bugling in elk question

[huntnnw]

Man wouldn't you like to hunt that Primos ranch one time. lets see those guys hunt a little OTC public land that would make a good show. not to hijack the thread but you have to love that on your own adventure guy he gets it done.

Point is they have a show to make...they started as you and I did a long time ago..they now have the money or the swag to get into large chunks of private...the tv industry drives them to put kills on film or you dant have a show simple as that

Yea i get it i am not hating. i like seeing those bulls walk by slobering at 2 yards also i just wonder if they have the goods to get it done on public land? they probably do. and if i had the dough i would have a white river indian tag in my pocket in a second.

bully bull grunt tube and a brown bugling bulls reed is easier to make all bull sounds with than any external reed bugle imo. you can buy the reed for like six bucks and the bugle tube for like twenty five or so. if you want to save some money just buy a wiffle ball bat, pretty much the same thing.

Hey Blacktailcrzy, if your not too far from tenino, you can come down sometime and I may be able to help on your buglng and chuckling a bit. Might even have a good budy and prostaffer for bugling bull gamecalls stop by. Let me know.

[blacktailcrzy]

bucklucky i might just take you up on that offer here when it gets closer to the season if thats ok

I heard a bull rip a bugle on Sunday.   Dang I love that sound.

[bullchaser]

did you thats nutz i saw a bull bugle in april once.

[boneaddict]

They talk all the time, but usually half heartily.    I was watching a bunch of cows and assumed no bulls....all of a sudden.....FULL TILT chuckle and everything..........It sounded like the 20th of September.   Then he stepped out of a hollow of brush.  A nice 6x6.    VERY COOL!

We had one by my house here that would rip anytime a train blew its horn......as long as it was not bright and sunny.

I'm going to give away one of my secrets here.  Besides using some of my own reeds and bugling bull reeds.  I use  turkey reed for the best bugles.

Buy a knight and hale "prosecutor" turkey call.  It is hands down the best reed for bugling that I have used.

Sounds like Charlie is hosting the SW Washington elk calling championships.

I have had great success doing that and not using a tube, just my hands.

thanks jphelps i will have to try that

No question about it the guy that masters a diphram rules, not only does he get bull sounds but great cow sounds also. I have never been happy calling elk with one, turkeys I'm fine. For me its ELK INC. bugle first choice or Berry Thunder bugle second choice. I can bugle, grunt, and chuckle with them, no problem.

I will throw in another vote for Bugling Bull's reeds. I carry a selection of them depending on what I want to do, the Chappell series are excellent as is the Elk 101. I prefer the Palate plate design over the Dome top though. It is all presonal preference when it comes down to it though, some guys like the standard type reeds that are flat. Elknut has great stuff as does Bugling Bull, get some of the CD's and practice, practice ,practice. I listen to them so much in my truck that my kids(5 and 7 year old boys) have gotten good at voice calling since they practice with me.

 Learn to cow call well also, especially for rosies in my opinion, with how short our season is sometimes they aren't in the mood to come to a bugle and besides they aren't looking to fight they are looking for Love.

One other thing is that I always have a reed in my mouth no matter is I am Bow hunting or rifle hunting. What happens though is I get to chewing on them and eventually they wear out. Carry a couple spares with ya, I know some guys say they use the same reed all for a couple years. I have had reeds get little nicks in them and the sound get off or you can't make the sound you want and it would be a bummer not to have another one with ya.
