How to operate the turkey trumpet?
First, you can’t blow the trumpet like the trumpet musical instrument. This art takes practice and the following steps. First step, find your favorite place to put your lips on the tube since each hunter has their own preference. Since you can’t blow the trumpet it’s a good idea to practice making a kissing sound with your lips puckered. Secondly, hunters place their lips on the tube sucking in air as the trumpet makes the hen sound. Next practice this technique using your hands at the bell end of the trumpet. This gives an echo to the hen sound. Once this is done, you can hear the hen singing with practice. Above all, it takes time to master the turkey trumpet. So, once the hunter masters the various turkey trumpet skills the he will bring in the prize gobbler.
Hunters who use Slabs trumpet calls have a better chance of bringing in more gobblers. Try Slabs turkey trumpets and see how gobblers listen for the hens call, and watch them come to you!
