Title: Deep timber sounds
Post by: Jpmiller on February 08, 2018, 01:28:05 PM: Anyone used one of their calls before? I talked to the guy at the sportsman's show and liked the look of his stuff but it's different than I'm used to which makes me leery lol. I do really like the ease of replacement on them and the guy could make some good sounds out of it. Just looking to see if anyone had any experience good or bad with them.

What is it about them that you decided to move away from using them?

Once you have mastered it, you will enjoy the results, if you can handle calling every hunter in on the mountain that is.On a bit of a side note, it takes a pile of wind to operate the call correctly.

For Elk, I have an E.L.K Power Bugle and Primos Terminator. The power bugle produces a crisp clear long tone. The terminator in my opinion is great for an area with dominant bulls; it's aggressive sounding.

imho.
