I have been using one since they first came out and, IMO, they are the best hands down!!  I have gotten bulls to light up after every hayhoo in the country has hit them with their Terminators etc and have quit bugling.  I also use it as a coyote howler with great success.  With out a doubt, my favorite of all my calls.

Has been my favorite as well.  Seems though in the last few years, it hasn't been as effective as in previous years, with everyone tooting a bugle, but I always have one while out hunting, great call and relativeley inexpensive!

I have used one since 2005.  I like them because they are relatively easy to use.  I taught my 6 year old son to use it, and he called in his first bull with it in 2006.  He's 10 now and he used it last season to draw 3 bulls into the same canyon below us at the same time.
One thing, I noticed that every bull we have pulled in with it was a satallite bull.  I can't think of a single herd bull that we have lured with it.  I imagine that is probably normal (since satallite bulls are generally looking for a fight, and herd bulls are looking to protect what they've got), and I am not too concerned about it, since we have called in some bruisers.  Now I just need to draw the $#@!ing tag!! :bash:
Two other guys in my camp use one too.  I was thinking about getting Elknuts Chuckler because I have heard so many good things about it on this site, and I wanted a different sounding call too.
