Great looking call!

I don't know if it is possible, but this call sounds better than it looks.  I plan to let the turkeys be the judges this weekend.  Thanks Ralph.

I received this note and photos from my friend who took his call to the woods.  John, Congratulations on a great hunt.

"Ralph,
  I saw that you had posted a picture of my trumpet on Osage roost.  I commented that I was going to give it a try and let the turkeys be the judge.  Let me preface that although I have taken a fair number of turkeys in the spring I have never taken a turkey in the fall.  My total turkey hunting time this fall has been one afternoon and one morning.  The morning hunt is when I saw some action.  I set up on a hillside before dawn.  As dawn approached I gave a few soft tree yelps but got no response.  I didn't know it but there were a few turkeys roosted about 60 yards away.  They did not call but at fly down time they flew toward a field edge about 150 yards away.  Several others joined them.  Only one was strutting.  I yelped a few times and then did a lost call.  The whole flock just started my way.  When they were about 80 yards away they dropped into a depression and out of sight.  I lost callled again and in about two minutes the whole flock was on top of the hill about 25 yards away.  I managed to get a bead on the strutter and the rest is history.  I said in my comment on Osage Roost the I didn't think it was possible but that call sounds better than it looks.  The proof is in the pictures.  Thanks again.
 
John"
