Trumpet Talk | How to use a TRUMPET caller | a CONVERSATION around the NEW INTEREST in an OLD TOOL

Join Kerry Terrell, Mark Prudhomme and I as we discuss TRUMPET turkey callers. I enlist the help of these gentlemen to help explain the "ins 'n' outs" of the callers as well as their experiences in using them for over 20 years. We examine everything from trumpet composition, basic sounds made possible with it and some of our "in the field" observations. #pinhotiproject #turkeyhunting #hunting

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

Mark is a phenomenal turkey caller in general but Mark on a trumpet is on another level!

[@Scott-Witter]

Spot on Shane!

[@pinhotiproject]

I just hope the acoustics in the shop and the the recorders I used did it justice.

[@boxbymartin]

@@pinhotiproject They did. Good setup AND editing.

[@Scott-Witter]

@@pinhotiproject I think it did Dave...maybe not perfect, but well done...more important that you embraced the trumpet and showcased 2 of the best who run them.

[@CCCRApiary]

@@Scott-Witter Fred Cox is a dream to hear on a Trumpet!

[@mackdarylt]

Thanks Dave, Kerry, & Mark for sharing. There may be something I forget when I leave the house to go chase turkeys....but I NEVER leave the house without my Trumpet, Jordan yelper, and wingbone around my neck. They are addicting,

[@tonyezolt4560]

Don't forget a good wingbone or "Jordan" cane yelper. There's no "magic" call out there, but sometimes these yelpers seem almost magic.

[@davidjoy1846]

Shhhhhh, Tony! If they all jumping on the trumpet train we can keep them Jordans and bones to ourselves.

[@Fernando_Woolybooger]

Don't worry, this trumpet fad will die down after a while. A lot of us have run trumpets, wingbones, and other 'yelpers' for years. Can't wait for the fair-weather trumpet guys to get frustrated and sell them. I predict there will be a plethora of used trumpets for sale in the next few years. Tony, you make a KILLER wingbone!

[@scottpunswick5051]

I really enjoyed this, anytime you can get wisdom from Mark and KT it's worth a listen! It's a true love affair with the trumpet..👍👍

[@tonyezolt4560]

Great interview Dave with two of the best. Thanks.

[@mitchbrunet9064]

This is great! There aren't too many resources for guys getting started with a trumpet and Mark is a trumpet calling machine!!

[@t.d.hughart5121]

Dang ! These guys put “turkey” into those trumpets! Great stuff! Thanks guys.

[@jamesfowler5514]

Nice video ! You don’t see these very often! Thank you sir !

[@dougmichaels1886]

I use a trumpet for 99 percent of my hunting, have for years. Discovered them a long time ago. Now I want a Prudomme. Good stuff Dave loved it.

[@rodneyharouff5739]

this has the same mystic to me as a tube call. talk about ticklin' the lips! hahaha. i love to listen to you'all call!! that smile ya talked about!

[@Osceolayelperman]

Great Video Fella's. Loved the softer stuff right in the beginning when Mark is in the road. When he cuts it down to contentment and starts to walk away, it is pure Turkey.

[@nathanwiles7141]

Really great discussion and informative on trumpets and how learn to play them.

[@wesadkins5070]

great video dave holy moly mark on that trumpet was just unbelievable

[@devinduncan2830]

You won’t catch in the woods with out a trumpet or Wingbone or both with me in the turkey woods. I’m not even that great on them but I have seen their power. My first eye opening experience was like they mentioned. It was the response I got back from a hen. I had ran a box and pot and mouth call and nothing responded. It hit the wingbone and she got fired up. If not I would have keep walking on. She ended up having a gobbler with her and I called them in and my father in law killed the gobbler. What made it hit me more that day was she would only respond to the wingbone. I tried to switch over to mouth call once I got them fired up and got them coming in but they would only respond to the trumpet. And I have seen the same thing happen since then every spring with hens and gobblers. From that day on I think 5 years ago now I haven’t went in the woods with out a suction call of some type. Some mornings I carry both a trumpet and a wingbone.

[@jimkeller8449]

Superior knowledge for free, fantastic !

[@bs431980]

Great video Dave!!

[@jamesgentry6864]

Thanks dave! Boy its hard to imagine the amount of turkey killing between you 3! Good luck everyone this spring!

[@mitchhallman6926]

Great video. 2 trumpet greats sharing a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for making this vid.

[@frogman7665]

Thanks for this Dave! I totally enjoy your hunting videos, and find myself checking youtube daily to see if you’ve dropped any new ones! I was more than excited when I saw this one, as I have been using trumpets, wingbones, and tubes for several years now! This will go down as one of my favorite videos of yours, yet!

[@scturkeytime55]

Best yet Dave!

