What diaphragm? The one that you are most confident with. Everyone has a different pallete size and applies tongue pressure different, so the only way to tell is buy a few different styles and test them out. A few calls that would give you a good idea on what you like and to see what works for you would be; bugling bull "raging bull", bugling bull "all star" and my "elk commander". Bugling or Cow calling? I use three elk calls 90% of the time while in the woods. Location bugle, pleading cow/estrus whines and challenge bugle. I locate from ridge tops primarily calling into every new finger or basin. Once a bull is located I move in silent (if possible) set up as close as I can (within 100 yds preferred) and estrus whine and follow it with a challenge bugle.Locate and then move in? Yes locate through glassing or bugling then move in for the setup.What calls work best? The one(s) that YOU are most confident and comfortable with. Not all calls will sound or work the same for everyone.

The best way to learn is by going out and playing with them.... (after your season or before)
I'm just saying. You are right its probably good practice but I recommend learning during the season.
