This call is just awesome, I love the sounds it makes.

I had to work the week of the opener but was able to get Friday off.  So at 330 on Thursday afternoon I headed out of town and for my cabin in the Colockum.  I arrived at 6pm and hurried into the woods.  20 minutes into the woods I started hitting the call every once in a while as I slipped deeper into the woods, immediately I had a cow respond to the call and calf came running in to 29 yards.  With a cow tag in my pocket and the future of the herd standing in front of me I held off and waited for another elk.  They ended up getting spooked by a couple of other hunters that were hiking out of the woods as the weather was heading in.  They apologized for busting the elk and I said no worries that is hunting on public ground.  They asked where I was going and I told them deeper to find the elk.  Another 20 minutes and a single cow came in at 70 yards and then retreated over the horizon.  When I came over the top she was gone.  I kept hiking and got into the middle of several bulls bugling.  As it got dark I was confident that I had a great spot to hit first thing in the morning.  An hour after dark I made it back to my truck just as the sky opened up and start to dump rain.  There was thunder and lightening all night.  I figured that would keep the elk down all night and I would go straight to them in the morning.

The next morning I got back to the spot and when I got out of the truck I could hear 3 or 4 bulls bugling on the other side of the road than I had been on the night before and close.  I made a B line for what I thought was right in between the bulls.

I blew the call once and the bull to my right responded.  I moved closer and a spike ran through the opening in front of me.  To the right I could see yellow moving through the trees.  I ranged the trees on the other side of the opening at 29 yards.  Just as I got my arrow nocked a cow stepped into the opening at what had to be under 20 yards, right behind her was a 6x7 bull that looked right at me as I drew back.  She was quartering away from me and never saw the arrow release.  The old school 100 grain thunderhead hit the mark entering in the middle of the ribs and exiting dead center of the far shoulder.  She went thirty yards still in my sight and stumbled to the ground, stood up, took two or three steps and then fell over for the finish.

It all happened so fast I couldn't believe it.  This call is awesome and I was proud to have it with me.

Good eats in the freezer.  Thanks Jason for the great call and thank you Aaron for you service and sacrifice. RIP

Hey everybody I am 16 years old and have been hunting as much as I possibly can since I was 8, this past spring my dad bought a couple of Jason Phelps' cow calls that had the Colockumelk print around them in memory of Aaron and we were determined to call in elk this year with them. Well we started the season with four archery elk tags and yesterday evening we filled the last two and every one was called in with a colockumelk call. It was by far the best hunting experience I have ever had, my dad and I were sitting on a watering hole that we knew would have elk coming to it in the evening and then all of a sudden we heard a bull beating up on a tree above us. then he bugled and then it just got crazy from then on out, their were cows talking and bulls rubbing. it seemed like an hour but they finally worked their way down the hill to the meadow and five calves came first, running across the meadow and into the wallow. I held out for what seemed like forever, watching them play and then finally a cow came across the field and to the other side of the wallow. I waited for her to take a drink and touched one off at 55 yards, it was a passthrough right in the lungs. they all spooked and with a little convincing of the Phelps call they came back in and my dads friend shot one. they both only went 50 yards. Then we watched the 345+ inch bull beat up on a tree on the other side of the meadow for a bit until we had to go find our cows. Thank you Jason for making these calls, they work magic on elk it is crazy!! and most importantly thank you Aaron for serving our country, and keeping us safe. I believe you are still hunting through the eyes of all of us.

Pretty special moment for me.

Giving this one a bump, didn't see any muzzy kills get added to this thread.  Hopefully there were a couple.

No kill for me but the day before the season, while having a bloody mary and practicing with the call two branched bulls came into camp. Scared the bejeezus outta me as i am standing there and here they come. Never saw them again but it was a spike only hunt in Cowiche muzzy.
