Since you've got your cow/calf calls down its time to jump up to bugling. Of course every set up is different and theres no magic call to make. If you can hear them, stop calling when their about 75 yards away from you so they come the last distance. Dont over do it and let them pin point you. Now if you get a response, just give the elk enough subtle calls to keep them coming. And then after you wait an additional 3- 5 minutes you can escalate your calling to a louder volume to reach out even further and ad in a variety of cow/ calf dialog ( about 10-12 calls). Wait approximately 2-3 minutes and do it again only this time raise your volume to extend out to more distant elk.

First find a place to set up in front of a tree bush etc. Less is more, but you do have to keep an elk intrested with enough calling. You are going to want to back off quite a bit on how many times you keep blowing the call. Sounds like you have a great start! The tone of your call sound good.

I have been practicing my muew and calf talk, I think I want to focus on this type of calling this year and work into the bugle next year. I have done some research on how to call and what to say. I have been working with it or chewing on it to get used to it so that I don’t have the gagging reflex when it comes time to start calling in the Fall. With the diaphragm and of course the single reed is very easy to use and have been practicing with both. I bought a mouth diaphragm single reed and double reed, I think I like this type of call at this point in my calling as an archery hunter and bought a cow box call with a band on the mouth piece, it’s ok. OK, now that I have bought some calls and have been practicing for about 2 months I would like to get some advice. ![]()
