For those who might not know the name, Mervis marketed the Chien Caille speck call that a friend of his by that ("spotted dog," ie: bird dog/woman chaser) nick name developed by combining a homemade cowchew reed with an olt predator call body. Mervis opularized the loo-loo-loo-loo... school of speck calling that once rang throughout SWLA rice country and the standing white spreads with ghostly "fliers" that then dotted it. And he won the LA State speck calling contest before what he considered having "the good sense to quit competing while still the champ".
We disagreed on a good many things, but I always enjoyed taking folks wanting Chien Cailles to his place for the cultural experience of being fitted with one. Miss that.
