Brad, I think you have a good idea with trying a new type call. once is a while, I try to appeal to an elk\'s curiosity by sounding like a small lonesome bull in its bed. It can work. Mostly I have gone 90%+ to the tree stand. There are places where calling works well, and places where it is much tougher.
Much of the point I have been trying to make is that there are some things we know, and some we are left to speculate on. Elk in different areas, react differently. There is no one size fits all for everyplace. You, Troy of Glacier Country Hunting Calls, WW, John F., and others know calling as much as anyone hunting elk. You guys are still honing your skills and adapting to the ever changing situation you find. So, whenever \"some know it all\" tells you this is how it will work in your situation, take it with a grain of salt. These folks have become too much of a legend in their own mind.
