“Outta Sight” 1 of 1 By: Clayborn Dotson "Beyond the Horizon" A solitary C-10 Chevy rests in a field, its rugged exterior contrasting with a coyote stealthily hunting nearby. Within the truck bed lies a box call crafted from Tupelo, Cedar, and Walnut wood. The C-10 itself is constructed from Mango and Basswood, with spent 9mm cartridges ingeniously repurposed as tire center caps and headlights. Original 1 of 1 By Clayborn Dotson
