Here is a very nice trumpet I was lucky enough to get in Nashville . Well-known callmaker Mike Battey came by the booth with a couple trumpets . I knew immediately that I had to have one . This call plays with " 0 " effort . It will break over without having to control the air at all . The kee kees come easily and the yelps sound perfect . If you want a great call that is well made and easy to run , get hold of the Call Dr !!
While he was there , Mike showed me the prototype for his newest potcall being made with a wooden pot . Mike is best known for his famous plastic pots that have been used by many callmakers . He designed this call to sound as good as the plastic pots but they have the richer sound of natural wood . I am looking forward to getting my hands on one of those when they are available !! Thanks for the great call Mike !

Congrats Bob on another fine call and heard alot of great things about this trumpet from quite a few of the guys that got one...great job Mike,and we are glad to share time with ya here

Good lookin call...Id like to own one of them!...Especially if it runs easy!
-
They do run easy, the best call you will get for the price!

Here's another picture of the call . I ran this one while I was in the woods taking pics and it sounds great ! I watched a young boy put one to his mouth and immediately started yelping ! It takes no back pressure at all to make it break over . Can't wait to unleash it on some longbeards very soon !

Tell your son he can be my first Pro Staff member *up* . I believe when people saw him yelp so quickly..... I had 3 other people say.... I'll take one, got any left *cool*
Kids are great because they don't have any bad habits and don't Think too hard about the instructions. Watch out Turkeys......... he ready for Turkey Time NOW *up*

In all honesty I think everyone was trying to just give you confidence so you believed you called well enough to kill birds. ( which you did.... or can now! ) The WildTalker is a Hybrid Wingbone/ Trumpet so it will be easy to play....... even for those who may have struggled trying to sound good or play a Trumpet. They all actually gave a thumbs up to a production caller....... which I did appreciate.
So truth be known....... I have killed a LOT of birds with both Herb's and Permar's callers over the years..... and other great call makers.

Mike sent me one when he first started making them.
I agree with everything already said....GREAT Caller.
Sorry I didn't do Nashville this year, I really would liked to have seen Mike.
He taught me a LOT about turkey callers !!!!! and Friendship as well !!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to see him 'Back".