[@gmass7238]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.. some fine trumpet builders and players..

Mark calling at the 35:50 mark was remarkable!!

[@ralphmueller9290]

Dave, can't tell you how many times I have watched this video. Thank you to Mark and Kerry for giving their advise. I had a Penn Woods Turpin call and a couple of wing bone calls I had made, This video convinced me to purchase two good trumpets for this years season. I was able to call in 7 different gobblers with these trumpets. Thanks again for the very informative video! Ralph

[@TRKYHTR1]

Enjoyed it.

[@josephcioni5293]

Just watched the video again. Dave, excellent choice on the topic. And two fine gentlemen to demonstrate the how to's! I remember sitting in on Rev Farmer seminars and thinking how realistic his sound was and how far from that sound I was making. I keep my trumpets close by and run them almost daily as advised along time ago by Larry Proffitt. Thanks again.

[@Corey_CB_Stanley]

Just getting into trumpets and liking it a lot. I didn't realize you had a video on it 😅 glad to have the info!

[@michaelcampbell2772]

Doing a great job Dave

[@josephcioni5293]

Great video, They are correct, there are a lot of good trumpet makers out there. I love my Ralph Permar's trumpets. Also, I have sat in on Rev Farmer's and Larry Proffitt's seminars at earlier NWTF conventions. Everybody that I have spoken with about trumpets have been so generous in helping guide me. Great stuff, Dave, thanks,

[@thelost1131]

Awesome instructional video. I don’t have one...YET.

[@gergggerrg9667]

Awesome video, Mark is outstanding on the trumpet, not easy to play like that. About all I ever hunt with is a trumpet, so good opportunity to learn something here.

[@jerrybob2041]

That’s a damn good video. I got my my 2 cane calls and wingbone in my building with me with no disruptions and learning from this video on a snowy and icy tonight in ky. I’ve learned. Thanks. But like ya said it’s not gonna work all time and everybody go out and get one. But hey it’s gonna werk. I gotcha. I’m a 25 year veteran in these Turks and I’m learning how to use these and I’m not but 39. I like ya vids Dave.

[@donbeasley6539]

This was a very informative video.

[@leeplatt2253]

My favorite call. I’ve been on marks list awhile maybe one day I will get my hands on one of his calls

[@Clifwalker]

I gave up, been his "list" for about 4 years lol. *edit jus looked it'll be 5 years n 2 months.

[@reedmitchell6716]

Got to love old school calls.

[@boxbymartin]

Dave. I really enjoyed the history, instructionals, camaraderie of the group, etc. Thanks for making it happen.

[@troydecilles9247]

I was on the fence about getting one but now I am sold!!

[@stevenlcotney5577]

Outstanding video Dave. Kerry and Mark sound great. Since Turpin was mentioned, you ought to reach out to Steve for an interview.

[@larryroberts808]

Thanks men for this vidio,l just got my trumpet last week Ihave got where I can play it ok.but now I have confidance to keep working on it. Once again thanks ! L Rob.

[@galinswigart]

The trumpet and box calls are two calls that don't sound quite as impressive indoors, but echoing through the woods at a distance they are two of the most realistic calls available. Incredible!

[@rodneyharouff5739]

excellent show! wingbones fit here too i'd say, but still a different critter.

[@aplamantia]

Great stuff! Lot of wisdom in that room. Thanks for sharing, Dave👏

i found some in midwest turkey call supply catalog.

Loved it! All great info and with the best in the trumpet game! Good stuff again buddy

[@b-red881]

Wingbonein it this year for sure

[@CCCRApiary]

Magic words........If a man can't play his own trumpets, keep on walking! I'm decent on a trumpet and usually kill a bird or two every year with one. Very few put turkey in their Trumpets. Pick wisely and pay the Money it takes to get Quality!

[@bharwell7774]

Walter Reese, could not agree more. Jeffrey Erb and Billy Buice are the Two that come to mind, I have never heard anyone on a Trumpet like Jeff Erb from Florida. He is the Only one I have ever seen shut the room down in Unicoi as he Play's.

[@CCCRApiary]

@@bharwell7774 Bout all I run are Erb's calls! Love hearing him play.

You need to do the same type video for those pinhoti mouth calls I’ve been buying. For some reason, the ones i bought don’t sound like exactly like the ones you use. Seriously, that would be a very appreciated video.

Btw. When your finished using a call for the day, what do you do to the reeds to keep them from sticking together?

[@jamesgentry6864]

Alot of guys use a toothpick and stick under that first reed then stick it in the fridge

I don't do anything but spit mine in my call wallet. I have to blow the reeds open every day though if its dried. Mine seldom have enough time to dry during the season though. LoL
