Here, I just pulled this off WDFW website.....
Can I use electronic decoys or electronic calls to hunt game species during open seasons?
It is illegal to hunt waterfowl, wild turkeys, or deer with the use or aid of battery-powered or other electronic devices as decoys. It is illegal to hunt waterfowl, wild turkeys, or deer with the use or aid of electronic calls. Restrictions do not currently exist for other game species.

Yes, legal for elk, but why? :dunno: Elk calls are some of the easiest and funnest calls to use IMO.
Agreed. I love my diaphrams and am planning on trying out Phelps' calls too. But I have a good wallow I was contemplating setting a tree stand up on and putting my foxpro below my tree stand, at the wallow with a Montana decoy. Might help draw in a bull coming to the wallow. It sounds like it'd work in theory, but I can't stand to sit for more than 1-2 hours anyways...

It's not for me but I believe they are effective in the right situations.

I have a buddy who uses one to act as his caller setup 30-50 yards behind him. It gives him full control while drawing the elk past his location. He would much rather call himself but most of the time he hunts solo. He has had some decent success using the foxpro.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Something to get the calls back and away from myself.

Ya i could see it being handy, My pack us usually heavy enough tho. Maybe if you found some close enough to a road, but in the deep woods I try to go in lite and come out heavy! :chuckle:

I'm only talking about packing it in 3.5 miles. Not bad at all.
