Billy McCallister from Georgia makes a mighty fine trumpet too

 Would definitely recommend a Permar classic over a model 45. Find it tough to KeeKee
properly with the 45 and here in Ontario those Kee Kees are magic.
Have never encountered another hunter here using a trumpet.
The  Classic is perfect for that and also can be fairly raspy for
a higher pitched call.

Buice or Permar is a good choice.  I would double check with Mr. Billy about Osage.  Go with a number 4 if you go with Buice and get one mouthpiece.  Good luck.

I understand what you mean by number 4, but when you say
"get one mouthpiece", does that mean it's a mouthpiece that can't be interchanged?

I do not always word well, if you decide to only get one mouthpiece and not multiple to interchange go with the #4 if you are pretty novice with a trumpet.  Mr. Billy's trumpets do offer interchangeable mouthpieces with a screw in or push in design.  You have the option to get multiple interchangeable mouthpieces and can get the varying numbers, the same numbered mouthpiece in different materials, delrin, micarta, corian, etc, or mix and match.  You can have multiple options with mouthpieces with one trumpet barrel.  Hope that is a bit more clear.

That makes perfect sense. I really appreciate all your guys
suggestions. I'm gonna call Mr. Billy tomorrow.
                                  Thanks again,

I have both and would definitely recommend the Buice.  Tje Permar 45 is a great call but more medium pitched.  Billy's are more versatile.  Get the screw in though.

Is there any difference other than obvious between the screw in and push in?

I don't have push in mouth pieces but the guys that do usually have them tied off on a separate lanyard so they don't fall out and lose them. I don't do that with stew in. I am not sure if there is any other difference between the two. I would think sound would be the same but Mr. Billy uses the push in mostly from what I have gathered from him.

I also have a 45 from Ralph that is a awesome call and glad I have it!  Ernie Fetters of Shade Mountain also makes great trumpets and yelpers.

There is no major difference.  I have both push in and screw in.  I have never lost a mouthpiece with either but did drop a push in one time and back tracked for it.  I have learned that if you push it in and give a little turn it locks in a bit better.  As Chris stated, I do have a drop on my lanyard to hold the mouthpiece and when I get Del to make me on for that trumpet I will add a couple drops so I can just keep the mouthpieces hanging ready for that trumpet.

There is no difference in sound between push in and screw in Billy likes the push because you can change them faster. You should never lose one if you push in and twist as stated.

Seeing as how you're starting out you won't know the difference. Buy what suits your fancy and enjoy the journey.

Both are solid and draw easy. Im liking my permar all delrin right now. It will be around my neck come spring. I have 4 Buice trumpets and absolutely love them also.

I've owned both Buice and Permar trumpets, and both are top quality. Buice for interchangeable mouthpieces is the only plus.

But to throw a curve ball for additional consideration...for a straight up "field grade" hunting yelper its hard to beat either Mark Sharpe, or Tony Ezolt, river cane or wing bone. Over the years, my EZ wing bone and my Sharpe river cane have seen more woods time than all the big name trumpet makers I've owned, Hegler included, combined.

Both are easy to run, killer calls, and precisely tuned.

I don't have any of Ralph's calls but I do have 4 buice's that I love,I have a pink ivory one that just has something special about it even compared to my other buice calls and other buice calls I have played around with....as of lately I have really fell in love with playing wingbones and am on tony and marks list for a couple of theirs,I can't wait to get those,I would say to pick one and practice all you can until you get good with one call,once that happens you should be able to play any of them,but there will def be ones that you like best and always seem to grab for first..
