Got a SERIOUS auction going on!
« on: April 20, 2008, 12:36:21 AM »
Check out this AWESOME artwork I had done on two of my calls!   :o  MAN OH MAN!

I'm keeping the call on the right, and auctioning off the one on the left to go towards handicapped and youth hunts our 'local website' hosts and assists with. 

I put it up for auction this afternoon.  It got SERIOUS tonight when the bid hit $100, and in less than an hour, it was at $200!

I've still got to get finish put on these calls, and the guts dropped in.  The winner gets to decide whether they want it to be a slate or aluminum call.

Those are sweet. I love the gobbling bird. Good luck with the auction. I wish I had the coin to bid on it. Tell us how high it went for.     Ryan

Through the hunts and fishing trips we put on, many of these folks have became my best friends, so I know WHO actually benefits, which is awesome.

Both of those are spectactular. Great work. And it is really great when the hunting community can pull together like that and help out the less fortunate. Great going on your part Parker, for your assistance in that worthwhile project.

Who did the art work? Was it just someone local or a professional? It is really great work.

Chancy Walters is the artist.  He does hunting and craft shows across the midwest.  Many of his paintings are on turkey tail feathers.

The call ended up going for $200.  No one was interested in out-bidding the highest bidder from Day #1.   ;D

Congratulations Parker on doing such a great job that those folks bid it up so high. That is going to be a nice contribution to that group. Nice going.

Thanks guys.  I sure like how they turned out.  Mr. Walters really did a good job on them. 

I'm looking forward to hanging mine in my living room too.   ;D
