what size shot? 2's?

are those daisy cutters the old one's?

Rick wrote:I'd heard the 40th SB's bore had been opened back up to its early self, of which I had one that was nearly as loud as the early DCs. Think that when they nutted the DC it and the SB were so close that they tightened the later's bore to create more differentiation.
Was a bit of "history" to that old hedge SB, in that Nathan Wright (Redbone Calls) had given it to James Meyers (Riceland Calls) back when they were good buddies, and James gave it to me when he and Bill started making duck calls. It was a heck of a ducky call, but not one I favored in the field, so I passed it along to Jack Cousin who was working with and learning from those two. He may have burned it for kindling, but I thought a lot of it.

Rick wrote:40th DC showed yesterday, and I took it for a short truck ride this morning "just to see". Puts me more in mind of my early SB than DC, as it's crisp and nimble, rather than harsh and less responsive like my half-scroll. Also rings. Re: "rasp," it has plenty for me and doesn't rattle like the Lares calls I've run, which I think a good thing. Just a real nice call and one of the rare ones that suits me well without tuning for fit.
Definitely an improvement over my 2011 DC pre toneboard tinkering and tuning, but I'll have to run them together for better comparison. Which I don't suppose would thrill Sweet Chereaux and the grandson who spent the night who are still sleeping. Believe I'll take that pair of DCs to the country with the dogs this morning.

Once at Hood Lake was hunting with some old-timers. Leaned over and asked them, "want to try and shoot these?". They whispered yes so I gave them the teal routine real quick. Both them old guys said, "I'll be dog gone" when they all turned and lit in the decoys.
