My buddy and I drove to the end of an Idaho dirt road, parked the charger, got out, and bugled.

The first two challenges went unanswered, but my buddy switched to a wimpy bugle and a bull sounded off 300 yards away. We bugled several more times to pinpoint the location, but the herd bull would only answer the wimpiest sound. This was public land and late in the season, a testament to how important a bugle tube with varying sounds can be.

The Rowdy Bull Elk tube makes a variety of sounds and is quite versatile.

Hunter’s Specialties and Wayne Carlton have joined forces to create a great bugle tube with versatile sounds, which is very important in an era of high hunting pressure. You could bring in a bull that’s fighting mad, but equally important is to make it bugle so you can begin a silent stalk. Here’s the information on this new release.

The new Rowdy Bull Call from Wayne Carlton’s Calls is an easy-to-blow open reed call that features the new Tone Trough diaphragm technology for a variety of bull elk sounds. Hunters can sound like a young or old bull to challenge other bulls.

The Rowdy Bull Call includes a single reed Tone Trough diaphragm with bugle tube and lanyard. A Rowdy Bunch replacement reed kit is available that contains double, 2.5 and triple reed diaphragms along with two extra Tone Troughs, allowing hunters to quickly and easily change the call for different sounds.

The Rowdy Bull Call sells for a suggested retail of $29.99, and the Rowdy Bunch replacement reed kit for $11.99.
