Wingbone Call with burned image.




Pyrography is any art created by fire on a variety of mediums. Most common is wood or paper but also can have amazing detail and realism when done on leather and bone. Here is an example of true pyrography done on a Wild Turkey Wing Bone Call. The image is just over one and a half inches long and was created using a stippling effect. Stippling is an art form creating an image using hundreds of tiny dots.

Wild Cherry Box Call Lid Hot Off the Burner



This custom burned Wild Cherry Box Call Lid was just completed for a good friend. Gobbler Head and Whitetail Deer. The deer image is from a picture of a head mount he has in his house. A very nice whitetail brought to life on the lid. I believe the Cherry lid will be played over a Walnut core. Can't wait to see & hear the call when completed.

My Daughters third Grouse hunt trip payed off


My daughter loves coming out with me and my pointer Colt to chase birds. Last week her patience payed off and we got a nice grey phase ruffed grouse which she insisted on carrying it the entire way.

My first Crossbow Whitetail Deer


2 weeks ago I bagged my first Whitetail Deer in northern Minnesota. I was using my Horton Vision175 Crossbow and took the shot at 20 yards to fill my bonus tag. I had major bicep surgery over a year ago that left unable to draw my bow. I was awarded a lifetime crossbow permit which I'm putting to use.

Fast Eddie bags 1st ever Ruff Grouse


Hunting the early September grouse season in the Chippewa National Forest near Leech lake MN can be a blast. Walking the first 1/4 mile Colt my blue Wimeraner put up 13 grouse. We only got one! Dues to the extremely warm fall weather here the trees had all their foliage still giving you a window of 3 seconds to make a shot. I missed 4 birds and Dad bagged his first. A nice 2 year old male with a full Ruff and Tail.
