If you find elk calling intimidating, you must watch this brief “trailer style” clip from the recent Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation World Calling Contest. You are about to see the gamut of experience from elementary school children to experienced hunters to one gal who began practicing just one month ago. Although the video is brief, you’ll see the kinds of bugle tubes that callers use as well as some of the diaphragms. Is your favorite calling device used by the professionals? Here’s your chance to see.
Variety of Calls
Just as you will experience a multitude of calls, you’ll also hear the kinds of calls that contest callers use in competition and in the wild. What you won’t hear is the classic five-note bugle that increases like a flute without growling or aggression. If you’ll be going elk hunting this fall, this YouTube clip can help you keep that desired sound in your head and help keep your calling sounds on track. Regardless, it’s fun to watch and educational to hear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq9PUkoHKX8&feature=youtu.be
