HOW TO CALL ELK | LESSONS FROM A CHAMPION

[@gethushin]

We had a good time learning from one of the best, Dirk Durham "The Bugler" Hopefully you all enjoyed the various tips and tricks Dirk shares with us today and you're able to put a few to use this fall!

[@Therezlife360]

Thanks fella's for the true wealth (knowledge)

[@Therezlife360]

Dirk is full of knowledge but his analogies are second to none!!!

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

I had a blast hanging with you guys. Let’s do it again sometime 🙌🏼

[@Zaeiouy_dB]

That was Awesome

[@retireddiyguy]

This is probably the most complete bugle class I have seen. Good job on this video.

[@thelittleguy-ih8nv]

As a colorado native, I must not need your assistance. Called in 5 bulls and 9 hunters just opening week. 3 hunters were with my cow calls. Hahaha love seeing the disappointment on their face. I also like to call them into the worst down fall I can. Good times, great entertainment!

[@MTbiggun]

Thanks for the information, always a good refresher every year.

[@johnh1464]

all while chewing gum- well done Dirk!

[@greggaston6906]

The best thing about Dirk is he is hilarious %60 of the time all the time! Dirk has fun and that is pretty cool that he can good around A LOT but be a serial elk killer at the same time! Glad Phelps hired him so we get to see him a LOT more than just his previous cameos!

[@gethushin]

We agree, we want to see more of dirk on all these platforms! 👊🏻

[@michaelroberts3731]

Probably the best and most encompassing video on calling elk and elk behavior I have have watched. Thanks Team Hushin for this one!

[@gethushin]

Thank you! We appreciate it!

[@beckhamcarterrr17]

Dirk is a wealth of knowledge and makes it look and sound easy. Glad you enjoyed it. I know we sure did.

[@alecrobertson2283]

[@imjamn5]

Learned something new re watching the video. I am sure I will learn something new every time. Thank you Hush team for the opportunity to learn!

[@brycelamping5176]

Wow thanks Dirk and hush for this

[@jinxster9704]

Thanks Dirk and the Hushin team for the tips and tricks!

[@dailyswithdave]

Great video... went over A LOT for a beginner. I have a year to practice. Practice every day right now.

[@corptusion]

Good little video

[@gooberdooberwunderb]

I’m a first timer I just picked up archery hunting at 50 years old, I have two bucks under my belt…… I am thinking about going for an elk… Do elk only bugle during the rut?

[@ryanovitt155]

Learned a ton from this. Great content.

[@derikdrinkle2084]

Learning from the best. Great job guys 👏.

[@ericwiitala5407]

Great info! Good to see Dirk. I'm saving this video. Already started practicing. 👍

[@drewr9862]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🫡

[@jacobflentge9193]

Love this

[@brycelamping5176]

P.s I just bought that new bugle

[@sauceboss4162]

The men sounds like an actual elk.At this point he should be out in the rut trolling bulls.

[@beavercbearing4237]

I don’t know about that shirt Dirk.. Trents going to get jealous and ask you “ so who’s Phelps?”!! 😆just playing. Awesome calls and info man 👊🏽 Don’t tell Trent I said that! Born and Raised are awesome too 😁

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

😂

[@flueckigerthomas66]

how many times did you "call" another hunter???in hope it is a elk? hehe just asking...

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

Much too often.

[@jakeboss2653]

I've always wondered, even though turkey diaphragm calls aren't designed to be used this way, could they be used with the tube for elk calling? Maybe in a pinch type of situation?

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

The first diaphragms used for calling elk were actually turkey calls. That being said, the latex doesn’t respond real well to elk calling, but isn’t totally out of the question.

[@randiroberds6365]

Dirks beat box starter kit?

[@gethushin]

Pretty much...multi-talented guy!

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

😂😂😂

[@taggartjenkins7590]

Whenever I try to hit the high note it goes quiet or distorts or gets stuck at a lower note

[@jacknelson156]

Push harder w tongue and try different air pressures from diaphragm 👍

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

Tongue pressure and air pressure could help in your scenario, but it sounds like you have played with that a lot. You may want to experiment with a few different diaphragms. Not to sound like a sales pitch, but the new Hush diaphragms hit that high note really well. They have a very tight stretch that lends to higher pitched calling

[@ksdueckforming218]

Diaphragm positioning. Try to slide it forward

[@rayestrada5195]

I'll bet he has used a blade of grass Be careful out there I don't sound that good and been so rounded by doods ready to shoot through the brush and even an elk ready to mowe me down

[@gethushin]

I believe he's called in a few 😂

[@Bobb1julie]

A fantastic toutorial guys. At 87 I’m learning a lot . So much in fact that the local police 👮‍♀️ have come to my house with their blue lights flashing asking me if l’m ok..So I’m up to my club practicing and the volume across the water 💦 is loud . I’m psyched with my external tube …Thank you!! A new knee coming up this fall and I’ll be good to go for 2022..It’s a long ways from the flatlands of Massachusetts to the mountains of Colorado. Hushin and BRO are the best ..Oh !!!I I almost forgot Dirk ..YOU ARE THE BEST !!
