Deadliest calls on smart birds

[Brad]

I like calling turkeys,that's why I hunt them. I also like learning new calls. I don't think there's any magic call but I do feel like when you take so much time learning to run one you can't help but put mote feeling into it when your hunting. I will say the trumpet in the woods just has a distinct sound unlike any other. I will kill one using it this year. Could I kill the same bird with another call? Sure,but its something new and its addictive learning it.

Could you kill the same bird with a different call?? You never know, I've had turkeys that wouldn't come to anything but a certain call before.

But yes, learning the trumpet has been very entertaining!

I use a couple of wing bones that have saved the day a couple of times. What kind of trumpet? Who made it that is?

 

[Brad]

Mine was made by MKW.

 

[RUNnGUN]

My dad and I make trumpet, pot, and tube calls

 

[JimLandt]

[RUNnGUN]

Gobbler's ghost custom calls, no website or anything. Been making for about 6 years but just started trumpet this year because I love them so much. My dad can't call on one to save his life!

 

[MKW]

Can you post a picture of one of the trumpets??

Mike

 

[RUNnGUN]

haha I knew that was coming, yeah I can but I honestly have no clue on how to do it..

 

[MKW]

If you have one on your computer, you can just use the "manage attachments" button under the reply window.

[RUNnGUN]

I would have to say that 99% of the time if a bird won't gobble to a pot, box, mouth etc.. He will gobble to a wingbone or trumpet.. What do ya'll think?

This is good to know. I'll have to leave my homemade wingbone and MKW trumpet at home most of the time. I don't want to limit out this early in the season.

There are days birds won't gobble even if you have a live hen in your vest!!

 

[RUNnGUN]

Those look pretty good.

Thanks, It's definitely a work in progress. These were the 1st 2 we made. I've got a few things I want to try and some different wood as well.
