Turkey hunting forum for turkey hunting tips

  Ive been working on my trumpet calling for a couple of weeks .. I feel like I've reached a place of achievement. How do I know?
   My wife said it sounds so real it makes her want to get out the gun and shoot it.  Trying to decide now if her and I are on the same page :funnyturkey:

I would hide the guns......lol :fud:

 I would get rid of the wife and keep my guns and calls ...  :fud: :TooFunny:

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha......this is going to be a good thread!!! ;D

 Tread on her back and see what happens

I say that is a high compliment without a hint of sarcasm...you keep on rolling with your practice regimen,, she fully supports your efforts.

Words to live by.

LITERALLY !!!!

Well if you come home one day from work and she has been practicing on it and she sounds better than on it than you I guess you still win,let her do the calling and you do the shooting! :z-winnersmiley:

My wife hates the fact that she can tell when a my calling sounds "good".  Too many calls to audition and too little vest space.

 Out of al the calls i have had a used over the years this trumpet is the first that she said sound real. But She had an evil eye when she said she wanted to shoot it..  I got very nervous.    :OGani:

That must be pretty good. All my wife says when I get out the trumpet around her is "please don't do that when I'm home" I don't think that has anything to do with sound quality though I'm hoping to wear her down a little at a time!

My wife leaves the room when I use the " scratchy stick thing"   Claims I am getting better but she is in the next room and the door is shut. 

I gave a trumpet to my 3 kids to practice on around the house. My wife hates me

You're a lucky man. I worry for the safety of my calls when my wife is alone.

My wife kept pounding on the floor and yelling down the steps for me to stop the noise when I first started call making.

Fast forward a few months when I returned from a show and handed her a pile of cash. She asked, "what's this for" I said, " you mean what is that from". " All the noise you complained about". Never heard another word of it. She now has her own 8 call case and can tell me which one I am playing by sound. No kidd. I have caught her playing them when she didn't know I was home.

Buy them all crow calls for Christmas....she'll be more than happy to hear those turkey calls again. Everything is relevant.

My wife has a uncanny nack of totally blocking my calling out. We can be in the same room and she never says a word. Then again , she claims that I only hear what I want to hear when she is talking to me.

Being a call maker, my wife puts up with a lot. I'm always running calls of all types. I know when she's had enough because she will start threatening to snap lids, strikers and trumpets. I hide them away for a bit then start in again and have never had a call broken. LOL

It gives her an excuse to go shopping. She's usually had enough when I'm calling and the Beagle starts howling along with me. I get BOOTED outside when she deems the weather nice enough and believe me the weather is marginal at best.

Yea mine tells me to go out in the garage. To damn cold for that now. So, practice is inside.

I knew there was a reason I never got married!

I just go to the garage to start with.  My Mrs. doesn't gripe about calls being run in the house.  But the garage is where all my calls are anyways and it's pretty comfy there, so............ 

I just got another trumpet last week my wife said it would have to be surgically removed if she heard one more yelp. I'll have to move to my truck the garage is awful cold.

I just put a wood stove in my shop to try to save my wife's sanity. Between the wingbone I'm trying to master and me dipping my toes into box call making, she has put up with a lot this winter. My operation will me moving out of the basement to a more secluded location.

Try practicing at 3:00 am and see how much she appreciates it.

When my wife has heard enough Turkey calls. She will said something like I thought you said you needed to go to the hardware store. Another favorite  is sending me outside to take the dog for a walk.

I look at it as a bonus. They get away from you as soon as you pull calls out ! Aaah peace!!!

It reminds me of this chick I dated one time. God bless her she's passed now but she had these parrots. They made all kind of sounds. Even cried like her daughters baby. For the life of me I tried teaching them Turkey sounds. Woulda been awesome to walk in and hear a parrot yelping. Woulda drove her nuts even when I wasn't there. Never did accomplish it and they never would even try. I should tried them, as cutlets.

My wife thinks my calls are beautiful and bought a curio cabinet to put them in for display so everyone who visits can see them. She also believes that calls should be seen, not heard! When a turkey,duck, or goose call comes out of the cabinet it's  Banishment to the garage or outside! I comply. "Happy wife, happy life"

That reminds me of a friend that got mad at me for trying to teach his parrot to say "I taste good Shake and Baked. Only thing I got out of it is "Good Shake and Bake"

I practice all year with my mouth, slate and box calls. It's quality time!
It's also my alone time because as soon as i get them out the wife leaves to go shopping etc. If I would take a walk in the woods or practice someplace else i wonder just how much money i could have saved!
