2023 Elk Bugle Grunt Tube Challenge

[@gregbetts9568]

#3 and #5 or #6 as a second choice. It was difficult to determine to break point between bugle tube changes. More than likely, it’s my hearing!

Thanks for voting, Greg! They were pretty darn close this year.

I’m going with 5. My earbuds couldn’t hear the lows which usually is what I judge from. Thanks Michael!

I was at a different angle this time and I think that may have hit the microphone differently.

Listening to the different Grunt Tubes I like how 2, 3, and 6 sounded. I thought 3 had a deeper Growl to it which I liked. I am thinking 3 or 6. I probably would go with 6 presently. I will have to listen again on a different day and see if I still feel the same.

Thank you for voting! I keep going back and forth each time I listen to it.

2 and 5 seemed to optimize the reed that you were using best with.

Thanks, Sandy!

I put on headphones and honestly couldn’t tell any difference. Sorry If I would get the one that called the most elk in. 😂

[@ElkCallingAcademy]

It's hard to hear the subtle differences. Listen for the bottom end and also for the note changes.

Personally think you should ditch that reed and go back to the others you've used . My ears were not impressed.
