Custom slate call striker

Recommended Posts

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.

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. 👍

OK hoghntr, just got back from San Carlos tonight, story pending.

I will say the bear claw striker called in a nice Tom opening morning, then my friend Terry shot him. I knew that was going to happen! ☺
