    ^^^^^ Ironic you say that.
    A few years back, we had a bull that was in the thick stuff/ laying in a wallow we knew was in there.
    He would only respond to the "wood flute" my dad still likes to carry around with him, for those "what the heck times".
    Who knows, might be the "high pitch" that they like?

    With the way the grizzly bears come in to my elk calls these days, bugling from the pickup is the only safe spot on the mountain!

    I wish I could make diaphragm calls work. I've tried and tried and tried and the best I can do is gag till I puke. My dentist hates me, he damn near has to medicate me to get past the gag reflex. I can't even use the Primos blue reed calls very well and all my hunting buddies laugh their asses off

    First off, good thing you ain't a chick!

    You could try the bugles from Buglin Bulls.
    They sort are a "hybrid" between reed calls (as the insert piece is similar to the diaphragm).
    The mouthpiece portion has a piece that your "bite on" to apply pressure to the reed to make different nots.
    Sounds pretty damn good, and might be the best one for you, considering your issues

    rummaging around in my buddy's Dad's gear room last week looking for something, I came across one of those fluting thin "bugles" - Blew on it and had a chuckle, what a piece of junk
