Can you identify the maker of this call
« on: March 17, 2017, 09:04:08 PM »
This call was given to me from a friend and it has H. J. Harris on the tone board. Can anyone give me any info on the call or builder. I will try and get a picture posted as I am not sure I can get that done.
Thanks
Dan

Joel Harris.   He makes a very fine Reelfoot style duck call

Joel lives in Troy, TN which is just east of Reelfoot lake.
