I live seeing a review of all these different call companies from the man himself. Knowing the why it had to happen is a huge bummer, but glad to see it's not slowing you down and you're taking the high road corey

[@user-hl4ox2rg8g]

Sorry for my ignorance but what happened?????????????

[@tagsoupelklife6260]

Got a month and 2 weeks till elk season in Oregon can't wait and wanted to say that's to all of you at elk 101 for all the videos to help ......I hope core starts making his own brand of calls or teams up with Phelps.........thanks again

[@tommurphy6972]

great demo Cory, thanks for taking the time to share

[@anthonypope5830]

Thanks Corey! Your recommendations tell me that I am on the right path learning to call elk. Makes me look forward to the season.

[@ArtieManfredi]

Thanks for doing this. Sorry for all you are going through!!

[@jeremiahnewton7103]

Great review!!! Keep em coming!

[@user-yj9ee5mk6l]

Thank you for sharing this we appreciate your information and will be following you closely as you continue to move forward

[@richardtorres3894]

Love all the context you make! Appreciate all the work you put into teaching this craft!

[@eaglecapoutdoors]

Thanks for running through them!!! Our crews will be running the BRO calls this fall in AZ, NM, and OR. Vids will follow.

[@bradwilliams7706]

Corey you are the man. You sound so life like. Keep teaching us . We appreciate all you share and do for us all.

[@jakef1977]

Thanks Corey! I run Phelps calls and really like them for my style. Sorry you had a falling out with your old calls but glad you are demoing other calls!!

[@1977Mappy]

Great content, Cory, thank you for sharing

[@terrywolford7880]

Appreciate your reviews Cory. I’ll be looking to get a few more calls.

[@davidblaisdell4412]

Thank you for the reviews on these calls. Im glad to see my favorite phelps calls on your list. Gray and pink. Ive had some luck with those.

[@WALLOWINGBULLS]

Thanks for the review

[@ChasingRooseveltsOutdoors]

Thanks for sharing Corey. I love trying new calls. I have settled on the BRO reeds and tube for now. I have great control with them and their dome for me specifically since I was born with a cleft pallet. I might try some of these other calls you have mentioned as well. I started with Phelps calls mostly, switched to bro ones once they launched theirs but I still actively try some. Currently before season I’m trying the Glen Berry calls. Anyways I appreciate the video and I hope one works for you or you can develop your own line to kind of continue the legacy!

[@JohnConnell-wz5lg]

Great review, thanks for doing the grunt work. It’s Coming!

[@johncannady6105]

Thank you Corey!

[@chris_hofius]

The grey amp is my go to along with the phelps metal bugle tube. For me I found that combination to produce a very good tone. Excited to see what the future holds. Good luck this fall

[@SDreamsProductions19]

I appreciate you taking the time to do this. An open honest, non biased review of many different companies is incredibly refreshing. Would you have the same recommendations on diaphragms for us mid to low profile folks?

[@robertgeorge4508]

Wapiti River reeds, out of Alberta, Canada. Highly recommended giving them a look - they’re the only reeds I’ll use now.

[@chadmitchell2789]

I burned through 4 September and 2 committed reeds last season love the born and raised calls

[@NimrodOutdoors]

Great info man, really appreciate you doing this video. Sorry for the problems with the previous call company, it stinks to see that kind of stuff going on in this industry but I guess for some its all about the $$ Look forward to see what you come up with next.

[@Hammsolo77]

Thanks for the info sir.

[@WyoElkHntr77]

As you can see your opinion matters Corey! Whatever you got coming up in the future I’m pretty sure you’ll have a large following. I know I’ll continue. You’re good for the industry. Keep it up!

[@gbaughman3348]

This is really good! I like the Phelps Dark Green Amp and the Maverick.

[@JoshuaYarger]

Appreciate you taking the time to do this despite the turmoil going on with rmhc. You’ve always put in and given so much value to those of us who follow you. Keep on Keepin’ on!

[@MrREADYSETFAIL]

Whats going on with rmhc??

[@jakesmith8093]

Corey is the man!

[@kenrentmeister7379]

Love watching the tactics.

[@brianfocht6165]

Great review

[@steven-adamski]

Thanks! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Bdalb5]

I’ve had a lot of trouble with diaphragm calls, not sure why but I get a major gag reflex with them. Phelp’s EZ bugler was a game changer for me. Got tons of bulls responding to me last year with it. If you can’t do diaphragms y’all should check it out!

