Then that package should be a good one, but you will need to buy extra diaphragms. I use the exact one that is in the package, so just buy extras. But you already know that from using them on turkeys.

For the novice I would say bugle very little and then only to get a response/locate a bull. Then put up the bugle and move in with cow calls. Yes, there are guys that can effectively use the bugle up close, but there are so many pitfalls, that a newby is better off not trying it.

I take 3 cow calls. Two are in that package. And the third is the Primos Hyper Lip Single with Tone Converter Call. I use the mouth diaphragm the most, but sometimes you have to mix it up to get them interested.

I recommend the CDs by elknut at elknut.com These are not polished videos and there is no hunting on them, but he tells you what the elk are saying and what to say back. Worth a look.
