Need new calls. Corey J. and Rocky Mountain Legal Dispute?

[___DAN___]

Looks like Corey is in a legal dispute with Rocky Mountain Calls, a company his parents owned for three decades. Looks like they may be trying to take the Elk101 name that he built from the ground up. Anyone have a update on this? I would think he would create his own calls if he hasn't already. I'm a big fan of these calls. Maybe switching. I hear great things about Phelps.

I still have one of RMHC tubes but haven't used their calls or reeds in years. They changed for me right about the time the company sold. Had good luck with Phelpes, The Maverick in particular.

I use Phelps calls, the AMP frames are great. The maverick as mentioned above has been great for me

Great reminder for me to buy some new calls.

I really like the maverick and the grey one from Phelps

I think phelps left Rocky mountain calls in the dust. My phelps diaphragms just won’t stop working. The RM calls would tear constantly.

Another vote for Phelps. Specifically the Maverick.

I like some Phelps but the one I like the most is the Primos Sonic Dome.

It is incredibly sad to hear there is a legal dispute between Corey and RMHC. I remember learning about Corey and his Dad/RMHC around 5-6 years ago. I always wondered why Corey was not a bigger part of the company. World champion elk caller and your Dad owns a giant elk call company that sells calls in Cabelas and Bass Pro?

Hard to decipher what’s going on, or why his Dad decided to sell the company to outside investors a few years ago. But, what factors could lead to selling the company vs. figuring out a way to get Corey in control? Hard to imagine the company was upside down financially or mismanaged given how widespread the brand is.

Or maybe Rocky just wanted to cash out and retire and Corey wanted to hunt more and not run a call company.

Corey said in his public post about the subject that he intends to sell his own elk call products in the future….so maybe he does want to run an elk call company?

The email I got , he said he wanted to be involved not that he wanted to start or run his own company. Big difference.

Don't know what you got til it's gone.

Lucky that was still an option.

Phelps are good. I still really like the Rocky Mountain blue though, by far my favorite for bugling

I'm pretty sure Corey sold Elk101 several years ago.

HS's Carlton's calls are the ones that work best for me.

Phelps AMP Grey is my go to. I keep a few of them on me during the season and just rotate between them as I wet them out from wandering around with one in my cheek 24/7. Easy to control volume and pitch, can do everything from aggressive peak-rut bugles and chuckles to soft cow mews and calf calls.

This reminds me, I'm down to my last couple. I need to go pick up a few more...

Yeah I remember some sale stuff with elk101 and the extreme elk magazine years ago, but thought he maybe bought elk101 back? Hard to keep track of all issues hunting personalities have with business and sponsors. I guess he could always go back to being an engineer or whatever and hunting for the fun of it?

I’ve been using Phelps for a while and prefer the bright pink one

I just visited elk101 and there is currently a survey on what calls do you use. Hmm makes you wonder??

Remember...

For all those Phelps calls lovers... you're part of the "problem" giving money to MeatEater!

I hold my nose and get what I need. I don’t think me not buying an $8 reed would hurt them anyway.
