Overview
Built for hunters who want a diaphragm call with a more controlled feel, this elk call is designed to support cow calls and aggressive bugles in the field. It uses a double-latex setup with a special notch cut in the latex, and the Palate Plate design places the call farther forward in the mouth to help reduce gagging and improve control. The result is a practical option for callers who prefer a mouth call that sits differently than a standard diaphragm and is intended for active elk hunting situations.
