Years ago we took the kids to NW Trec in October. It was raining so I grabbed my Gore-Tex hunting jacket, while we were there I found my mouth reed in one of the pockets, so I figured why-not!!!  :chuckle:. As we went by the elk I did some cow calls and a little bugle. All the elk looked up and the bull chuckled back, then started walking our way (got with in 10yrds). All of the Asian tourist freaked out and ran to the other side of the tram, it was awesome  :chuckle: . My kids loved it

thats awesome!!!
~  ~One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like "hey, there's an *censored*."”

Be come one with Nature......... Then Marinade it.

One moment you're flying south for the winter, then - BANG - gravy.

I practice at home, in my work truck. At home when the wife or daughter come in the room and tell me to stop, it works. :chuckle: :chuckle:

I was married for 8 years before I knew my wife could use the "F" word.  And all I had to do was blow a few elk bugles in the house. :chuckle:

Same here....I think my wife is probably rounding up some Divorce paperwork today on her day off.   lol  I am going to take the advice of several people here and practice in the car on the way to and from work.

I usually do all my practice every day for about a month before september in my truck on the way to work.

 :yeah: I 2nd it.. I do all my practice in the truck while driving to and from work. Lots of time on your hands while driving. I don't suggest using a tube while driving though, lots of people look at you really weird plus it not that safe  :chuckle: . If your just learning, pick up a CD and try to mimic it or just listen to it. Can be helpful.
BEEN THEIR DONE THAT  :chuckle: :chuckle: :tup:
