bugle tube

[mjtbackcountry]

What's your preference? Or do most of u make your own e

[halflife65]

I have Primos but I don't use the blue reed, just use a diaphram with the tube.  Also, I found another tube (no reed on it) that I use.  If I have a bunch of crap in my pack and space is limited I use the Primos pack bugle, again usually with no reed and just a diaphram.

bugling bull game calls   bully bull tube    sounds great

[JPhelps]

I use a $5 plastic bat for a bugle.  I have the Primos Terminator and Bugling Bulls bully tube and I like the sound of my bat the best.

My 11 year old daughter uses 1 of those plastice whistle tubes that she cut done it flexis and sounds awsome.

You can make your own or adjust one that you purchase.  You have to think hard about how you approach it...

Primos terminator that has the regulator valve...It attracts many dumbfounded hunters.

   I do the samething.  I kept the blue reed for my daughter to practice around on though.  She loves trying to call on it and the tube is actually in her toybox last I checked.

Best caller I have heard in the woods,used a piece of PVC pipe. 

[Todd_ID]

A piece of PVC put into Elknut's new Chuckler tube works awesome for extending the range.  You can hear the bugle much more clearly from a much greater distance than without the PVC.  It only needs to go about 1/2-3/4 of the way down into the fat part of the tube.  Unfortunately PVC is heavy and not flexible.  I'll certainly use it when calling at night to locate bulls, though.

 After seeing Joel Turner use this in person and explain how it works, I was convinced.

Another vote for the $3 dollar fatty wiggle ball bat and a roll of camo cloth tape. I call it the canyon blaster. It really reaches out and touches them with a mouth call.

Shhhh.

So, your telling me that all I need to do is go out to the shed in the back yard and pick one of the many plastic bats and cut out both ends and use that with the diaphragm?  Love it!

[carpsniperg2]

Yes a plastic bat. I like the ones that have a bigger tube the closer it gets to the end of the bat. The strait plastic bats don't sounds as good. Most time I just carry a small grunt tube. Never had much luck sounding like a big older bull. Seems like the bulls will just gather up there cows and take off the opposite way. Got to be small and less threating.

That's what I've heard.  Bully Bull is my favorite patented bugle.

I really like how my bully bull tube sounds, don't carry it that much though here on the west side. I carry my Rock Hard grunt tube from Point Blank, like the size and sound of it. I also have one of the corrugated tubes, that puts out pretty good sound also. I prefer not to sound like a huge bull,  Killed my bull last year just using cow calls.

[bowpredator]

I picked up a Point blank tube last year and really like the tone and sound it puts out. It is also compact and light weight. Have a whole box of tubes and calls, but this one is now my goto tube.

[bowhiker]

Mine would be the thunder bugle from Berry Game Calls. Great sound and different reeds to change out to get a young bull to mature bull sound.

[THEBUGLER]

Bully Bull tube for me.   Just because the tube is large doesn't necessarily mean you have to sound like the biggest bull in the woods. Reed control and the amount of voice that you add to your bugle while using the large tube dictates how intimidating that you sound. I like it because it can be really loud like a real bull, and can be heard from quite a distance. It also sounds authentic compared to corrugated tubes. If you want to be quieter, turn the selector at the big end and also call softer. Deadly.

[Recurve-Elk]

I use a chunk of cheap ridged plastic tubing.  About 2 inches wide, and 6 inches long.  Does the trick and fits in my pocket. 

[bucklucky]

Couple tubes I use.

I think everyone should get a terminator... that way I can locate the other hunters in my area and go the other way ...
