[@ryanovitt155]

Learned a ton from this. Great content.

[@dailyswithdave]

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

[@brycelamping5176]

P.s I just bought that new bugle

[@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]

😂

[@corptusion]

Good little video

[@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.

[@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 !!

[@drewr9862]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🫡

[@retireddiyguy]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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?

[@derikdrinkle2084]

Learning from the best. Great job guys 👏.

[@sauceboss4162]

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

[@jacobflentge9193]

Love this

[@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

[@randiroberds6365]

Dirks beat box starter kit?

[@gethushin]

Pretty much...multi-talented guy!
