Get ahold of Joel Turner. Or look his stuff up on Youtube, he also has some articles to read. He's amazing.

Paul (aka. Elknut) is the man. He will improve your chances of killing an elk 10-fold. 4 elk in 2 years thanks in large part to Paul, and I was pretty successful before I stumbled into his material.

I would second the motion for JOEL TURNER.   Not only is Joel an amazing elk caller but he is an equally capable teacher (hard to find that combination).   He is gracious and willing to help out even those beyond help (Like me) :hello:.   Try the tale end of the Lethal Release video for some good tips too. :twocents:

Jim horn JR has some good cd's aswell. don't get hung up on having the best bugle in the woods . learn what a elk is looking for at what time . while hunting and making noise in the woods play with your cow calls and soft lil bugles , you may be surprised who answers back. I think alot of hunters get stuck with either just cow calling or bugleing and don't mix it up. If your bugling a bull and he just answers , then close the gap and mix in other calls to try to trigger a reaction . remember while hunting preasured areas you need to tone it down , locate and move in . not many bulls in hunted areas will come running in from a half mile . good luck.

There sure was some positive feed back.  You need to have a Hunting-Washington.com give away...      :dunno: ;) ;) ;)

Joel usually puts on clinic's around the state depending on the shop who wants to host him.  He has been all over and I would go if you have a chance.  Total stud and I have not heard anyone in this state that can out call him. 
I would keep your eye on this site as when that time comes this summer it is usually posted on here as to his clinic locations.

As someone who began calling 20 years ago, with Berry's Best Big Bull Mfg (?) diaphragms, I thought I was as good as anyone else I heard, I still got more action (after location) with my Sceery "Ace"
I read, everything that is out there, have sat through seminars, have watched videos... etc...
After buying the compleate set of DVD's and everthing (except for the calls, as I can use a blade of grass if I have to..) I learned WHY sometimes they (the Elk) did what they did.
I had so many moments while watching the videos that I slapped my self in the head saying "Duh!"
I am one of those that was making all the right sounds, for all the wrong reasons, sometimes I got lucky, but now I make my own "Luck", my Elk seasons will never be the same.
I do not care how good you sound, real elk sometimes sound crappy, but the right sound, in the right moment...
