    It actually took me less time to get proficient with a trumpet than a mouth call, it's all in how much you practice and what grade trumpet you run IMHO. Let's hook up at the river again Tom will come and I know a few others as well, and tell Stevie to bring the pickled asparagus and we'll get Tom to bring the duck sticks!

    I can come to Columbia, (but prefer not to)......start looking at the calender.... the BBMSC is always available... limited number of bunks in the A/C..... that's important in June and July around passin out time...

    We keep enough fish in the freezer to feed an army of skinny hippies and I have a "few" Gobblers in the freezer too....

    With some heads up a head of time I could make it b/c I'm one of those that are wanting to get a trumpet call too

    Nitro, If I put in an order say ....now, would I have the caller before the season next year so I could practice with it a bit to get the hang of using it? Just curious really, either way I think I'm going to place an order. Going to need some info on how to go about ordering one too I suppose.

    First off, I've got to get a good quality trumpet. I made two from wingbones of birds I shot two seasons ago, and the variation in sound between the two was very surprising. I'd love to get a good quality trumpet (I can't afford a collection at this point, but one quality trumpet would be nice) that I can learn on.

    Second, I'll agree with what Ricky said it's not that hard to learn to call on a trumpet, but learning to sound like a turkey is a completely different story. I got a bird to gobble a couple times with one of my wingbone calls this spring when he wouldn't answer anything else in my vest, but I wasn't proficient enough to seal the deal with it. I have a feeling it'll be a couple years before I'm proficient enough to use one regularly, but when I am you can bet I'll use one almost every morning. It is the most fun to use call I have.

    I have lots of success stories using a trumpet call (and some not so successful), but the best recent story is one of a "Named" gobbler that had been hunted by a really skilled hunter for 13 mornings. Bird would hammer it on the roost and hit the ground and stick...He was called to (with great skill) by my friend with everything but a trumpet...

    I was called to assist and on the 14th morning this Gobbler was dead about 10 minutes after flydown.. Double beard with 1 3/8inch spurs..

    A trumpet can make one die..when nothing else has..After that little demo, My buddy has now converted to a trumpet and has killed 6 in the last two years with a trumpet call...

    Default A little history...

    On call origins...

    I highly recommend getting a copy of Howard Harlan's book if interested. It's a wealth of knowledge on the subject.

    I talked to Mr.Buice for over an hour yesterday. Never gets old talking to him about calls and the last 40 some odd years of him building them. My Ironwood call will be here next week...Can't wait!

    Wash it out good. (Unlike Mr. Billy, I DID NOT have a dip in when I ran it.) Thank God (and Mr. Billy) for interchangeable mouthpieces.
