Robertson told me they hired a real production crew (6 or 9 grand?) and took a lot longer (couple or three seasons?) than it appears to make and was still worried about it paying for itself at the time. Gave me a copy, which remains the best of its kind I've seen, and I returned it so he could give someone else that chance. Couple of rubes with no clue what that video would ignite, we were.
Being as how the statute of limitations has surely run out, he also showed me the photo of a dinosaur of an alligator he and Coco allegedly caught, measured with a length of the rope they tied it up with at 14' and released during the filming or preparation for it. That rodeo would have probably made for better footage than the deer I've heard he flipped with a rifle on a later video.
Next couple videos were disappointing and hopefully made on the very cheap before hiring better help again but turning hunts into how-red-can-you-go? shows I couldn't stomach. 'Course, that's the image that mass-marketed them through the roof, so I plainly know nothing.
Please note, Robertson and I weren't the big buddies the above might suggest (he called me "Hall"), just a couple guys with similar interests that crossed our paths in the "Way back when..."
I never met him but Gary did. It's taking a long time but slowly he's opening up for me. Eventually I'll know everything about this call and who did what to it.
It says " modified by Gary Perinar" on the ring.
Here's the guts. Sigh I can't take it apart it's stuck stuck stuck.
There are two reeds and I can see file marks on the end of the insert.
Quack
