    Hope you have good luck with the calls. Can't imagine how cool it would be to call in a bull. Anticipation for going out west is driving me crazy. We have switched our plans to Idaho elk hunt now.

    Still haven't picked up any calls. I still have this vision of getting out in the woods where I know people might be and bugling just to mess with them. (while in Iowa)

    Great magazine. I read it front to back till the next issue comes in.

    Are you DIY this year?

    Good bundle Fitz! Great magazine choice too. Heed every word Paul puts in those DVD's! Guy is a god send. Also, if your looking for any more calls check out the Elk101 Allstar diaphragm and Elk101 Temptress mouth call, both produced by Bugling Bull. Those two are my "go too's"

    I also got the "Worse Than Wolves" DVD. The Playbook is awesome too. It is packed with information that I'm sure will ease the growing pains. If you don't have it I would definitely recommend getting the elknut playbook in addition to what you already have.

    I'll have to look into the playbook. Perhaps I'll talk the old man into getting it :tu:

    Fitz, you will have a ball. Once its in your blood you will never stop. Elknut has a lot of great information. What state are ya hunting?

    Its a bit of work but you'll love it. I have hunted elk before it was cool and I have never stopped. But it helps when you have grown up in elk country. Last year I did my first whitetail hunt and I loved doing it. I'm trying to do it again this year. I just love to bow hunt
