With the name Slatecall, I would guess you're no stranger to turkey hunting, therefore are probably familiar with mouth diaphrams.

If that's the case, your best bet for both bugling and cow calling would be to start off with something like a single reed style, like the Ivory Plate by Primos, it's great for both bugling and cow calls. with this one call you can make all necessary cow sounds such as, lost--social--distressed--calf--excited--pre-estrus whines, and so on, this is something really tough to do with any other single cow call on the market, it would normally take 3 different ones to accompolish this. Another good call is the Cow Talk call, it's great for adding different sounds along with something simple as the hoochie mama. These calls together will sound like you're a small herd of elk. For great pre-estrus whines the Hyper Lip single works great.---So you're looking at the Cow Talk--Hyper Lip Single and Hoochie Mama, if you're going to scratch one, make it the hoochie mama. The single mouth reed along with the other two will be plenty and sound great!!

For bugles, get youself a simple grunt tube to use with the mouth reed. If you'd like to see these calls, click onto "My Site" at the bottom of this post. ElkNut1-Paul
