Yes, I agree. I listen to hen recordings and hens in the wild as much as possible. Most of the time I am practicing, I am trying to mimic a real hen in a sound file. I was actually just comparing my most recent recording of me calling on a trumpet to a recording of a wild hen realier today... I need more practice!

However, unfortunately I havent found  any videos of wild turkey hens offering  tips and tricks on how to make a trumpet call sound more like a real wild hen. Thats typically when i turn to videos of people running trumpet calls. Just watching and listening with the hopes of seeing or hearing somthing that helps me mimmic that real hen better. I also just really enjoy hearing people call well on a trumpet call. Its like watching a skilled musician play their instrument. For me, the trumpet is just for fun.

Additionally, I am well aware that my trumpet calling doesnt sound all that realistic. Hence the position i have held in earlier posts on this thread. Also why i typically prefer a mouth call for realism in situations where a "short stroked yelp" might hinder my chances of calling in the turkey.

You get no more information from watching other people sound files. Very rarely is a good caller making a vocalization then explaining what they are doing. You have to listen, then experiment on producing the sound. You can do the same with a live hen videos.

I was not surprised to see the price increase, but approx 35% is substantial. I would guess that most turkey hunters don't shoot more than 5-10 rounds a year, the cost while high, most will still continue to buy a box or two for the performance and confidence they offer.

I hunted spring Gobblers 20 straight years with a bow or crossbow except for one morning i carried a 20 ga. The past several years i started shotgunning again.

I'll have to go count but i think i have 6 each 12 and 20 tss loaded up and 8 lbs of TSS and 2 boxes of .410. Ill run the over under 20 with TSS in the top barrel and lead in the bottom barrel or carry the crossbow.

The last TSS i bought was $55 a pound i see its $92 now. If i kill 2 a year at 67 years old i should be setting pretty. If i don't miss LOL.

Now were talking about the true sound of the trumpet, Gentlemen.  This is exactly what I put up this thread for.  I personally don't hear the YE AWK (high and low) of the hen in the trumpet.  Maybe it's the novice in me but many of the Top Notch, Bonifide trumpet players don't have it either IMO.  I have to say though, The Trumpet gets it done!  Is it the cadence or pitch or frequency that fires up those stubborn Gobblers?  Redwad has made a post that talks about his dog's reaction to the trumpet.  I have always wondered if any of our calls (boxes, pots, diaphragms etc) has to have that certain Frequency.  Interesting to Think and Talk about.
