Overview

Built for elk hunters who want a single call that can cover a wide range of vocalizations, this bugle tube is designed for everything from high-pitched screams and challenges to display and location bugles. The call uses the V.E.T.T. Calling System to help create easier note changes, while the chamber and mouth-end design are intended to support deeper, raspier chuckles, growls, and grunts. It also includes a camo cover, lanyard, and an optional mouthpiece enlargement ring, giving hunters a compact setup that is easier to carry in the mountains. The rubber-coated end is a practical touch that helps reduce plastic vibration sounds, though the call still depends on proper technique and air control.

Considerations & Trade-offs

The 20" length is built for packing convenience, which can be useful in the mountains but may feel less compact than smaller calls in a vest or pack pocket.
The V.E.T.T. system and mouthpiece enlargment ring add flexibility, but they also introduce more setup and adjustment than a simple one-piece grunt tube.
This call is designed around a 1" mouth opening, with an optional 1 1/2" opening using the included ring, so the feel and airflow may differ depending on which configuration you choose.
The included camo cover and lanyard are practical additions, but they do not change the call’s core function or replace the need for practiced calling technique.
