How are your elk sounds?

Excellent; I can make all of the necessary elk sounds on demand!
4 (6.1%)
Very good; I can make all the basic four sounds (cow sounds, locator bugle, challenge bugle/scream, nervous bark) well.
20 (30.3%)
Average I guess; but I need to practice more so I can employ the right sounds when needed.
24 (36.4%)
Below average I suppose; I'd better go find my calls and see if they still work.
7 (10.6%)
Bad; does anybody have some elk calls I could borrow?
3 (4.5%)
I don't use any kind of elk calls during the rut. Non-verbal noises work fine for me (brush raking, foot stomping, water splashing, etc.).
2 (3%)
Do elk make noises?
6 (9.1%)

my straight up bugle is good but I can't bark or chuckle well.  I am working on the chuckle and have reasons to hope I get it figured out by the time I need it.
I know I've lost it, let me know if you come across it

Yes, chuckling is a great item to have in your elk calling toolkit.  Nothing like getting close to a herd with a bull and "calling to his gals" with some chuckles.
