Beans, thats why they call it hunting, sometimes I bump them and my hunt is blown, I do mostly stalk and hunt and its dificult to carry all calls that are avaliable ,especially when I go in with the intent that I may spend the night, so some times you got to keep it simple, but dureing the bull rut which is dureing Sept./Oct. all I will take as far as calls go is a cow and calf call and that maybe reassureing to other elk and may give them a sense of being comfortable in knowing that other elk are in the are. I personally do not like the Primos hootchi whochi calls as no skill is required in useing one, before you know it theres hunters all in the woods useing the hootchies and can' t change the tone. Its not going to take long for this ole bull to wise up if every hunter in the woods is immulateing the same pitch.
The RMEF Bugle championship has never been awarded to anyone useing the hootchie or simular crapp. Bobby
