Bobby, I have often wondered the same thing, How in the (HE--) can a 800-1000lbs. of meat, muscle, and horns go thru trees and brush and in a few seconds just plain dissappear!!!
-20-30 below huh, If I were in your shoes I think I would be nestled up right by the fire with a nice bottle of brandy!!!

I just received elknuts videos, and I am going to try to get better at using the diaghram calls for making cow\calf sounds. I depended on the conventional calls so much that I just hav'nt put much effort in getting the right sounds to come out when using the diaghram calls, right now I sound like a dying bird or something, but i figure by fall, i will be ready. I have always used the diaghram calls just to bugle, but its nice to have the diaghram call ready to use, cause you never know when you may need to call to stop a bull elk, one advantage is that you are hands free and can be at full draw and can still call if needed.
