Trumpets???

[zelmo1]

The trumpet can be played very softly, which is not my thing, and gives a different tone to anything I use. I am the absolute worst trumpeter here, but I will continue to work at it and use it in the field till I never get a response. I am a get one and learn to play it guy. Enjoy your journey. Z

Sounds as if many of us have taken on a PROJECT!  I personally enjoy learning new things.  I have only been at this sport about 15 years, and with the help I've received from each of you, I have learned woodsmanship, box, pot and mouth calls and have gotten into trumpets.  I must say, there is a WEALTH of Knowledge here.  By keeping an open mind and applying the knowledge that many of you have shared, I have come a long way in this sport.  Thanks to ALL of you!

Since I have only had a trumpet for a couple of months, I consider myself a novice.  I do have the basics down and have been watching videos from some of the GREATS (Zach Farmer, Mark Prudhomme, Del Crow, Marlin Watkins and Ted Pete Peters to name a few.)  I am still experimenting with many different techniques but feel very comfortable with the trumpet.  I'm really looking forward to this season, to try the trumpet on live birds.  They will give me the feedback I'm looking for.  As with all my calls, I only want to be able to call in a bird to the end of the gun barrel not win contests.  This site and you guys make this sport, SO ENJOYABLE!  Thanks Shannon and ALL of you that SHARE so much!

I mostly have wing bones I make myself and one I call a bone and brass hybrid, they just have a different tone than any other call and just flat sound like turkeys!

First guy I ever used one I called in a nice late season tom, talk about a confidence booster!

I quit worrying about "why" yelpers (Wingbones, Jordans, Trumpets) work so well in the turkey woods and am just satisfied knowing they are killer calls. Turkeys just like them. Anyone that puts an honest effort into learning and using these instruments will absolutely come to that conclusion.

I'm a turkey hunter first and foremost and use a variety of really good calls and all of them work great, but over the years, the yelpers have risen to the top as my "always go to" calls. That wasn't always the case, even when I first started making wingbones, it was a novelty to me (wish I could say different, lol). I was intrigued by the history and the coolness factor, but had no idea what killer calls these yelpers were. It was a slow process to learn and discover how much I didn't know back in the days of no internet and really very little info on much of anything, let alone the yelpers.

Fast forward to today and I will still tell anyone that there is no "magic wand" turkey call, but, a good yelper is the closest thing I've found. My first trip to Unicoi there was a "Round Table" of Trumpet and Yelper men. Someone in the crowd asked that very question as to "why" these yelpers were so effective. One of the men responded with the very popular answer that it was because so few folks use them and it's something different to the turkeys. Mr. Billy Buice interrupted..."That's wrong.....it's not that they don't hear that sound....it's the sound that they hear everyday!!!"

I believe that is 100% true.
