Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed as an intermediate call, so it may not be the best fit for hunters looking for a very specialized or highly tuned option.
  • The thicker black latex is intended for harder pressure and louder, more aggressive sounds, which may be more than needed in quieter calling situations.
  • Its strength is a broad range of elk sounds, but that also means it is a general-purpose option rather than a single-purpose call.
  • Performance depends on the caller’s technique and pressure control, especially when trying to produce mature cow sounds or big bugles.
