[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2603643, member: 91783"] We are still getting in or very near the low 90's here every day , but it feels differently now then in the early summer the air and sun fell different now they feel like fall is getting here and it is getting closer every day . It won't be long and people will be getting that old familiar urge to get out and do some hunting , the age old pursuit of game to get us through the harder times of the winter months . For those of us that hunt the coyote and other predators for fur it's going to be a while yet before they prime up , as we know they prime due to the length of the daylight not the temperatures , and at different times depending on what species they are . Red fox before coyote and bobcats after the coyote . A lot of us live in areas where the pelts aren't worth much , monetarily , just as a feeling of being able to get out and hunt something even if it's just killing time and challenging ourselves to see what we can do . I got out in the garage and turned myself a call out of Brazilin Ebony last week , soaked it in the wood stabilizer and am now putting the finishing coats of polyurethane on it . Even though I put it under a vacuum in the wood hardener it still took 3 days for me to feel comfortable that it was fully soaked through the wood . I wait at least 24 hours between coats of the polyurethane and it will get 3 as a minimum . I started learning with open reed calls and so most of mine are open reed calls .
