Thanks for the links - I had read the Alta, but not the Big Buck Down.  Good read - congratulations on the award - Nice Buck

Thanks Whacker. You too Travis.  I believe Bowsandhose is probably going to snag it this year with his big Blues bull.

Beautiful animal. Great story. At this risk of sounding like a dummy, what are the antler pcs hanging from your neck ? Are those an elk call ? Sure look cool.

Those are our own Bearmanricks predator calls.  I traded him a couple sheds for some calls then took them down to NM with me.  Everyone in the woods was using the hoochie mama etc.  The elk were pretty callshy to them. soooooooo I used a secret weapon.  His cow and calf elk sounds worked just fine.  They are high volume calls (made for predator hunting) so I had to tone it down a bit.  I figured it was good MOJO too.

I'd love to have a set of those calls. Trinkets like that pull my chain. Does he advertise them on here ?

Thanks guys. Watch for them elksnout.  Every once in awhile he will post a batch of them on here, or you can pm him with your interest.  Let him know what ones you are tlaking about as he has a bunch of different sounding ones.
