As far as calls goes. I own elknuts bugle. "The chuckler". It works great. All my other calls are made by Rocky Jacobson. Pretty much the only reed I carry in my mouth is the blue one called "the remedy" does everything from cow calls to rag horn bulls. Does all of their sounds.  You will also want a mouth call to give you more range. Rocky Jacobsons "who's yer daddy is the best." Here's some links.

Anymore questions just ask. The calls are a personal preferance. But work great. The calling CDs are non negotiable. You want to learn to call in elk. Get them now and listen to them over and over again and practise practise practise. If you do this you will call in bulls.

Funny, that is pretty much my arsonale as well, The Remedy is a dandy, but also get the brown one, its the Ragging Bull, but I am starting to like the Remedy the best..  And as far as the whose your daddy cow call, its pretty good I tooted that for a few years but i will have to be honest, Phelps cow call blows it out the water, more realistic sounding IMO.. You cant practice enough blowing elk calls especially one you put a reed in your mouth it takes practice to be an elk..

Few people are lucky to find a call or bugle that works for them the 1st try. There are so many nowadays that its hard to find one that fits the user AND sounds good. Its a hard combination to find. Im sure you'll have fun trying them all. Good luck

i dont head in the woods without it...best call ive heard...if i can call in a bull the first time out with it the call must be damn good

Stick with some light, soft cow chirps. Seen roosies go the other way when they are bugled at.

I was a big fan of Abe and sons until I tried the E.L.K. Power Bugle.  Hands down my favorite for elk and coyotes!  I have found that when every yayhoo in the country is spooking the elk with the Primos Terminator or whatever the call of the day is, the Power bugle will get them talking again.  I have tested this on herds up at St. Helens on many occasions with the same results every time.  They are awesome calls!

You can call in an elk using any call out there.  It matter more "what" you say then how you sound.  An example is if a bull throws a locator call out to you no matter how good your challenge call response sounds that bull is still going to run.  I mentioned elknuts CD's because they will teach you the "language" of elk.  Then when a bull bugles at you or a cow chirps at you you know exactly what they just said and the appropriate response.  Basically the response they are looking for.

    I use the blue reed for all my cow calls, the yellow for young satellite bull calling and the brown for herd bull/big bull calling.  This year worked out great for it and I put on a show for my wife calling away at three different bulls at the same time mixing up the calls facing different directions.  What ever works for you give it a try.   After JPhelps's article on his calls earlier this year I think I'm going to pick one up for next year.

I love the Bully Bull tube, and the all star, remedy, raging bull reeds  from Bugling bull. I have some buddys who hunt Roseys and love the Bully Bull tube also. It is a large diameter tube that is LOUD!  In the north Idaho jungles where I hunt, I wouldnt leave home without it

What I find curious, I have been chasing Roosevelts for 3 years now, after 20+ years on the east-side (I began on the west-side 33 years ago,but that was rifle) and thought I was a good Elk caller.
EVERY year I talk to quite a few Elk hunters who always say "Their just not bugling", and "They are not in the rut yet".
I have heard Elk bugle every year despite what these guys have said, even managed to get in some bugling exchanges with Bulls.
I feel that whatever you can make work for you, what you are confortable with, will work.
Practice, practice, well you get the idea.
Then when you think you can make a reasonable bugle...
Thats all you need, some real elk I have heard have been the worst buglers out there.
The key is knowing when to bugle, and when not to.
When hunting Roosevelts, I have learned that if you bugle from the top of a hill, you usually do not get a response.
But get down in the "Thick and Nasty" and lots of times it is a whole different story...
I also learned a new "trick" this year from a member on here that resulted in a LOT more responses, but have taken an oath of silence.
I highly reccomend getting Elknuts DVD's, they will also tell you when to bugle, and why...
IMO, cow/calf calls need more practice than the bugles.
Remember, in September, Bulls want cows.
So a Cow call can be your best friend, You can get a response from a lousy bugle, but if your cow calling does not sound real...
