iSnipe;
Thank you so much for the reply and i will keep my questions limited in the future...

One of the things i love about hunting early season rutting elk in az, is the ability to "talk" to them. Any animal that is vocal and responds make the hunt amazing..., and this is the reason that i opted for an archery hunt w/my buddies in Kansas.

Sure, I've used a grunt to stop a deer in it's track to take a better look at him & place an ethical shot, but i have never had the opportunity to do much more than that and was hoping that this archery hunt would allow me to.

I have a set of cabelas rattling horns & a grunt tube and just want to make sure that i use them correctly. However, I am sure that alot of using this gear will be trial & error and something that i will have to get the feel for. Do you recommend any certain type of calls...? I have seen the electronic calls w/snort-wheeze, grunts and rattles. And, the advantage that i can see with this set-up is (if you keep fresh batteries in), the ability to throw the sound away from your position and keep the bucks interest away from you... I've been in a stand rattling before (late season in saskatchewan) and actually brought bucks in directly (from behind my position) below my stand looking directly at me & never had a chance to raise the rifle, so that's the only reason i could think of using an electronic call (also somewhat hands free (like using a remote))...
Anyway, thanks again for the info as it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks;
