 I discovered Friday that apparently I dropped my favorite striker in the woods Thursday morning! It's my Strike King from Max!!  So if anyone finds that gorgeous green & grey laminated beauty lying in a logging road in Amherst County . . . 
I'll go back to look for it this week, but since I don't hunt too far from the roads during the week so I can get out quick to go to work, and since it's been lying there over a weekend in the National Forest, I'm betting it's gone.

Know your pain. Dropped a beautiful bocote striker made by Rick Powell last year somewhere in Montgomery county. I agree the Strike King is a good striker. Works great one of my favorite slate calls. |

I use a rosewood striker and absolutely love it. I've dropped so many over the years that I went out and bought every one I could find. I carry three of them with me every time I go out now just in case. |

I'm always really careful in the woods. I never just carry things like that around in my hand. I had it in my vest, I guess it just fell out when I ducked under a limb or something. It wouldn't be so bad if it were some junky it-came-with-a-so-so-call striker. It was my "confidence call." Hopefully it'll be like Dumbo's 'Magic Feather' . . . 
At least it looks like I'm in good company with some other butter-fingered turkey chasers. |

It seems like even if you replace the striker/call with the exact one, it never sounds as good as the first. Its unfortunate I've lost a few myself, I hope you find it. |

I feel your pain. I hate loosing stuff in the woods. My buddy John lost his weeding band last year. He was a newly wed, and I don't think that pleased his new bride much! |

I wish I had lost my wedding band in the woods instead of at the lawyers! |

I dropped mine in a movie theater shortly after we got married and it rolled all the way to the front. I figured I'd just get it after the movie was over . . . I didn't see the rest of the movie. Fortunately, my ring stays on my finger in the woods . . . although my wife sometimes wonders if I should just take it off April 1st and put it back on May 15th or so . . .
