Picked up a Prudhomme Desert Ironwood up at Unicoi this January. He allowed me to take several outside to play and this Desert Ironwood with Medical resin mouthpiece stood out to me. I have changed the sound of my calling on a trumpet and a Prudhomme seems to run easy in this style. I have hunted with it, KP Cocussood, and Buice Lignum 5-1/2" with a good bit of success. Wednesday, April 8th I was able to bloody the Prudhomme for the first time. I struck the bird and finished him with the Prudhomme. I did use the Buice to sound like another hen as well. Called in 4 toms and 2 hens. Just something special and satisfying about killing a bird with trumpet, does not matter how many you have killed with a trumpet you always feel accomplished.

Guess I clicked the wrong place and put this in the tube call section. Thanks for the kind words

Thanks! Wish I could find some more. Breaks my heart to think of them just sitting on a shelf but I got a couple other trumpets that do the same unfortunately.
Thanks Shannon for moving this to the right spot for me!

Every morning before my hunt I select a trumpet and a Wingbone. Then I pick a box call, pot call, and scratch box to take. I always have a couple mouth calls to but I haven't used them much the last 2 years.
