Hey Yoder: Austin Bott's adjustable.

When fully compressed its about 6.25" long, when opened to the 6 ring its about 10.5" long. It will extend longer than that, but seems to me guys I know who hunt these run them from the 4 to the 5.5 ring.

At the 5 ring its about 10.25" long. They are easy to adjust, just give it a twist and push or pull, so Bott's adjustable should fit in the standard trumpet dimensions you have been given by others already.

The trumpet at its widest is about 1.2". Don't have a caliper, so I eyed it up with a 6" scale.

A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

Fortunately someone has really good taste, and picked a few choice wood blanks Z! The Ezolt lanyard is total quality too.

Love that pic from the fall woods. That Bott calls kee-kees super easy. Being adjustable, perfect fall trumpet.

I found this on ebay, I like that it has the plastic cylinder for more protection. I put my trumpet/yelper in it and then put them all inside one of Glenda's trumpet pouches. https://www.ebay.com/itm/264844706981
