Overview
Built for elk calling, this bugle tube is designed to help hunters produce a range of elk sounds with less air and more control. Its V.E.T.T. system is intended to support volume, steady high notes, and raspy low growls, while the smaller mouth opening and tapered lip adapter make it easier to work with a diaphragm call. At less than 18 inches long, it packs easily for backcountry hunts, and the internal vibration dampener is aimed at enriching deeper tones and reducing plastic vibration. The Elk Camo finish adds a practical concealment look without changing the call’s purpose.
