 2010, 01:02 PM:

this guy with the howler is playing hard ball [Embarrassed]

I wanted to go,but the rut is on here in PA.

I agree, after the war, that would be a kewl matle piece. However, I wouldnt give nearly that much for it. I bet if you ask either of the Richs, George, you can get one made just like it.

BTW, I got some longhorn calf horns I want to make howlers out of. Never done it, but Im gonna give it a whirl. George, you get first crack. LOL

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on October 27, 2010, 09:02 PM:

I'm gonna make a howler out of some Marco Polo ram horns I got laying around. Anybody want the other one for $500? Autter make a decent coaxer?

Good hunting. LB

Posted by George Ackley (Member # 898) on October 27, 2010, 09:19 PM:

"Marco Polo ram horns"
You would need to recoup some of what you paid for them right [Wink]

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on October 27, 2010, 09:35 PM:

I need to get around a little more because I just noticed that this is crossposted on another board where the significance of hammering a purple frog starts to make a little more sense, if you put it in the context of PM and Redfrog. Is that what's worth all the money; the "message"? And, the owner is even from Alberta, how poetic? Whatever. But I see why it got someone banned, over there. Man, I'm dense!

Good hunting. LB

Posted by Possumal (Member # 823) on October 28, 2010, 02:29 AM:

Hi Leonard, I am particularly feelumbad this a.m. with my sinus infection progressing, but I can't help but ask you if you are having any trouble with the presets that work when the frog's ass puckers. [Eek!]

If you'll reconsider Big George's offer, I'll pledge $5.00 I don't have since my recent trip to the horsepistol to help defray the old alligator hunter's overhead. [Razz]

Posted by pitw (Member # 3685) on October 28, 2010, 06:52 AM:

Leonard as I have not figured out how to quote you on this forum yet[computer stupid] I have to address your response this way. Yes I'm from Alberta[born and raised 100 years since my grand dad walked here from down south] but if anyone calls the Redfrog an Albertan it would be to me like someone calling an invasive species "indigenous ".

Posted by Rich (Member # 112) on October 28, 2010, 08:27 AM:

So RedFrog and PitW are the same person? No wonder the frog howler ain't for sale. [Big Grin]

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on October 28, 2010, 08:30 AM:

Al, I didn't have any prob with presets, at all. Randy Reeves showed me his "cheat sheet" he has stuck on the back of his TX500. I failed to get a blank one from him, but I intend to do something similiar because I can't remember anything but P2, P3, and P9?

Pit, I'm going up that way, in December, (Edmonton, (maybe Saskatoon) then on to Shellbrook) I'm going to do a little hunting with my buddy, Albert Pilling who wins all the contests up there, these days. He must be famous, now, since I taught him everything he knows. Me and Huber.

So, Redfrog is your neighbor, huh?

Good hunting. ElBee

Posted by Dan Carey (Member # 987) on October 28, 2010, 10:48 AM:

How could you be so disrespectful to such a great man (in his mind) or is that such a great reptile. I'd autograph that call in a NY minute.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on October 28, 2010, 11:13 AM:

I'm sure you meant, "amphibian", right?

Hey, since you didn't show up, we all talked about ya. DanS said he wanted to show and tell a rifle you did for him that he is ever so proud of, but we voted to make the campsite an AR FREE ZONE, this year. Too bad, but rules are rules. lol

Good hunting. LB

Posted by DanS (Member # 316) on October 28, 2010, 11:44 AM:

I had my (used to be mine) 17 Rem AR, and the 6WOA upper you did for Brent. I was even going to let loose an Airedale, but there was too many of them. So I used My Fav 22-250 AI...

You just can't unleash all that at once on some people.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on October 28, 2010, 12:41 PM:

Yeah, I was a little disappointed, but AR Shaw was genuinely crushed. He has really come to depends on that quick third and fourth follow up shot. As well as that Hail Mary #5.

Good hunting. LB

Never heard of Albert Pilling but that is hardly any surprise as I don't do any contest hunts. I've hunted coyotes since one ate my favorite fowl when I was 8-9years old. Killing them is my way of getting even I suppose but they are also by far the most fun there is out here on the prairies. I did go down to KY last February just to see what the problem with the fellows in the East was for getting coyotes and I'm now glad I never beaked off about some of their success rates as it is an entirely different game there.
I am situated just about half way from Edmonton to Saskatoon and drive by Shellbrook probably 10 times a year. Do you hunt coyotes in Saskatchewan too?

Rich said, "So RedFrog and PitW are the same person? No wonder the frog howler ain't for sale. [Big Grin]".
That could make me an enemy for ever as there is more integrity in every piece of snot I blow out than in that [Stupid computers won't let me type what I want to say]'s being.
Barry

If you mean neighbor as in [Living in close proximity] to me as opposed to {person I'd visit or help in any way]. Then yes the amphibian slithered in to my area[some thirty miles away] about 8 years ago.

I heard G worked over Shaw's safety and he can't even fire a shot anymore.

Stay after them

Man is this a tough crowd.

A frog may be an amphibian.
redfrog the cold blooded belly crawling snake, is a reptile.
Sorry I missed the camp out!!

