Well scope...i'll start this off.
I'm from the school of cant call too much. But i dont use just one call, i've got 6 different calls now, i think. and i use them alternatively, just so as it sounds like more than 3 elk. I use them all day, too.
I've had them so long i dont know what they are called. I know i have a lead cow, a lost calf and the rest are different sounding cow calls. Its a ton of fun learning how to use all the different calls too! Do not settle for ONE call, unless you really enjoy mediocre success.

I like primose and woods wise if you practice you can make great cows sounds with any diaphram. the bugel that I carry is a power bugel it is very easy to use and you can make all bull sounds and coyot sounds. sometimes the bulls wont respond to a bugel but will respond to a howl. any calls that you like and practice with so that you can make the right sounds will work.

I too am a multiple call guy. I don't know a good caller that uses only "one" call. I'm with browtine on the Mossback Widowmaker call. I used it a lot last fall for the first time and it brought in the bulls like crazy. I use the primos reads as well as their hyper lip series calls.
It's always an adventure!!!

I like to use a few different calls to keep things different. I really like Rockie Jacobsens calls from Bugling Bull Calls. The who's yrr daddy is an awesome cow call and user friendly. nwhunter

Can't have to many calls. I mostly use reed type calls w/ a grunt tube. IMO ABE & SONS is the best tube I have ever owned.
Primos Hyper Hot is a good cow call.

Without a doubt, the Bugle!! Get a good sounding grunt tube & mouth calls that fit you well & that you have mastered. Bugle for location then do not call again until you are within 75yds of the herd bull, his cows, or both,preferably in cover, once there & setup where he must come & see this bull & not from a distance, hammer him good with sounds where you're calling his cows from him. If he hangs up more than 30seconds then use some distress cow sounds with stomping thrashing around & guttural groans & growls as he's painting a picture in the bulls eyes he's trying to steal this cow & she is resisting his attempts! You'd better have an arrow nocked & nerves of steel, yet a calm demeanor or nature about yourself because it's going to get close & personal real quick! (grin)
