can an experienced elk hunter give me some recommended calls for both cow vocalizations and bull. I am quite partial to using mouth Diaphragm calls since at least with turkeys you can make a whole lot more vocalizations you can't make with any other call. if it is anything like turkey calls, the quality varies greatly.

thanks

I use the Carlton elk diaphragms, they seem to work the best for me you can get the 3 pak big bull brown, blue is a bugle or a great cow call can do both which works awesome you do not have to change calls while do a sequence. Just my two cents

I actually use a lot of the same diaphragm calls for turkey and elk. To me there is little difference. That is what I use to bugle and cow call. I also use a Sleezy handheld cow call for a different sound. They work for me. I'm sure other will recommend some great calls. Whatever you choose, spend time practicing. YouTube has a gob of videos of actual elk making vocalizations so you can practice along to the sounds.

If you don't mind, drop us an introduction in the new members section.

check out glacier country hunting calls. I really like those so far and troy is a great person and willing to help on the basics of calling

I have been really impressed with the Steve Chappel line of calls. He does some good videos too on calling so check those out as well

I use Rocky Mountain Game Calls. I think Steve Chappel designs some of their calls. I have been impressed with how easy they are to use. These are the first diaphragm calls that I have been able to use consistently.
