[@MrWetrek]

This is classic stuff.

[@troywesterbur706]

This is great. But man it makes me feel old. It truly is amazing how far calls have come in a short time. I pulled out some of my old calls the other day and have decided I really need to upgrade. But I called in 5 bulls to a cow call. Ok they were trapped in a fence and thought maybe I knew how to get out. They looked at me for about 5 minutes trying to figure out if i was a cow or going to open the gate im not sure which. Either way it was fun.

[@dustinhazen7554]

I grew up blowing Larry d Jones first elk bugle and hearing my dad call in multiple bulls with it. Still have my dads from the 1980’s.

[@What1see]

Wow..
