Sitting at home sick and bored. Just curious to see some of the favorite horns you guys own. Post a picture and who made it etc.
My favorite was made by my good buddy Seth Hamon. It's a mud cured Osage with mammoth mouth piece and accents.
Here's a picture. Let's see yalls. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240124/0daeeed8246890c03a6712fc4bc76519.jpg)

Hard to beat either one of those calls, Terry!
Great thread. :popcorn:
This one is special for many reasons, craftsmanship, ease of use, and especially where the blank came from...Bott adjustable.

Although I think I have some very good yelpers made by some of the finest call makers, I am very fond of the Marlin Watkins yelper with hen bone mouthpiece. I have some new one I bought here recently that just might beat this one out. I've called a few birds in with this caller for sure.

No offense to anyone else as all these calls look awesome, but I personally think you get the vote for the best looking call in this thread. That is an amazing piece of wood. If I was a turkey, and I had to lose my life to a hunter, I would just hope he was calling me in with something that nice!

Started out with, and have been hunting a wingbone since I was a kid. Was fortunate to meet two of the best players to ever play, in the woods around 7 years ago while hunting. They turned me on to a 6.5 Osage from one of the ol boys father. That Buice is all I have ever needed since.
I think I know who you met, and yes, they are a turkey killing duo, and one of them is the best on a trumpet, that I've ever met. and glad to call both friends.
I purchased a Mun Ebony trumpet last year from Jeremy Simpson. I'm still, and will always be a novice caller, but that trumpet makes even me sound good. Truly one-of-a-kind.

Osage/Buffalo horn has more responses than my other trumpets combined. It was so green when I got it I thought it resembled a sprite can! It has aged very well. My first one that Greg Gwaltney got me is as beautiful as they come, and that's the one that got me hooked. I have acquired different calls since these but until they sit on a turkeys back like this one, I can't call them favorites.

Beautiful call! He had one just like it at Unicoi but he was only allowing one call per person, which was fair, and I went with a Royal Ebony instead. The one that got away.
I've got it narrowed down to three.
Nice trio..
Three very nice yelpers indeed.

The yelpers that get hunted and bloodied most often are a delrin classic from Ralph and an osage XT from Anthony. But favorites from a collection standpoint get more tricky. Got a lot of odd ball stuff you just don't see. I like the one offs. If I had to pick just one, maybe this one. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240603/8418585ae9be72da0e96ae72db46cb75.jpg)
