So I just started calling two weeks ago I got the mistress diaphram which I am starting to get som real good cow calls from. I also got the Phelps amp white call and can get some deeper noises out of. Still to early to tell which one will work best for me I will probably look over this post to find my next ones to try.
I drew my first archery tag this year. Hunted my home state mostly alone for 17 hard hot days. No Elk but I will never quit. I tried many calls and the Contender with the Bully Bull tub became my go to. I love the range of sounds I can get out of that call.
My 2 that I have confidence in to take to the field are the champ and all star. Last summer I picked up every diaphragm I could find. Hope the wife never finds out.... expensive suckers. This year I am not sure what I will do. I had all my top teeth removed on the first of April. I am still healing up. I tried to use my all star the other day with my denture... not going to happen.
I am liking the Rocky Mountain TST Rockstar. For me, with the rockstar, it is easier to hold and even adjust the high pitch with a smooth tone or with a raspy growl when I want.The Elk 101 lessons was the only way I would have figured out how it is done and how it should sound. :train:
