RE: getting into elk hunting
I too love the Hoochie Mama, however, you might want to mix it up with another call. I hate to advocate buying 900 different calls, which the advertisers seem to think is the only way to go. But the Hoochie Mama is so perfectly consistent in tone that you sound like a broken record with it after a while. If you have another call to mix into your sequences you can break the Hoochie monotony. (I use my own voice call with the Hoochie.)
