Hey, trying is the only way of finding out if something tickles your fancy. I think it was a great job. You did a good job on the call, even if you don't like it. Heck, someone else may think it is the greatest call they have ever seen. Good on you for posting. Thanks.
I bought a cabin in the mountains a few years ago. In the lean to on the back side was a bunch of antlers. One was a particularly nice rack, big 4x4 with pretty good eye guards. I guess you eastern folks would call that a 10 point. The rack was probably 25 inches wide on the inside. Like I said, a nice rack. But they had been hung on the outside of a building for a number of years and were really white and crappy looking. Just for the fun of it, I had some muted copper paiint and so I sprayed them. Well, they came out OK. The paint job was fine, but the copper color was a bit strange. But that summer, when my Grandson, who was 12 at the time, saw them, he though they looked wonderful. I said he could have them if he wanted them. You wouild have thought I had given him a new gun, he was so pleased.
So you see, even if you don't think they are the cats meow, someone else may, and that is why these forums are so wonderfu. To share and talk about, and try different things.
