Opening day trumpet?

[nitro]

Old faithful?? Remind us all again, how many years you been hunting with a trumpet?? 4 or is it 5?? Counting 2020 of course.  Seems to me, you are still in the honeymoon phase. 

Dag um buddy!  You starting off the morning with those tough questions making me feel uneasy and all. 

This is a question that I have started trying to avoid answering.  It is just so hard to choose.  Do you go to your old faithful, do you go to one that you were close with but just did not work out, or do you go to the new girl(s) in town?  I am fortunate that I should have the opportunity at seven tags this year and fortunately I have seven calls I want to hunt, 3 KPs, 3 Buice, and a Prudhomme.  Question is which is first up to bat?  Right now the three front runners are KP Cocuswood, Buice LV, and Prudhomme Ironwood.  It is hard going to be very hard not to slip my KP Bois De Rose around my neck as she has been faithful to me.  I just do not know and the truth is, I will just probably wake up opening morning and have to make the decision and run with it.  Honestly any that I choose then is going to be just fine!

Well Mr. Garrett if you count 2020 it is my 7th year. Bought my first trumpet in 2011. Bought my first Buice in February 2013 and killed my first turkey with a trumpet April 2013. Compared to you and others, you are correct I am in the honeymoon phase I guess. Figure I never will be an expert on one and I am good with that. Being 34 and never hearing of a trumpet until I was 24-25, I guess I am doing alright. Good luck this spring!

I figure I'll be a rookie on a trumpet till I die. That's one of the things that makes it fun.

Your doing better than me Davis, I am nearly 60, have hunted turkeys since I was a little boy, and just played my first trumpet 3-4 years ago. Sure wish I had found them earlier, but still plenty of time to get better and enjoy them. By the way, I think you are doing great playing them, have a great Spring.

I usually carry two with me and tend to favor my new trumpets that haven't yet brought me a gobbler.  This year I'll start with a Buice 5.5" lignum vitae and a Dangerfield desert ironwood, then I'll work in my new Hornstra a bit. Three very different sounding trumpets.  Another honeymooner here, and enjoying every bit of it.

Personally I hope the honeymoon never ends.

I carry two, a turned trumpet and a Jordan-style cane yelper. Right now I'm very, very partial to Austy Bott's adjustable, easiest running trumpet I've owned.

But what do I know. Only been 16 years of trumpet marriage since I put a ring on it (a.k.a., harvest tag). Always remember your first trumpet long beard, right?

I'm definitely past the honeymoon stage, having had successful relations with Buices, Permars, Heglers, etc. So far, it's all been great. Doubt I'll be a crotchety trumpet-married man when I hit thirty plus years of experience.

                 I'm still on the honeymoon and hope it never ends as well. Subject to change of course,
                 right now, I plan on carrying my Permar 1940 model cocobolo. One of the best drawing,
                 easiest playing trumpets I own. Hope the local longbeards like it as much as I do!

I've been to a 50th wedding anniversary and I've been on 1 honeymoon. Hands down had a way better time on the honeymoon. Lol.
Gonna have my first Buice that I bought in the woods with me for the first one (6" Osage #3 MP). Cut my teeth with it and I just have more confidence in it as I have seen its aftermath. Then its whichever one I pick off of the display after that. (More than likely my Permar .45) its rude and crude.

I've always been a huge fan of the looks of Mr. Permar's trumpets. I've never played one, but they sure are good looking.

[Jfowler82]

My choice will be between Buice , Permar , or Ezolt . Probably will rotate them but don't think I can go wrong with any of them !

[Rzrbac]

This one. It's my favorite of the 3 Buice I own. It's gaboon Ebony with a #3 amodel mp.
