I agree, I've got more trumpets than my wife has SHOES ... just saying ...

I've only had one and it has been a Billy McCallister. It's a blast to practice on. I began to really like it before last season and harvested a couple birds with it. If you come across one for a good deal I'd definitely grab it.

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

Anthony Ellis——AGE trumpets. Anthony makes a very good trumpet and might have a few ready to sell.

I bought two trumpets last year shortly after season end and I still suck at playing them. I'll likely stick to my trusty pot calls.

There are a lot of good trumpet makers out there.

I've got some ready to go for $150 to your door. I don't know how to post sound file on here, but feel free to pm me your number and I will send some via text.

Get a shorty from Sam Dupree, you won't be disappointed at all! Great calls!

That is where most people mess up though. The "I am not any good" mindset really messes them up. Think of it this way, how many times have you sat on a tree and hear the most awful racket coming down the lane, thinking it is some guy on a Walmart box call, only to see a real hen walking up? If you took a real hen and put her on a competition stage, she would finish dead last EVERY time. If you can make a noise on a air operated call, carry it and try it out, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks guys. I'm still trying to practice. Occasionally I sound ok but very inconsistent
