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.

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.

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.

Bully Bull tube for me. :tup:  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.

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.

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

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