First trumpet call - need some advice...

[DLPetrey]

Hi guys,

I've turkey hunted since I was a kid growing up in the 80s and early 90s. I've called in and killed turkeys on about every call out there except a trumpet. I've decided this season is the one for me to do just that!

So I need to start with a trumpet. Which one should I start with? Suggestions? I'm not too worried about budget.

I appreciate any and all suggestions!

Not worried about budget you say? https://thecallvintageturkeycalls.com/

I don't feel that I am the best to give advice. But my journey with the trumpet started with a wing bone. Once I could get a yelp I bought from a few different builders. I realized that I like flat mouth piece trumpets. Billy McAllister and Clay Townsend make my two favorite trumpets. But I've seen this advice on here before and it was to master one trumpet.

You're likely going to see lots of different call makers names come up in the answers to your question. Theyre almost certainly all great calls that will be great to learn on. I think theres a lot if nuance and personal preference in each persons answer. The only way to find out for yourself is to get them in your hands and play them! To make things more complicated, your preferences will probably change as you learn, get better and evolve as a player. My advice is to get one that you like the looks of and play the crap out of it.

That said, I'm still gonna shout of a few guys that have been good to me, and make awesome calls. Greg Gwaltney, Gene Shoemaker (DES), Brian Mero, Daryl Slaton.

Good luck, have fun!
