Turkey hunting forum for turkey hunting tips

Just rec. a trumpet from Seth Hamon, I would put it up against any ones,  workmanship, quality, playability, all outstanding, if you love trumpets and don't have one of his get on his list. I would post a picture but never learned how and to old to try now. Bob

I saw a pic of the one he made for you, it's hard to beat that combo. He makes a great call.

Seth makes a beautiful call. Mr Bob does too.
Here's some pictures of them. Get in contact with them if you don't have a few. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221007/7a6bb8a43d35f3d2edb637d7d92a163a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221007/9477a384808ce11a8be9339312443486.jpg)

Got this one from Seth earlier this year. Great guy to deal with and the quality & craftsmanship of his horn is outstanding. I would recommend you get on his list, you will not be disappointed

Seth is a great guy and makes a fine trumpet.

Thank you Bob Buckner.  I appreciate the good words.  That second picture Jim posted is actually one of Bobs, that's a Buckner trumpet with the fancy ferrule.

No better recommendation than that right there!!!

some good looking horns!

Exactly what Tony said, super recommendation!!!

For me there is no better feeling that another call maker wanting one of my calls, if they ask for a second that when you know your doing something right. 

Couple of fine looking trumpets, nice.

He does when it comes to the Davis yelper as he will only make 25 just like Permar did.

I'm wanting to know more about the tips. I love the looks of the oval brass & curious how the different styles of tips play. Any easier or harder than others?

Has anyone played a few of his with the different style tips that can fill me in on the experience?

Thanks!

I only have one of Seths' trumpets and it has the oval brass tip. It feels a little different than some of the tips made from other materials but I can't tell any difference in the way it runs, Mine is a good running trumpet and you sure can't beat Seths' craftsmanship, he makes great horns.

Perfect thanks!

I have oval tips on my horns from Seth. They are comfortable. I'm sure all his tips play great.

Man his stuff is nice! I ended up with a ultem tip. It's my first trumpet & wanted one specifically from Seth. Been lurking in the background researching for a few years now. I have to say it's way easier to play then I thought. Probably his design. I can already yelp, cluck & keekee with ease. Not purrfect of course but I just got it. Still playing around with the lip & back pressure but I can get it to play really high or low & rasp. Like I said, it's all new to me but have to say his trumpets are heirloom beautiful. Most important, easy to play for a beginner. I really love the fact I can make it high or raspy. I thought it would be a is what it is kinda thing.

First trip with it outdoors & hit it as soft as I could to hear it in the timber. Had two hens immediately talking back. One was at least 600 yards away through pines in a hardwoods creek bottom. It was pretty windy out too. I knew I had something special then. Great feeling.

Hat's off to Seth! Heck of a call. I'm addicted already.

I originally didn't have a list but as more folks asked for calls I decided to start one.

Cocus heart wood. Very special to me & something I plan to carry into the woods every time. Also an heirloom I plan to pass down to my son. Hoping to call his first turkey with only it, so it will soak some memories & add some soul. 

Man it sounds so good out in the woods. Crazy how far it penetrates through the timber & hardwood bottoms. Even with soft notes, it sounds to me like, it carries farther than any box or pot I have.

Hunting with a trumpet is all new to me, but I already know there is something special about Seth's. Already hiding money to get another from him one day.

Great looking call!

Big congrats to Seth! He's on fire.....

"Feel blessed to have placed alongside so many great call makers at Grand Nationals. Thanks to all the volunteers and judges for their hard work.  There is a reason why it's the best call makers contest on the planet.
5th in Trumpet out of almost 50 entries. It was crazy this year.
2nd in Jordan Yelper
2nd in Crow call
1st in Decorative Trumpet

2nd in Decorative Trumpet

Also just heard I was in the running for Best of show between 2 other makers but didn't get that.  It went to a well deserving maker and I'm super happy for them. "

Pics on on his FB & at the nwtf site.

Good job to the turkey pied piper!

Finally got to meet Seth at Nashville (my first trip) and run a bunch of his stuff.
Seth and his calls are top notch!!!!

I stood to the side and listened to two people who knew what they were talking about.

Lucky to call Seth a good friend. He makes an incredible call. Mud Osage and mammoth on this he made for me. Sounds just as good as it looks. Looking forward to hunting it this season.

You started off in pole position for trumpets with that cocuswood from Seth!  We can chat if you need tips on hiding money for turkey calls.  With years of practice I've learned a lot.

Thanks! Yeah I am truly overwhelmed at even the offer. Right place at the right time. I have no plans to shelf it either. It's going in the woods with me every time. I'm on his list, again, & can't wait to see what he does next. I had a bunch of ideas, but I'm just going to ask for something he likes.  I have no doubt it will be a killer. I think if I really wanted to challenge him, which I wouldn't, I'd ask for something ugly. I don't think he could do it. Even if he did, i bet it would still be cool.

I'm pretty good at squirrelling the money away. Now if I could just figure out how to get the packages without her knowing. That's the tricky part. At least all the postal workers are used to me popping out from behind the mailbox.

Honestly she's okay with anything hunting related. She likes a full freezer. She'd be more worried about me if I started buying art for the house or decorations. Probably beg me to just go back to the hunting stuff. Lol....the back up plan!

I have all my packages delivered to work.  I know that doesn't work for everyone.

I got one of his trumpets just last week. I agree that it is an easy playing trumpet that has top notch craftsmanship.
