Bully bull grunt tube and a raging bull diaphragm for bugling. I use a mellow yellow, who's yrr daddy, and a hoochie momma for cow calls. I use the bugle the most though.

Most of the time I have either "The Boss" or "Dragon Slayer" in my mouth. This year we released two new calls...The Beast and the redesigned tag Notcher that are showing a ton of promise.

I always have an EZEstrus around my neck and a Phelps Locate-A-Bull tube in my hand. 

We have some new diaphragm frames in the works that we hope to have available by May of 2016.

I know it's the carpenter and not the hammer but...
Tony used the EZEstrus and Herd Wrecker diaphragm to call in the new State Record Roosevelt


Jacob and Josh used the EZEstrus to lure in the new state record  Cascade Roosevelt this past season.

These Phelps calls do the job! I have had more encounters with bulls the last 3 seasons using them, then ever, and a couple dead ones on the ground.

I only use Phelps Game Calls reeds and eze estrus along with Phelps tube . All phelps calls for me . Phelps has been working his ass off the past few years getting his reeds dialed . Every year he has improved on his reeds and IMO they are right there with the Giants of the elk call industry. My favorites are the signature cow , dragon slayer, boss and the beast .

Here's another to some Phelps custom diaphragms this past year.  I have used Bugling Bull Game Calls for years.  After telling Jason what I was after this year, he whipped up some custom calls and they were some of the best I've used.

I’ve been around Elk Calls all my life you need to sound like the real thing! No one does it better then my dad Glen Berry of Berry Game Calls.  He used the new Golden Dome diaphragms calls and the Golden Tone grunt tube to call this bull in for me in 2015 Washington State.

That's a pig of a bull Chad, congrats.  Enjoyed talking with Glen at the Puyallup Sportsman show a while back.  RJ

I use mine a lot when bear calling and cougar calling. The far right is my elk call being a rifle hunter I use for locating a lot. Rick

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

Yup.  Exactly what I run.  I also like the Estrous excited ( orange ) reed from bugling bull.  The only bite and blow I run is the Bugling bulls  one.  Not even sure of the name anymore as I have had it for years but it is green and black. 

I have tried many many calls and these are what works for me personally.

Jason and his crew having been winning calling contest so they must be putting out a great calls. I need to get back to Mouth calls. So check out Phelps calls. Jason is a serious call maker and it shows in his calls. Rick
