Trumpet hunting question?

[davisd9]

Who wears gloves when calling with trumpets? I think I have decided to just leave the gloves at home since I use trumpets as much as I do. Really do not want to put paint or anything on my hands to have to clean off and do not think bare hands will hurt anything. Thoughts or opinions?

I do the same thing, gloves just deaden the trumpet, can't stand wearing them. I do have a pair of wool gloves that have no fingers, just slip over the thumb, I wear them and then flip them back over my hand when calling. Depends on how cold it is.

when I am running a trumpet in the woods hunting, I take my gloves off. I just cant do it with them on and make the trumpet sound good.

I wear brown jersey gloves with the middle 2 fingers cut off just past the first knuckle. I learned from last year that it's different wearing gloves. I don't feel right with bare skin showing. I don't know for sure if gloves actually change the sound of the call that the turkey hears but it sure makes it sound different to your ears while playing. I recorded myself wearing gloves  last year and it still sounded like my calling .

Gloves and trumpets don't play well together for me either.  I put Carbo Mask on the back of my hands. Doesn't rub off on stuff, but comes off easily with makeup wipes.

I have all the fingers cut out of my gloves and that helps a lot. It still muffles the sound a little though. Maybe we should look into these: (in black)

These help

I have tried gloves with the fingers cut out but the palm seems to muffle the sound. I have hunted since Wednesday with no gloves and it does not seem to have mattered so far. Del mentioned a palmless duck calling glove that would probably work well but I think I may try the stuff Mr. Mike recommended or burnt cork. Just could not think of a turkey that I killed because I was wearing gloves or one that got away because I did not have any on. Only reason i started wearing them was because I was told you had to. I appreciate all the comments!

Show up in the woods with those rubber gloves and a cowhorn yelper and you will scare half the gobblers into silence, thinking it's a stethoscope and your there for the yearly spring doctors checkup

Lol, not a bad idea!!!

I just take mine off when I'm running the trumpet and put them back on if I get the chance. if not. I just go without them.

Why not just cut the palms out? leave the fingers and cuff.

These work good if it is cold out.

When setting up old school , in front of the tree , I still use mechanix gloves or Bob Allen shooting gloves and do not think it has hurt my success in the last 2 yrs running trumpets almost exclusively. But Damn I hate gloves using scratchboxes. I can't seem to get the stroke right with them on . but the trumpets are working fine thru gloved hands . Maybe they help me tone down some IDK, being hard of hearing I do call loud on all callers.

I use camoskinz gloves- thin and form fitting. tried with and without  not much different, but depends on how cold it is, too
