Late start to this as many guys are winding down, but many are just getting started. Let's see some of those 2025 trumpet kills! Got one hunt left so maybe this can help the withdrawals.
Started him at a distance with the box and Twisted Sister, finished him with the Inzer osage trumpet. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250502/d2b0d327de6f2408db9123a3e68a6fcd.jpg)

Called one for myself, and one for the wife. Still have a little more hunting to do.

Been a tough season, but blessed with this one. My youngest son's first hunt came with me and it was his first time ever going with me so it was a special time.

Super windy day, calling sporadically with the trumpet, heard one single, full gobble close. Less than a minute later bright red head pops over the ridge, nail him. Run up and grab the legs and he starts twisting, felt the button spurs rub my hand. Turkey one for me of the season

Honorary trumpet birds, 8 hens called in plus one Jake that my son missed. The next day 5 gobblers that came in 5 minutes after my son wanted to get out of his blind during youth season. Another trumpet bird start to almost finish for a friend I'm mentoring at work. Due to time restrictions we left him gobbling just out of range.

Not a trumpet but my EZ wingbone.

Of the four birds I got this spring two were with my wingbone, two with my WF Heglar trumpet.
This Mero jordan yelper has become a permanent stay in my vest this spring. Runs really nice, and I love how compact it is.

Tony Ezolt Jordan style cane yelper.
First bird with an air drawn call. I really enjoy using them and hunting with them and the turkey sounds are something else. Just need to keep practicing and work on my consistency.

Thanks for sharing everyone! Keep them coming.
I've tried to upload my picture but can't get it. I'll try later but I called in and killed my first ever gobbler using a trumpet this year. It was a Clay Townsend Osage trumpet.

Classic pic right there. What I envision when I think of true ol timey turkey hunting. I've been a wingbone man a long time and appreciate a good "yelper" pic. The old side by side sets it apart from all others. I am lucky enough to have a friend, who some say, is the best there is when it comes to running "turned" yelpers. The realisn he gets out of his trumpet is mine blowing.
Start to finish first one ever finally...I know not a trumpet but close enough
