I have heard plenty of nasty sounding calls in the woods that I swore were hunters that turned out to be elk. _________________________ Springer Fever

stlhdr1 BUCK NASTY!! Registered: 01/26/00 Posts: 6312 Loc: Vancouver, WA	Forget about the squeeze type cow calls, they sound horrible and nothing like an actual elk... They are blatantly obvious when you hear one in the woods. It's pretty simple, when hunting you are in their house and you better speak their language... A hootchie mama can work but for the pressured elk, they're worthless... Spend a year or two learning a mouth reed, it will pay dividends...

stlhdr42 Spawner Registered: 10/13/08 Posts: 843 Loc: where the fish swim	As goofy as they do sound an elk was killed in our camp thanks to a hootchie call in a fairly pressured area where a lot of guys were walking around bugling and blowing cow calls. They can work for the guys who can't operate a reed or blow type call. _________________________ Springer Fever
