#1 hunting trumpet

Meleagris gallopavo

I have some I like a lot and some I may never grab.  The list of trumpet makers for the ones I like are the usual suspects.  One newer maker, Jeremy Simpson, has 2 in my collection that are right in there with the better known makers.

To be honest , I have a whole lot of trumpets and it really doesn't matter which one I pull out. They are all good and unlike other turkey calls , a trumpet is unique in the sense that if you draw on them with your style of play then most work about the same. I can run a Prudhomme , a Kp , a Lapp , a permar and any other that I have in my collection and kill birds. To my ear and the way I play , they all sound pretty close the same. Just my opinion.
I also think they all sound similar to my ear, but I seem to have more action with certain calls. Maybe coincidence, maybe not..

My go to is a Buice but there are a few and I swap up mouthpieces

I'm now also absolutely loving a beautiful Kenneth Mullins in buckeye burl that I bought from the OG classifieds. Really awesome, sweet running little trumpet.

I agree with this. I traded a call for a battey trumpet (200+$) and then decided to try the Mosses Creek WingWood (25$ shipped) and when it came in and i ran the wingwood, I was blown away with how similar they sounded to my ear. So I took them outside and done a video sound file with each in the same video and if it wasn't for me physically showing each one before I played them, you'd swear I never changed calls.

Buice. Hands down.

I own many, many other trumpets from some great call makers, but I hunt with one of Mr.Billy's trumpets.  :OGturkeyhead:

I've owned and traded / sold many turned trumpets over the years, Watkins, Buice, Hegler, Permar, etc.

After all that I'm down to what works for me and I gravitate to the Bott adjustable.

That's awesome, I too am a strong believer in Mr. Austin Bott. One of the nicest human beings too!

I have several but my go to is an Anthony Ellis (AGE) blackwood with buffalo horn mouthpiece. It accounted for another gobbler this morning. He makes a great call.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
