Jonesing...

Last time I found myself jonesing for a call was in 1983, when a Callin' Pin Oak Susie inexplicably failed to make the move to Southwest Louisiana with my other calls, and I couldn't find another. Had to go through my second round of buying and trying prospects to find something, Robertson's Cutdown Reacher, I developed similar confidence in.
Much simpler, I hope, this time, as the LA Cut Singleton that had become EDC in a jeans pocket for truck and field use on the dog and my morning rounds is still made and on order - after repeatedly tearing the house and truck apart and retracing our last field route, twice. But, dang, I miss having it with me and fooling with all the ducks it could produce in my otherwise cutdown unfriendly hands.
Going to be a serious disappointment if I can't tune the next one to fit my purpose for it as well. Not to mention if it turns out distant birds don't find it as nifty as I have.
