Trumpet

[Iglow]

I've never used a trumpet call but, have made several wingbones and called in several birds with them. If I had a wood lathe, I would make one and try it.

I studied on it a min and got one of those mini lathes (12") off Amazon. I've got a drill press so I'm gonna turn a few. I made one back 30 years ago when I had a little lathe. I think I'll find a rot cleaned cedar with a buncha knots and try that, I'll post pics.

Spit into the mouth pcs then try.

old boy in NC was famous for his use of a trumpet call. someone asked him how he kept the mouthpiece wet, and he said "i've peed though it many a time..."

Yep, it's not easy to make one do right when you're sitting on the porch fooling with it, it's doubly hard to when you got a gobbler at 80 yds just hanging out. I was looking at the prices on some of the suggestions above ...wheww, I'll pass on that. I can make one do right yelping about 50% of the time and clucking about 20% of the time. I think some people have the natural born knack for it like some can just play a guitar with ease, I'm not one of them.

Big lips and big hands seem to make a difference from what I have seen. I have neither, only a big belly.
