What is your elk call setup.

[Wetwoodshunter]

I just ordered a bunch of new calls (kit 7) from Elknut and can't wait for them to get here.

In the past I have only used the primos cow girl, a random hand me down blue reed bugle, and couldn't get comfortable with diaphram reeds, most likely from lack of practice.  This year I decided I'm going to learn to talk to the elk. So it sparked my question, what calls are your favorites? What ones are you not do find of?

Bugling Bulls brown and yellow.  Bully bull tube.  Been wanting to try the new elknut tube.

Most calls are capable, the only ones I really didn't like was the Mac Daddy and point blank calls don't fit me right.

Pick up a Phelps ez estrous, one of the best open reed cow calls out tgere as far as what I use, Phelps diaphrams, blue and brown bugling bulls diaphrams, and a Phelps tube.

Rocky Mountain All Star has worked well for me. I had trouble keeping air from going over the top of the call with some of the flatter profile calls. The plastic top really helped me.

Still haven't gotten reeds to make the noises I want while under pressure but i like the stuff from bugling bull

The easier question for me to answer would be what do I not have in the arsenal   Phelps, primos, Bugling Bulls, sceery, Berry, the list is endless.  Every summer I order half a dozen or so diaphrams, some new, some tried and true.  Always enjoy running new calls through the paces.

That phelps extra estrus call is s good looking call. I might need one in charcoal.

The two calls you will receive are the Mellow Yellow & the Mistress, they are world class calls, I also use those two on my elk hunts. The Mellow Yellow is great for very soft or louder cow calling, the Mistress is the best All Purpose call I've ever used, it's range is phenomenal. It's great for all sounds elk produce, cow or bull. Just put in your need practice & you'll do just fine.

  Have you used mouth reeds in the past? Thanks!

I have used a lot of different calls, my favorite cow calls  are the carlton calls, I find with bugles it isn't as important witch one. I have called in tons of bulls with the primos bugles. but cow calls all have a little different sound. when you get your arsenal put together figure out witch one is the easiest for you to make the quality elk talk. so when your shaking like a virgin on prom night, and your hearts racing, trying to close that last little bit of distance you will still be able to make that quality sound.

I used the Wayne Carltons cow in estrus whine last year and I had the Bulls going crazy. So far that's the golden call for me

I have not used mouth reeds at all in the woods in the past. I have a set of 5 from primos but I'm to scared to try them outside my house because sometimes I get them to make god awful screeches. I played with there white one the most and can do an ok bugle but can't do any realistic cow sounds.

I am however excited to try and learn them. Wayched a bunch of YouTube videos and will be practicing a lot before the season.

Elknut Chuckler, Berry reeds, Carlton Bull Hooker to mix up cow chatter.
