Title: How do you carry your trumpet when hunting?
Post by: g8rvet on February 13, 2024, 08:17:11 PM
I have practiced since I got my moyehow trumpet and sound enough like a hen, I should be able to fool a stupid and partially deaf Tom (pretty much my target audience anyway).  ;)   How do y'all carry them to ensure it is not damaged?  Worries me around my neck while traipsing through the swamp.

Safest place is on a lanyard and around your neck, everywhere else something is more likely to happen.  Unless of course you hard case it

Keep on a lanyard an tuck inside your  shirt at least that's what I do.

I keep it packed away in a hard case until I get ready to call, then on a lanyard around my neck free hanging until I need to move then it goes tucked in my shirt/jacket.

I sewed two tubes into one of my upper interior vest pockets. Works perfectly for me

I use the double leather case made by Yoder. I also keep another in my vest in a tube protector.  Whichever I'm using at the moment is on my neck.

Zobo,

What kind of tubes? I think once I am using it, lanyard and inside shirt if moving, but on the way in I like the idea of some kind of case in vest.  Like capped PVC?

Not pvc, but it's probably not a bad idea. I use the clear ones like the one below, only skinnier. It's got enough stiffness to protect your good trumpets and gives a little and doesn't scratch them.

I don't have a trumpet. But I do have a wing bone and I wedge it in with my strikers. Definitely not a great idea. If I did have a trumpet I'd take a lot better care of it.

I think I found it on Amazon but it's been a while and I could be wrong.

Same, except I have a soft case.

Let me tell y'all what to buy for a hard case to carry several trumpets : Look at Academy Sports Website for the Plano Protector 4 Pistol Case Item No. 1404-02 It's a Hard plastic Case ... Now for carrying one or 2 trumpets in your vest / Satchel or around your Neck ...Look on Ebay at the Tactical Molle Pouch Military Knife Sheath  it's a pack Case. It's Ebay number : 403823185445  ... The Plano Case is just under 20.00 dollars and the Tactical Molle Pouch is around 9 dollars ... You can add a lanyard cord to the Tactical Molle Pouch and carry it around your neck with 2 trumpets in the pouch if you want, this is a padded case ...

When I leave the truck, it is around my neck, on a short lanyard. Mine is a tool, and gets hunted hard everyday I am in the turkey woods.

I wear it around my neck on a lanyard. If I'm wearing a button up , I slide the bell end into an opening between buttons and it stays put.

I carry mine on a double lanyard around my neck. If I got on a button up shirt I will Tuck it in. On the second loop I carry a SCPossum tube, desert Ironwood. Scratches are going to happen. Just a sign of use, no abuse.

Thanks for the tip - got a couple of them headed this way. They look well made and like a real steal for 10 bucks. I usually have my main trumpet for the day around my neck and stuffed into a front magnetic pocket for extra protection in case the lanyard failed or something. I will put my back up in one of these and keep in the satchel. But even more than that, these will be good to store some extra trumpets that I do not use so much in the off season where they can be put up out of sight and yet still safe. Thanks for sharing Greg.

I have a couple of GG's holsters that are pretty good (more so for storage in the vest or satchel), and I need to get one of Yoder's holsters as well before April just to see how I like it. He is obviously making a very good product like Mrs. Glenda.

I use one of these.

I was carrying a trumpet on a lanyard inside my shirt and the lipstop came off.   Luckily, I wear bibs and tuck them into my snake boots.  I found my lipstop down in the calf of my bibs.   :toothy9:

I snapped the mp off my Buckner Lignum once when it was around my neck.  It was a screw in so Bob sent me a new one which was very cool of him. I hunt in cold weather so I'm not wearing any button down shirt with pockets to tuck in a trumpet. I also don't like the feeling of something around my neck. So, I really prefer carrying my trumpets in tubes or cases like Yoders.
