Couestracker Report post Posted March 24, 2017 I've had this idea for a long time. I got the striker from the late Marvin Robbins and his Timberline calls business, and I got the bear claw from a friend of mine in Phoenix Varmint Callers (thanks Rich!) several years ago. Well, I finally made time to make it happen. The fur was donated by a coyote I called/shot some years back and had tanned. What do you think, yay or nay so far? Be honest, lol! I still want to fill the two groves near the fur with turquoise colored thread, then fill in between with black thread. Then I'm going to burn a couple of turkey tracks on the large part of the shaft. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRKHNTR Report post Posted March 24, 2017 I like your idea but I would put it on a different striker and send your Marvin Robbins striker to me for safe keeping. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoghntr Report post Posted March 31, 2017 I like your idea but I would put it on a different striker and send your Marvin Robbins striker to me for safe keeping. I think it's super cool and a ingenious. It's getting better use than my call of Marvins but I do keep in a place that's quite sacred to me. 👍 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
