Not sure if this will work but this is a recording from 2024 when I got the trumpet.
Way to much air

Good one Greg. I do believe they are creatures of habit. In my areas, Gobblers of many generations do the same thing year after year(unless the get spooked). Like you, I've had gobblers come the same way/time in my key spots every year. You are very strategic with your property, not pre-season calling and minimal pre-opener pressure. All this is why you are successful! Good luck this season my friend.

The involvement of the Chinesse government ...trying to monopolize several minerals , over the last 20 years is a big contributor , the Ukranian war , with the demand on munitions (including anti drone bird shot) has probably motivated the chinesse (government/ PLA ) to take advantage and exploit the situation



Notice USA munition companies have exclusive mining logistics -

Like gas the price will go up and down .... but the increase in price will probably be a detrimental factor in waterfowl hunters who use tss.shot

Look for the industry get back into the 12-14gg ammo big time, same with premium lead turkey ammo

Quote from: ol bob on February 17, 2026, 08:36:06 AMBilly and I traded at least 1 call a year, always in person, with the words this is for you. The last few years we both knew that the other was not able to hunt, but it was a part of us that we were leaving with the other, because we lived so far apart and couldn't see each other often. All of these calls are priceless because that's all I have left of him. Some thing you can't put a price on, to me and a lot of other people Billys calls are one of them.

well said. mine wont ever be for sale. thats a fact

I made this a couple years back to help folks that purchase trumpets from me.  Maybe someone will find it useful.  If I already shared this I apologize.

Hopefully the bumper crop of hard mast that seems to have blanketed most of the country this year helps them through the tough weather.

Sad to see the massive wildfires ripping across Kansas and Oklahoma right now.

The Federal TSS is still pretty reasonably priced-at least for now

Quote from: jdl80 on February 18, 2026, 09:32:05 PMAm I missing something? It looks like a life jacket with pockets, like the guys have to wear while wade fishing controlled dams in some places. The real tree guys ripping off mossy oak with limited edition vests with metal zippers on call pockets is kinda wild too?

I think the same thing then I see how many people out there are willing to spend it... Kinda like the early YETI days, everyone balked at the price until you started seeing one in every boat / truck bed you passed - now I cant even count how many high dollar roto molded cooler companies there are. (Shoutout to the OG IcyTeks for those that remember)

Price would have to be astronomical for me to stop shooting it. I don't shoot over 40 yards but the confidence it gives me when I misjudge a shot or have to shoot through some trash I didn't notice is irreplaceable. 15-30 shots a year is expensive but in my mind it is worth it, and as someone else mentioned, negligible in the grand scheme of what we spend on turkey hunting.
