Whether you’re just starting out in the world of elk hunting, or are a seasoned veteran, at some point during your preparations each fall, your thoughts turn to elk calls. But with so many calls to choose from, it can be a bit confusing – if not overwhelming – trying to figure out how different calls are used, how to get the best sound out of them, how they sound in comparison to each other, and which one you should buy if you happened to be in the market for one. In this series, Chris goes over five of the most popular “classes” of cow elk calls available on the market – those being Mechanical calls, Manual calls, Bite and Blow calls, Mouth Diaphragm calls, and Open Reed calls – from three of the most popular manufacturers – those being Primos Hunting Calls, Hunter’s Specialties/Carlton Calls, and Bugling Bull Game Calls, and one relative new-comer to the elk calls scene – Mossback Game Calls. Chris not only covers how each of the calls is used and how to get the best sound out of them, but he talks about the advantages and disadvantages of each call as well, so you can have a better understanding of some of the calls you may already own, or what to look for in a call based on your experience level or personal preferences should you be in the market to purchase one.
