Post by: Smossy on July 23, 2013, 04:07:56 PM
Just ordered my first set of Elk diaphram calls!  :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: Super excited to get practicing for next year. How hard are diaphram calls to learn once you get them for all you elk hunters out there.. ?

Ordered the  Bully Bull Grunt Tube, Temptress cow call, All-Star, Raging Bull, and Mellow Yellow Momma.
I should be good to cover just about everything no?  :dunno:

Yes those calls should cover it. Learning to call is only about 25% of the game. Knowing WHEN to call and which sound to make is the other 75%. There are lots of good videos online, calling seminars to attend that will help a ton. Nothing beats experience and time in the elk woods. The last two weeks of September are magical.  :tup:

Half the battle with theh calls are getting used to them in your mouth with out gaging  :puke:

Once you get past that, its all about learning "how" and most importantly, "when" to call.

These are the best out there IMO. The only 2 I carry! You get out of them what you put in. Practice, practice, practice. I used Elknuts vids to help teach me. Im very confident in my calling.
