What do you all recommend for a turkey trumpet call that I can buy online?
Thanks,

Are you on Facebook ? I have a friend of mine that makes and sells them.

I’m not on Facebook, but the wife is. Can you give me a link to the Facebook account, or PM it to me?

Check out AGE calls

Unfortunately the man that makes the best trumpet calls around passed away last year. I'm sure there are others out there, but I've never seen or heard one that compared to his. Beware of commercially made calls

Who was the fellow?

Yes ? What's his name?

Daryl Gosey in NC makes a nice and affordable trumpet. Midwest turkey call had them but I havent looked recently.

I have his osage/bocote but prefer a wing bone and cane yelper over the trumpet.

WHAT is a turkey trumpet call ?

Not familiar with such a thing.

Glad you asked walleyed. I have turkey hunted for years and have never heard of one. Eric

Notice the wooden thing on the sleeping turkey…that’s a Trumpet call. That particular one is made by Lee Chadwick of Misfire Game Calls. That particular call accounted for 3 Eastern’s and 2 Merriam’s all worked and killed by my son.

I wasn’t aware Rev Farmer had died.

How does a trumpet call work and what does it sound like ?
I've turkey hunted since 1977 and I have never heard of a trumpet call.

You suck on them like kiss kiss, they are the ultimate Fall turkey caller. Here's two the left is a Charles Hudson the right is Zach Farmer

Here's a similar call a yelper it's elderberry bush with a hen wingbone for the mouth piece.

I’d protect that Farmer call at all cost. I’d rather lose my gun than a trumpet made by him.

So they are similiar to a wingbone call for calling in fall juvenile poults ?

As far as sound, it’s nothing like a pot, box, or diaphragm. In all honesty it doesn’t sound very turkey like you might be used to, BUT it will kill turkeys when nothing else will. That sound may be why it works so well, I guess you could say it’s “pure” turkey.

Yes they operate like a wing bone. They work great in the spring also.

I agree. They sound more like a turkey at a distance but not so much up close.

If you're good at running them they sound great, but for me they shine in the fall I've used slate and diiafram calls with no response and then my wingbone or trumpet and had them respond right back.

So what you guys are calling a trumpet call is basically a wing bone call made of something other than wing bones?

I've been making my own wing bone calls for years from the wild turkeys I kill.

Dadblastit now I have get one or 3 maybe 5 oh well.

Nope, not Farmer. Lewis Stowe
