what is your favorite elk bugle? I wore out my old one and it is time for a new one. It got me wondering what favorite bugles others have.

Primos tube with Abe and sons mouthpiece for locating, then switch to a diaphragm for close in work.

Bugling Bull Game Calls by Rocky Jacobson. Best grunt tube and by far the best reeds

Primos pack bugle and Hoochie mama

Homemade diaphragm calls, Jones' grunt tube
Jones Calls - Small, Medium & Large bull diaphragms, Persuader.
Primo's pack bugle
Glen Berry diaphragms

I mix 'em up and try to find just the right sound to excite bulls

Jones reeds with a grunt tube, easy to use and sounds good.

Berry Thunder Bugle colapsable. Sounds good and easy to pack around. Call bulls into 35 and 30 yards the last two years for kill shots using it. I have had great success with it.

ElkNut has some nice bugles. Good tones and dont have the plastic sound to them. Pretty light weight when compared to Rockys bugle.

I use a Powerbugle, but I have heard so many good things on this site about Elknut's calls I may have to get one before Sept. Primos diaphrams for cow calling.

One that someone else uses to call a bull in for me to shoot. It could be Western Family for all I care.

My cousin has a small bugle he calls the Pioneer call. It looks like a homemade job, but I believe he bought it at a store somewhere in Colorado in the 80's. The call is a piece of 1/2'' copper tubing wrapped in about 3 circles. All you do is blow through it and it sounds like a small bull. Any one ever heard of one of these?

I have seen one. a buddy of mine has one. They are pretty cool

I see a few are using the thunder bugle from Berry's game calls. Good to hear as I just bought one yesterday. That high pitch squeal sounds good for the roosevelt. Up to this point, it's been pretty much the hoochie mama.

Elk Inc. Powerbugle. I've tried the mouth reeds MANY times through the years but can't get a decent sound. Most won't even fit properly in the roof of my mouth. Guess I'm deformed
