I use our Hyper Lip Single, an open reed call, to blow a wavy, high-pitched NAAAaaa, NAAAaaa. It s the most urgent sound a cow can make, like when she s coming into estrus. It often drives a big bull crazy. After floating his first calls, Primos reads a bull and plays the game. Each situation and each bull is different, he says.
Some elk respond best to lots of cow calling and bugling.
Others prefer softer and more sporadic calls. Just be patient, listen, read each elk and give him what he wants. The EdersHunting catalog has lots to offer hunters by way of elk calls, calling tapes and all the equipment you'll need for a bullish trip to the west.
