Awesome video! He sounds like no other on that call. Thanks for sharing Allen!
Thanks for the post!
This one is great too. A post hunt interview down at Bill Jone's place in Sea Island, GA..
Zach is another one of the old school legends that doesn't get the acclaim he deserves.. The new crop of Turkey hunting celebrities can't hold a candle to these men.

The way he tells stories reminds me of my grandad. Has to act them out to. A good glass of sweet tea and I would be happy for hours.

According to Mr. Battey, sometime in the early 2000s. He wasn't quite sure without looking it up.

I HAVE TO APPRECIATE THE POST , I WATCHED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND LEARNED A COUPLE
THINGS ON HOW To BETTER MYSELF ON THE TRUMPET ....... THANKS
Rest assured, the Rev Zach Farmer has killed quite a large number of Gobblers.
The old time hunters are impressive in their calling and hunting skills, but what is even more impressive is their genuinely humble personalities. No big ego for the camera, just sincere respect for the animal and the methods used to kill them.

You won't see Zach reaping , fanning , or belly crawling to kill a turkey. Or using one of those ridiculous strutter decoys..
But those notches!!!! I'm still amazed. I counted over 100 and my eyes were crossed. This is both sides. I tried to pause and screenshot each side.
This man is a turkey man. When men were men that is.

he doesn't use his own trumpets?

He mostly uses his trumpet I think. That's what's so incredible about that box. Look at the year it was made in the pic. His personal trumpet is dubbed "little windy" and if it had notches it would probably look like pencil shavings by now. ;D
Of course he does.
Doesn't mean he can't successfully run other types of calls in the woods. Zach didn't build his first trumpet until years after he purchased that Lynch in 1962. IIRC , Zach made his first trumpet sometime around 1980..He still hunts with it to this day.

He does, that old Lynch he has had forever though, among trumpets he has also made box calls and scratch boxes......he is proficient with all callers. He has an old scratch box he made years ago, I was over at his house one night and he pulled it out and was playing it,the most impressive sounding scratch box I've ever heard.
Awesome video's. I would have loved to been at that table listening to his stories. What a great story teller and humble ole turkey hunter.
There were several things in the two videos that really stood out for me. The first one starting at 1: 30 in the second video posted about wood types and sound. I've preached the same thing for many years but when I do it usually starts an argument... ;D
The second thing that really stood out was the fact that he played the ole Turpin and the call that Neil made just like he played his own....Hmmm....so, I've spent a lot of time the last couple of days with a trumpet attached to my lips searching for that yelp.

I noticed the same thing Kenny, I had heard that it might be his mouthpiece, but apparently not. I too have been messing with my KP trumpet trying to get that raspy yelp, I have found enough to make me happy for the time being. For me it is hand placement/shape over the barrel and lip/mouth/air tension if that makes sense. Anyway, fun to mess around with different ways to play these things.
I have found that my lip tension makes a big difference. The looser the lips, the raspier the yelp.

A while back, there was a thread with a sound clip from Mr. Farmer on a trumpet. Title was something to the affect of "Guess who was playing this trumpet" Had him running a real raspy trumpet. Mouth call rasp. Anyone have a link to it.
Here you go...

I spent about an hour on the phone with Mr. Zack Friday night. We had an enjoyable conversation!! He's one of the old time masters!
Never saw the need in it myself.
