[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2587204, member: 115819"] Curious what people use for diaphragm calls and why. Does it come down to spending fifty bucks on a pile of them to find the one that suits you the best? I tried one beginner call last year and just could not get it to be reliable for me the way i could with turkey calls. As a former woodwind player maybe I'm just automatically past beginner status and need something heavier duty. Or maybe I'm just using it wrong. Also I'm curious about what, if any calling people do when hunting through the timber. What little cow calling I did last year taught me a little and got some responses from cows and different wildlife, but I don't know what to expect if anything from immature bulls. I've read a little here and there about lonely youngsters coming in hoping to find someone to hang out with, is there any truth to that? Is it worth learning to bugle at all outside of the rut? I heard some very early in bow season, one guy I knew stalked a bugling raghorn before labor day. During the spike rifle hunt there was still a fair amount of bugling, late october. I know I certainly won't be joining the hordes of guys tooting away like it's a mardi gras parade in every meadow and hilltop like I encountered last year, but is it worth even worrying about for my second year out? I guess I just wonder if it's worth making any noise part of your routine when still hunting. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