[@503huntah5]

Music to my ears 🤙🏽

[@shanefredrickson9235]

I use the Pitch Black series and the Maverick diaphragms with the Mile High tube.

[@Elkhunterguy]

How did you modify the slayer tube? Mad props for helping the new guys in the game. Slayer and Mile High Note game calls are such cool people!!

[@darrenthornhill1178]

I've always wanted to hear you yet others' calls and review them. Thanks, very helpful!!

[@kevinp9867]

Sorry to hear about your old call company. Thank you for a video like this. I’m still kinda new to calling. I’ve been using the BRO diagrams. I have a elk tag in Wyoming this year and my 17 year old son is goin with me and is goin to be my caller. My son is learning how to call. He likes your old white elk101 diagram. Any suggestions on a diagram that is similar to that one? Thanks again for all the videos. I’ve learned so much from them.

[@lidocane2378]

Corey, I’d love to hear your opinion on slayers acrylic bugle tube. I purchased the one you recommended last year.

[@richwc1]

Just a little review of my own after watching this video. I'm still a pretty novice caller but I have tried many different reeds but only one tube. After watching the video a few weeks ago I ordered some slayer diaphragm calls and a mile high game notes tube. 1. I still really like to fit of the Rocky mountain GTP calls and love the mello yellow for cow sounds. 2. Slayer emailed my right away asking if I received my order and was happy with them (Great customer service). No complaints I just noticed much more subtle differences in the calls I ordered from them then I do with the calls in the gtp pack. I haven't yet notched these which I've done to all my other calls . 3 I noticed a night and day difference with the mile high game notes tube. It instantly made my bugles sound better. I will keep trying different calls but I had no idea a different tube could make that much difference.

[@wasatchninja6292]

Glad I ordered mine last week before this dropped 🍻

[@codyunderwood6252]

Should check out wapitiriver calls out of Canada hands down one of the best I've used

[@ironbrothersoutdoors9597]

Also curious about the Slayer Acrylic Archangel bugle tube, would love to hear your opinion on it if you tried it? It’s so pricey tho, hard to justify getting one just to try out.

[@tylerzinda6624]

I was just getting ready to buy more calls from you. I'll switch to B&R until you get back.

[@michaelduncan2759]

Mr. Jacobson, what about calls for beginners? I was thinking of Phelps, since you can use an open reed cal with their tube.

[@CJGlenn-ip1tt]

thanks for demoing those - do you recommend putting your diaphragms under running water for a couple seconds after use? and letting them dry of course. Always have wondered if you should do that or just forget about it. THX!!

[@normankaster917]

I hope everything works out in the end for your situation.... That absolutely has to suck

[@josephgish2573]

Did you try any of the Carlton calls? A few of them sound really, really good but they aren’t super easy to use.

[@anotherhunter777]

Did you try Wapiti River Outdoors diaphragm calls, from Alberta?

[@tysonzabot6380]

Have you tried the riven wooden bugle tube yet

[@ElevatedTines]

Did you get a chance to try wapiti river outdoors reeds?! Out of AB

[@JAG2393]

Have you tried the elk bros reeds?

[@jeffsettle7457]

I think you should give Wapiti River a try.

[@deanrobbins397]

I was a RMHC fan with your champ (orange) call. Ordered 2 more replacements and they must have changed something because ots not the same. What Phelps call would you recommend equivalent to try?

[@gmino8038]

Forgot to try Rocky Mountain calls. No more discount code?😂

[@eppiclife]

so... what is the name of the tube from Mountain High? Most of their stuff looks the same, but I am interested LOL

[@patrickscheel3943]

I'm curious to see if you've tried the power bugle tube out before? You don't have to use their mouthpiece and it sounds a ton more realistic to me

[@warren3665]

One of the oldest tubes out there, I’m sure he’s tried it.

[@rogershirt115]

September an come Soon enough

[@afidbhawkins3173]

Yup boycotting rm calls going bro. Lol

[@-n_hunter8403]

Born n Raised diaphragm sounded best...just my opinion

[@kenwiltsie6920]

They don’t give you the diaphragm’s?

[@roberthumphries5678]

Have to laugh a lot watching this, the elk calling master saying “this one is easy to use”. Of course they are because you are the master caller. Even when you tried to teach me at the Elk Summit you make it look so easy. Sorry you have to go through all you are with this.

[@kickeramps]

Maybe it's just me but they all sound exactly the same.

[@bentoncushing8693]

Bulls quit talking in my favorite places,,,,wolves have them scared...talking means getting eaten
