Lost my Elk101 Calls :(
« on: September 05, 2013, 01:20:07 PM »
Lost all my calls.
Friggen depressing. I just bought them like 2 months ago, and I've already lost all 3 of them (They were in the same bag) My Bugling Bull, Yellow Mellow Momma, and my All-star.  :'(
I've literally been obsessing on it the last few days, tearing apart the house. I know I had one last week because I was annoying the people at MacDonalds with it.
All of a sudden, GONE.  :bash: I'm stumped, and sol.

Sorry just had to rant, anyone else lose something important during hunting season that they felt was important?

You'll likely lose 100-200 mouth diaphram calls in your hunting career if you're anything like me.

Get used to it. That's why they make more.

:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I lost one on the opener. Used a new one on day two and the morning of day three I found the first one.

I don't think they're lost or misplaced. I would check SG's purse or find out where she hides stuff.  :chuckle: Ya can't just lose them just like that. :bash:

Naw I just stripped my bag last night to go into the washer and did a inventory check and removed a few more things. No calls. Just my hand calls. I have a cow hand call but all my diaphragm calls are gone.

I lost a nice R&R predator call. Ordered another and told him I needed a call to find the lost call.

Didn't work.

Do you practice your calling while driving?  Check your rig, under your seats, on the dash, etc.  My rigs have eaten many a mouth call over the years.  So has the forest  :chuckle:

Yep I lost an Elk Commander in my truck last month and spent 30 minutes looking for it.  Ended up finding it finally and had a nice clean truck cab.

I am a firm believer that your experience will be a direct result of the amount of work you put into it.  There is allot of elk season left, and honestly they will only get more active as the cows estrus cycles start to show up.  The calls may not be needed depending on where you are hunting allot of elk in high pressure areas will associate calls with humans, and avoid them.
