Was wondering if anyone has ever used an elk bugle as a locator call to get toms to shock gobble?
I am wicked good at doing a three notes of an elk bugle and are going to for this year try out the longest highest pitched part of the elk bugle as a shock gobble locator call for trying to find mid to late morning Toms.
A elk call using a section of pool filter hose as an amplifier as I do, is loud in the extreme, and can carry a LONG LONG way.

Any loud noise will work, slapping 2 sticks together will work as good as anything.

Wayne Carlton used it in some of the old HS Videos... Imo he is the greatest turkey hunter to ever walk the planet..
I would assume he was the first to ever try it as he was a trendsetter and alot of the calling and tactics you use in the spring woods is a result of his innovative thoughts and observations

A shock gobble is just that, a shock gobble. Any loud noise may work, I just don't want to carry a bugle tube around.
As far as wicked good, I don't think the turkeys care.

Lol I took my elk bugle to Missouri two weeks ago.
Gave a few bugles hoping to get a response. I could not hear as I was bugeling. But two days later a guy stopped in camp, asked if we had seen any elk. Mentioned he had heard a bull rip off three bugles….

That's how rumors get started!!
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?
