Anybody here know Leonard Carr of Talladega that makes Hatchett Creek Calls? His phone doesn't seem to work anymore and I don't know how to locate him. I sure hope he hasn't gone out of business. Thanks for any help.

PM yekrut. He probably would know.

Lol

Preacher, there is a hatchett creek cases (makes some awesome shadow boxes) on Facebook from seale, al and a hatchett creek hunting preserve from rockford, al. I'll keep looking and see what else I can find.

Carr, Leonard
9 Sugar Creek Lane
Talladega, AL 35160

Yea, that's him, but his phone rings once and then stops. Nobody ever answers. I wanted to get a dozen of his calls, but I can't find any way to buy them. A local store still has a few last year's calls, but said they haven't heard from him this year.

I may have to learn to use something else.

There is a guy at the below link at alducks that says he knows how to get up with him.

You tried both of these numbers?

256-589-2171 or 256-362-3205

Jimmy at Sylacuaga Outdoors usually has some. I sure hope Leonard is OK.

Jimmy closed down.

I've only tried the 3205 number; just tried the other one and it seems to work, though nobody answered. I'll try it again later.

Thanks Yekrut! Didn't know you were a detective in addition to being a Turkey Slayer.

I believe its closed. Looked that way when I went by there a few days ago.

Only place I've found any is the Sure Shot in Alex City, but they are last year's calls.

Who needs a mouth call? Y'all weogufka boys are supposed to be able to call up turkeys with a blade of grass.

You greatly underestimated my usefulness around this place, that was just working off of my phone last night.

I know Leonard. I got a call from a local callmaker several years ago from Munford and got invited to his shop. The guys was doing a lot of woodwork for Woodhaven at the time. About midway through my visit, Leonard came in and had a cigar box full of calls. He told me he was getting into call making so he could go on his dream hunt which was some place in Missouri. I liked his calls and have made several orders with him. I will call my friend Alan who runs around with Leonard. I will try to get a number for you.

I told y'all yekrut would know.
You da man!

You can't tell em nothing leroy, I been trying to tell em I know everything for years.

Thanks BC. I just tried the first number Yekrut posted. Still doesn't get an answer and the recording doesn't identify whose number it is. I left a message, so maybe he will call me back.

I'm tired of carrying a bunch of different mouth calls, and was just gonna buy a dozen from him if he would sell them that way. I can make any call with his Screaming Green or the 3 Reed Inverted Green, except a kee kee. I need a ghost cut to make it, but never use a kee kee anyway.

If he is out of business, maybe I can pay Yekrut a whole lot of money to copy it for me.

He works cheap PCP.

You probably have a package on its way already.

Send me your name and addy, good description of number of reeds and cut, and I will send you some to try out.
