In my personal experience, two combined > bugle > cow call. Also, one doesn’t need to be the best caller in the world with either.
I have called in 3 bulls in three outings between 2:30 and 4:30. Some take 20 min some take an hour or more. All depends on the temperature of the bull you are calling to. The biggest thing to remember is your trying to create a scenario that is realistic to get him emotionally ready to respond by coming to you. Either to fight OR just to sent check the " new cow" in his area. Try to set up the scenario where you are in a realistic display/" conversation" between a cow IE hot cow and a bull. This is a regular scenario Elk know well and hear often. IT WORKS.
