Primos Pack Bugle

[BigPig]

Anyone used this thing with any success? To me it sounds way too high pitched, even for a dinky bull. I can't get much growl out of it. Am I the only one?

That is my feelings to on the pack bugle. I love it for its compact design but it seems high pitched to me also. I also have a power bugle that I love the sound of but it is a lot bigger. I use the pack bugle for short bugles for locates only. nwhunter

The Grunt Tube itself is a good enough tube to use along with a mouth reed. Consider removing the blue snap on reed & go with a mouth diaphragm, the sounds are cleaner & much more realistic. It will then allow you to use grunts, chuckles, screams, pants & huffs & other sounds. You will become a better caller & hunter with great confidence in your calling abilities. You will flat be more realistic! Good Luck!

ElkNut,
I read your post a couple days ago and didn't really understand it, but picked up the pack bugle and 3 different diaphragms along with a hoochie momma call to start practicing for my upcoming hunt. Just for the heck of it I pulled the top part out and just used the tube with a diaphragm, and your 100% right, sounds SOOOOOO much better with a diaphragm and much easier to control!

I do the same thing! Gotta love the size of the tube compressed, and use a mouth reed to make the noise.
I found the original reed to be short lived
