Title: Practicing your calling?
Post by: Tail Feathers on December 30, 2025, 10:50:16 PM
I play with pot calls now and then throughout the year.  I sometimes play with trumpets (have not yet reached competence) but I don't practice mouth calling much till January.
I've ordered a few mouth calls for spring 2026 and will begin practicing with them and the other types of calls very soon.  Last year, I went back to basics and worked on it a lot and really improved my game. 
Deer season is still open but real slow here, and my mind turns to turkey.
Who else will up their calling practice soon?
And I really need to get back to walking, gotta get ready for those long morning hikes.

Guess I'm a bit obsessive...I keep a trumpet and Jordan on hand year round when I'm on the road. Listen to real hens calling over the stereo system, and run the yelpers.

I dont think a day goes by all year that I dont run a trumpet or mouth call atleast a little bit.

Never stop running calls all year long ... I always have calls right next to my chair ... LOL. I don't think about playing them, I play them.. I really enjoy my calls and the different turkey sounds tones they all bring with hen. Jake and gobbler sounds.

The call I run the least is mouth call's. I always carry a couple but seldom ever use them. The 2 I carry are the old Quaker Boy double and old boss hen.
