I received my call from Brian Mero this morning in the mail, I have been fairly busy the last few weeks with life and I have not spent a lot of time trying to "master" the calls as I was awaiting this one to get here. I want to say Thank you to the guys who messaged me, and sent me helpful videos and calls via text, I do appreciate everything and I hope to be able to spend some time the next few weeks working on learning the cane yelper and the mero call, I have been looking for some sort of case to carry it in in my vest/bag up here , or on amazon but I have not stumbled across anything yet, the closest thing I seen was a cigar case on amazon but they were not a good fit.

A young man on Facebook makes a very nice case. Do not know if the young man is on here but his dad is, Possum Fork.

I spent some time on the call and I am extremely happy with it, and all of them, so far. I did some looking and research and I ended up speaking with Glenda and I am going to go with one of her trumpet cases, I just want something to use when I am not in the woods and I can slip call in my vest, or murse. I may have to break down and try one of her satchels this year. As I get older, I have really started to enjoy carrying a turkey chair, and I have used a sling pack/satchel off and on the last few years but they were just a little small. The standard will definitly hold my coffee thermos and a few waters.

I am going to look into some custom locator calls now, I have been using store bought owl and crow calls but I figure I may as well get custom ones.

I have had my cane yelper and mero for a few weeks now, Thanks again "Guesswho"!! you are awesome! and my mero trumpet, Thanks again Brian, awesome guy to deal with and a great call. I received my Glenda Green satchel(murse) last week and also my trumpet case, the trumpet case is perfect for what I wanted in a case. She was also amazing to deal with and I will be ordering more from her soon.Thanks Glenda!

Very sharp looking cane yelper,
you should have a good range of different tones with it and your trumpets

I called in my first longbeard with a trumpet this morning, I actually had good luck with using it as I have called in a bunch of jakes opening morning and hens but had some longbeards hang up, this morning was a different story, the mero was too much for the handful of longbeards and some hens. I may not be great with it yet, but I can use it and I think I am actually pretty decent, and just learning with it. Thanks again to everyone with the suggestions a few months back. No more carrying around pot and box calls, mouth calls and trumpets only.

How would I know which calls, are easier to learn on? or is that on an individual  person to decide and figure out for themselves? I assume It comes down to the person. I'd like at least two to start with but don't want to make the learning curve more difficult than I have too.



If you go back several pages in the trumpet section and look for threads like yours you will see a pattern of whats been recommended for starting out, they are whats worked for the majority of people.
You wouldn't go wrong with a trumpet from any of them. Some of them would have a long wait period.

The Buice trumpets have interchangeable mouthpieces that have different diameter holes thru them, which changes the pitch of the call and how it draws air, the 2 most popular are the #3 and #4 as Davis mentioned

Any trumpet from Ralph Permar would be a god choice, his entry level Jordan call will do any thing you will need to do in the turkey woods

I assume you are talking about his smaller improved jordan yelper?
