Yes I have used the Hoochie mamma. It's not one of my personal favorites. If you want cow-- calf talk, it can't be beat. Problem is it ends there, it lacks other important sounds that can be made with other cow calls. But if interested in simulating a small herd with spike to raggy squeals and cow-- calf sounds it would work great to get a rise out of a bull or attract other elk to you.

When purchasing cow calls I look for calls that can do nearly all sounds, I usually will carry two of them.
For instance---for pre-estrus whines, lost or seperated cow calls, distress cow sounds, or come on over this way cow talk it's hard to beat primos hyper lip single, but it can't give you good calf sounds or calf distress sounds or strain your ears to hear cow mews, that's where the second cow call comes in, for those I like the primos cow-calf call. In addition to those sounds it also can give general cow-calf talk. You could throw the hoochie mamma into the mix but it's just one more thing to carry, and not absolutely necessary, like the other two.
Of course you can also make all the sounds I mentioned with mouth diaphram reeds, for those sounds I like both primos reeds and Carltons tone trough double reed.

Hope this helps you out!!---elknut1