Posted by Nikonut (Member # 188) on October 29, 2010, 08:48 AM:

Hey Rich,

PitW is one of the only good Canadians I know! He's an alright guy from what I've seen and read over at F'n'F. I know he hates the frog as much as any of us do, like SEMP said, maybe more! LOL

Did you guys know Redfrog was really from California... honest, that's where he used to live! [Big Grin]

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on October 29, 2010, 10:04 AM:

Boy, that figures! The Land Of The Fruits And The Nuts ......and fat Canadian refuges. I'm getting the hell out of here, first chance I get! Dan, I could use a small loan ($XXX,000) at a competitive, (meaning "low") interest rate. I will use my CS24L and left nut as collateral. Can you help me out?

In the meantime, I'm renting the upstairs bedrooms to Canadian tourists. Never heard of Albert Pilling? Unbelieveable!

Good hunting. LB

Posted by Rich (Member # 112) on October 29, 2010, 02:28 PM:

PitW,

Nikle Nut says you ain't the Frog. Post a photo of your belly as proof would ya please? [Big Grin]

Posted by Dan Carey (Member # 987) on October 29, 2010, 07:08 PM:

"Did you guys know Redfrog was really from California... honest, that's where he used to live!"

Was he in prison there?

Posted by Dan Carey (Member # 987) on October 29, 2010, 07:17 PM:

For reference.

Posted by pitw (Member # 3685) on October 30, 2010, 06:41 AM:

My belly isn`t my signature like some I know. I have another feature that has been used for identification purposes.

I usually have it turned down so as not to offend anyone.

But can turn it up quickly when in close proximity to slithering frogs.

(note the belly)

And then there is always this way of identifying me.

Posted by Possumal (Member # 823) on October 30, 2010, 07:08 AM:

Leonard, something else you might or might not consider that can help you remember your ten presets: With your KiYi of choice taking up Preset 1, that leaves 9 to remember. If you use Preset 0 in the way I have explained before to quieten your ecaller without actually muting it so Foxbang will work, that reduces you to 8 to remember. Arrange Preset 2 through 4 as your favorite coyote vocals, and that only leaves 5 to remember. Then do Preset 5 through 9 as your favorite prey species distress, and you have all ten memorized, all based on preferential order.

Good hunting at ya!

Posted by Semp (Member # 3074) on October 31, 2010, 05:01 PM:

"Nikle Nut says you ain't the Frog."

Its for damn certain he is not the toadster.

I think they broke the mold when they made pitw.

Posted by Krustyklimber (Member # 72) on October 31, 2010, 10:42 PM:

Pitw could be Jerry Malbeck though, since they both have the same two "identifying features" I think... well at least the first one.

So I gotta ask, Pitw, how'd ya lose the digit?

Krusty

Posted by Possumal (Member # 823) on November 01, 2010, 05:47 AM:

Krusty, he no doubt was trying to perfect the Buckethead shuffle on the frozen tundra, and pinched it right off when the handle closed on the digit when he fell head first into a pile of, well a pile is nuff said. [Eek!]

Posted by Rich (Member # 112) on November 01, 2010, 07:40 AM:

Jerry Malbeck? Isn't he the feller who used to mount
a low power scope on top of the regular scope on his black rifle? [Big Grin]

Posted by pitw (Member # 3685) on November 02, 2010, 08:39 AM:

I've lost car keys I never found either. This one managed to get itself smashed between a piece of flying metal and a very solid structure. Pretty lucky really as it was only a couple inch's from my head.

Posted by George Ackley (Member # 898) on February 04, 2011, 10:35 AM:

pitw

I should of posted this back in December and I do apologize to he call maker that gifted it to me.
it is the flagship of my collection .
not only dose it sound great but how he finished the wood part to the cow horn is the sine of a true craftsman.

so sorry pitw my offer for your call is now retracted [Razz]

i guess you know whats on the other side [Big Grin]

Posted by Rich (Member # 112) on February 07, 2011, 09:32 AM:

Hey Leonard, do you still have that pretty Higgins howler? I will give you $1.50 for it.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on February 07, 2011, 10:15 AM:

Of course I still have it! I keep it in a hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar in the gun safe between trips. Used to make it hard to blow, but then I came up with a solution to keep it in the jar with the mouthpiece upright, which makes cleaning simple. I just shake it off and wipe it out with the tail of my shirt. No more gobs of mayonnaise choking me on the first series. UGG! That stuff gets nasty, when not refrigerated for a while, but it is helpful when I forget the "mist."

A buck and a half? You must really think I'm stupid? I could get twice that, without even trying!

Good hunting. LB

Posted by HuntnCarve (Member # 3527) on February 09, 2011, 01:40 PM:

I make all my calls to hunt first and foremost. Yeah, alot of them end up sitting on a display. But that's the owners decision. Some of it may be mine for not wanting to make calls like everybody else does?

I bet that first one will rattle some ears. Stunning art work... I like it!

Posted by pitw (Member # 3685) on February 10, 2011, 05:26 PM:

I can attest to the fact that the Latex howler looks better in hand than in a picture. I can also say that all Daves calls from closed reed hunting calls to top of the line horn howlers all work in the field.
