Title: Idaho wolf hunt - alpha howler?
Post by: KFhunter on December 17, 2019, 12:24:35 PM: Picked up an alpha howler and a couple other calls I've been wanting, including a Phelps open reed cow call. (which I LOVE btw)

Any feedback on the alpha howler?

I'll be hitting it come 2020

Seems like a lot of the videos I have watched over the years they guys killing the most of them use there own voice to howl for them and lots of time finish them with a distress call after they answer or know they are close.

I've got other plans for Idaho though and some ideas I want to try out besides howling at them like everyone else :chuckle:

The one that is awesome is the Elk Inc Howler.

It's easy to use and sounds way way better.

i got the bugler, looks like it uses the same bands...maybe I'll just put on a shorter tube and see if I can get it to play :tup:
