Title: Where to Put Your Trumpets
Post by: SCGobbler on May 29, 2013, 09:42:28 AM
I think part of the reason I like turkey hunting is all the stuff you get to acquire.  I am a gadget junkie so turkey hunting and I are a perfect fit.

I am a trumpet hunter so I have a question for the other hunters.  Where do you keep your trumpets?

Surely you don't keep them all around your neck because I usually have 2-3 trumpets, 2 tube calls, and my diaphragms around my neck at all times.

I have seen trumpet cases, but where do most keep them while hunting?  Around your neck?

I keep the spare ones that I'm not using in one of my striker cases, you can keep 4/6 trumpets in them and keep them protected while not in use. The same with my tubes, I keep them in a pot call bag.

I keep one on a lanyard around my neck and the trumpet stuffed in my shirt pocket.  If I carry more than one, the others go in a long horizontal pocket on my vest.

I carry it the same as my strikers with the lanyard tied in with a lark's head. If I am using it I will put the lanyard around my neck with the call tucked into my shirt. See one toward the top in this pic:

I tie the lanyard on my vest and keep the trumpet in one of the pockets that zip up. I tie it to the vest because in the heat of the moment I don't want to drop it and loose it. So if it's tied on that solves that problem. I put it in the zipped pocket to get it out of the way when I am walking or when you sit down in a hurry.

That's right where mine are at too. I carry at least one trumpet and a couple wingbones at the same time....tucked into my shirt between the buttons.

Carry one with a wingbone mouthpiece and a regular mouthpiece. I try to buy the shirt with the hidaway pockets an keep one in that pocket the other in between the top two buttons.

Mine is around my neck, and if wearing a button down either in the front pocket or tucked in between buttons.
