RE: Elk calls
 

look into the hootchie mama for ease and versatility and a primos terminator for a bugle

RE: Elk calls
 

ya lots of people here use the hoochie mama including me and it works great. I used it 2 eevenings hunting this fall and called 2 bulls in each night with it. As for a bugle i use the power bugle with a young bull band on it. Not really the most high tech and expensive call out there but my buddy and i both use one and we really like them.

I use up to 4 calls during a hunt. For ease of use the Hoochie Mama is GREAT. The Terminator kit from Primos is also very good. You know what they say Practice makes Perfect!

I'm not a fan of the hoochie mama, also does'nt have the range. My old faithful is the "HYPER HOt, great call, and also has some range when calling. I've taken 7 bulls in the last 8 years of bowhunting. This is the only call you will need. I'm also not big on bugling unless you are hunting in some remote country or off the beaten path, as you tend to call in other hunters. Whatever calls you go with, good luck and lots of practice. :D
