He's "competent"

Just a tad.......

After listening to Rev. Zach again, I realize we all have a long ways to go to achieve "Master" status...

[ccleroy]

That's a fact, Jack!

[Savduck]

Billy Buice..........hands down the master. I'm sending him some IPE and Ebony today for 2 more trumpets.

You ever get your Lignum I sent to him for you.

I just talked to him yesterday, I've got one coming from him. I'm lot sure if it's out of that block but he said it's some of the nicest he's had and he played it over the phone, sounded phenomenal.

Well damn, we only wrote your name on it when I mailed it. He called and told me it was good stuff. He was saving the other two blocks I sent him for he and Jaimie. I bet its your piece.

Old stuff dude. has history too. Was part of a bearing in a World War two boat. text me a picture when you get it.


Got my eyes on two Permars next. Trying to decide which one I want.

I got a Mopane coming too....can't wait until they get here:

Why not just get a regular wing bone? Killed many birds with them. Not really hard to make but I've bought a few and friends have made me some. First one I ever bought was from Ike Ashby at the Sportsman's Classic. He's the one who first told me to choose one with an elliptical shaped mouth piece. I didn't know why at first, I thought because of the sound. Not really, it's just easier to yelp on if you turn it sideways.
Edited: Also never understood the point of the stupid rubber pieces on the mouth part. If you can even half way use the call the part it totally unnecessary.

I find that a well made trumpet sounds better than any wingbone caller.. Too many variables in the bone internal diameters... most folks that are making wingbone calls from Gobbler bones are too low in tone. I find that Gobblers respond better to a higher pitch call..

Hen bones are smaller in diameter of course and high pitched yelps are not a problem if you use hen bones..

Just my opinion and experience of course.

[CAMO SNOB]

Is it not illegal to posses hen bones in SC?... I heard that it's illegal to have them even if you find a dead hen on the side of the road???

Hell if I know... Best sounding wingbone call I own is one Lovett Williams made from Osceola hen bones and gave to me a long time ago. It sounds OK. but I play a trumpet call much better.

I have found the value of a good Trumpet. Several died to trumpet this year and many more will in the future. Working on a prototype as we speak!

Sounds better to you or a turkey? First of all, these calls don't sound the most like a hen to begin with but that doesn't stop gobblers from loving these type calls. I certainly don't think I've had a problem with gobblers not liking the sound of a wingbone.

All the ones my friends have made have been from gobbler bones. They don't have to be made from hens.

I'm getting better at my flute tooting. I may have the balls to try it on a turkey next year. I got as far as hanging it around my neck on one hunt this year, but I was by myself, and protected against any photographic evidence.

You know what, I am sure your depth and breadth of Turkey killing and hunting knowledge vastly out measures mine..

I can't ask all the Turkeys I have called up in the last 26 years of using Trumpets for their opinions....... they are all dead.

I will defer to your obviously much higher level of expertise in these matters. I'm out.

If the dinner table demo in TX was any indicator, you are ready to hunt with your Trumpet. Nothing builds confidence like using a call to bring a Gobbler into range. You can do it !!!

Keep it in your vehicle this off season- until March. Play it every day. Learn to call with one hand. I am always available to help if possible. See you in a few weeks. I will have your Mesquite call..
