Do you practice playing one handed with your trumpet? Lets say your calling a gobbler and you have your gun shoulder and partly resting on your knee and you need a few more soft yelps / clucks to close the deal for the shot .... So do you practice at being proficient with your trumpets using one handed call playing?
I play one-handed 95% of the time hunting.

Very interesting ....
I play one handed when working a bird in close to keep movements down. it's good for real quiet stuff.
I play one-handed when necessary. As gembellew said it keeps movement down. I don't find it difficult to play one-handed.
I will call one all the way to the gun with a trumpet. I have had them at 15 yards soft yelping or clicking to break strut.
When driving I do .

Yep, if you're hunting them you better be comfortable playing one handed.
That's why even though I'm right handed, I hold the call with my left hand. Right hand is holding my gun resting on my left knee.

I do the same EZ, left-handed when they get close.
I practice and hunt playing one handed a lot, driving around is some of the best practice time to practice 1 hand
left handed felt more natural and that is how I started, I hunt with either hand but left hand still feels more comfortable.
I think though if your right handed holding it in your right hand has an edge of less movement to get back on your gun, as how Mark Prudhomme shows on 1 of his videos
I practice some while driving.

When I first started practicing I did it driving
Kept getting pulled over.

I shoot right handed and also play one handed with my right hand. not a lot of movement to go from the trumpet barrel to the trigger
More so with my Chibouk than with an actual trumpet at this time, I still have a lot of learning to do with wind instruments.

I had a car full of young women laughing at me and giving me the thumbs up recently. They definitely thought I was vaping or smoking something.

I do this as well.
