I just got one of Rockies Rut buster bugles. I have a monarch tube but wanted something a little smaller. Anyone have one...likes dislikes...........Thoughts?
Any customization tips?

I'm a complete novice when it comes to elk calling. I attribute any success I've had to the blind squirrel tripping over a nut scenario. I'd really be interested if someone could give some practical advice on elk calling (when to buggle vs. cow call, how often, etc, etc.).

I never use his mouth pieces that come on the end of the bugle's though as I am a fan of reeds so I can change volume and adjust the calls easier. This would be something I would absolutely recommend using with the rut buster! Some people cannot use diaphragms but he has made the tone tops which are easier to use for those who are looking to learn.
As for the monarch tube is concerned it was my favorite because of sound until the new bully bull tube came in the mail! That tube is smaller than the monarch and sounds even better in my opinion for magnification of the sound. It will be my bugle of choise this year for sure!

I like all 3 of those reeds as well! The green one is just harder to use and it doesn't give me the sounds as the other 3 do? The brown one is by far the most versitle and easiest to use because it can make every sound in the book!x1

Passion, the Monarch has very good sound for sure!! The Rut Buster in all honesty is a poor sounding bugle more in comparison with the primos pack bugle! It's quite a down slide from your Monarch! You have both, what do you think? The thing with the Monarch is its size & weight. Too, it cannot be used very easily at all with one hand, I'm sure you've noticed that?
I certainly agree with many here as well that Rockies calls are very good!! The Mini Master, Raging Bull & Scream N Tormentor are the ones that hunters pick up from us mostly!
The new Bugle we have is called the Chuckler Bugle, it's made by me & already Customized & ready to go! It's for the mouth diaphragm user & sports sound dead equal with the cutomized Monarch but has better sound than a Monarch just in the package. . It is not an external reeded bugle! The difference is, it's only 5.6oz compared to the Monarchs 22oz & it's easily used with one hand operation, it has a no sag build to it even though you can bend it to call in any direction, it's barrel end is 3 1/4" & has 4 tone dampeners on it for best quality sounds & no plastic ring to it at all. I like the Monarch but it requires two hand operation & in many instances guys have their bows in their left hands & their bugles in their right when in a close encounter with a bull. This new Chuckler is what I call a point & call Bugle! This bugle is of World Championship caliber!! It's only 29.95 compared to the 50.00 Monarch on our Site. I built this bugle for the hunter in mind!!

The sounds are pretty limited but for the size I can't complain. Between it and my reed calls and the hoochie mama I should be able to find something that gets em going :dunno:
