First bird of the year

[merocustomcalls]

Here's my bird from Thursday.  Had to pull off a sniper low crawl through some extremely thick brush to get to this bird.

Congrats on a great bird, he has a nice thick beard. Who makes that trumpet?

[merocustomcalls]

That's one of mine.  I made this as a personal hunting trumpet.  I call it the "slim jim"  It's Mopani and Delrin.  I've hunted with it for the past four years and taken many gobblers with it.
