Top 3 Elk Calls To Master

While hanging out with Dirk Durham of Phelps Game Calls, we asked for a rundown on the three calls that he finds most important to have in your arsenal while out on an elk hunt. On top of the types of calls, Dirk also walks us through the scenarios in which these calls can be effective. Tune in and take your calling to the next level!

Great video Dirk does a great job breaking it down and keeping it simple and practical. Thanks Dirk, rally enjoyed this series of videos you did with the Go Hunt guys.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Dirk - No butt scratching! 🤣

It’s a thing 😂😂😂

[@user-hl4ox2rg8g]

WOW great stuff from Dirk! but I got 4 words Paul "Elk Nut" medel! Best in the business on how, when, why and where to call Elk!

[@curetiamhices289]

Thanks for the great video and tips. Bought a call like that earlier this year and have been practicing. I found the grunts and chuckles are a lot easier and sound great. I had been using bugles with the latex strip over the mouthpiece. We’re heading to NW Colorado August 31st and opening day is September 2nd. This will be my 19th archery elk hunt. Really excited.

[@GOHUNT]

Good luck!

[@michaeltubbs2493]

Great video Thanks for the info thank you for sharing

[@GOHUNT]

Thanks for watching!

[@L.W.C_4]

thanks

[@steven_farmer89]

Great video, but I feel like the audio is pretty low; I guess it makes sense cause the calling is louder than he is talking and don't need to blow out anyone's ear drums.

[@GOHUNT]

We definitely didn't want to blow out anyone's eardrums during the calling. But we hear you on the audio being low. We will working on fixing that for our next videos.

[@jero1918]

Thanx

[@GOHUNT]

Thanks for watching!

[@user-eg8hb8xt3j]

I’ve bulged in every elk I’ve shot . Last year was number 13. I found the key is learning to hear what that bull is saying . If he’s got cows coming into estrus or in estrus he’s going to answer very aggressive as he has something to defend . This is the bull to challenge . If no cows in heat , he will still talk to you but won’t come to you unless you convince him that you have a cow in heat or , sit and cow call every hour . Once his cows bed he might come check you out.. nothing better than taking a calm bull and turning him into a savage

[@SilverGrizzly]

This dude’s good.

[@kevinlacayo822]

I can do the same sound with those plastic long straws.

[@MDFH69]

I shot a cow elk this past weekend, went to same property yesterday and saw a big 5x5 bull just off the property I hunt on private land, doing my research to call that bull over to the crown property 🤞🏽

[@kbeking2610]

What about calls for early archery? We open Aug 19th this year.

[@patrickdolan776]

Thanks for the tips; can you share which bugle tube is being used in the video? Is it the Phelps "Unleashed" or "Metal" Bugle Tube?

[@GOHUNT]

Hi Patrick! Here is the link to the tube: shop.gohunt.com/products/metal-bugle-tube?_pos=1&_sid=4d374231a&_ss=r

[@bradbrower4348]

what is the best route for a beginner? which one should i purchase? going to colorado 2nd rifle. Thanks

[@trailkreitzer9163]

Hi there, it's likely that by that second rifle season that the bulls will have pulled away from the cows and calling will be relatively ineffective. You could carry a cow call or a bugle to try as a locator call. For a beginner I would recommend the Phelps EZ'Sukr or the Phelps EZEstrus cow calls. Both of those are external reed (bite and blow) type calls and very effective and easy to use. For a bugle, the Phelps metal bugle tube sounds great and you can use that with the external reed or a diaphragm call like the Phelps Maverick, or the several AMP calls. If you want to continue to hunt and call elk, I might suggest buying several diaphragm calls and practicing to find the one that works best for you. I really like the Phelps Maverick, Pitch Black Series, and the grey and orange calls. Hope that helps some, all the best and good luck!

[@overnightavenger1470]

What calls would you bring and use during a early November hunt

[@trailkreitzer9163]

Hi there, calling seems to be relatively ineffective in November. You could carry a cow call and or bugle to perhaps try as a locater call, but for the most part, calling a bull in is rare on those late season hunts. I've heard elk bugle in Nov, but I can't say I personally know anyone that calls bulls in that late in the season.

I've heard elk bugle worse than me.

[@noahwhitehawk3405]

What mouth reed is that?..

[@Elkhunterguy]

Elk aren't fighters they are lovers!! That's why the bull takes his cows and run....

[@Sharkdog11b]

Crank it up to hear you talk then blow my eardrums when you call let’s get some professional auto boys. Great knowledge tho I appreciate ya.
