Title: what is your favorite elk bugle?
Post by: shorthair-on-point on July 15, 2009, 10:02:30 AM: what is your favorite elk bugle? I wore out my old one and it is time for a new one. It got me wondering what favorite bugles others have.

Jones Calls - Small, Medium & Large bull diaphragms, Persuader.
Primo's pack bugle
Glen Berry diaphragms

My cousin has a small bugle he calls the Pioneer call. It looks like a homemade job, but I believe he bought it at a store somewhere in Colorado in the 80's. The call is a piece of 1/2'' copper tubing wrapped in about 3 circles. All you do is blow through it and it sounds like a small bull. Any one ever heard of one of these?

I have seen one. a buddy of mine has one. They are pretty cool

Post by: bowhiker on July 25, 2009, 06:56:01 PM: I see a few are using the thunder bugle from Berry's game calls. Good to hear as I just bought one yesterday. That high pitch squeal sounds good for the roosevelt. Up to this point, it's been pretty much the hoochie mama.

Post by: willapawapiti on July 25, 2009, 10:21:08 PM: Elk Inc. Powerbugle. I've tried the mouth reeds MANY times through the years but can't get a decent sound. Most won't even fit properly in the roof of my mouth. Guess I'm deformed :dunno:
