Novice ... Bulge Tubes, are they any different?

[philcox]

I was looking at the new BT from Elk 101 on the Peax site. Then I thought "is it really any different than my current Rocky Mountain Wapiti Whacker Bully Bull Extreme? Was wondering of I should spend the $ on calls, because the tubes are really mostly the same, or if tubes really make a difference. Any insight is appreciated?

If there is a difference, I'd be curious as to thoughts on the ElkBros Soloist and the Elk 101 (very different formats).

Honestly, no if you are using a diaphragm call, an old cut whiffle ball bat works just as good as a $100 name brand bugle tube.
Honestly I don’t even bugle anymore in CO on public land unless I have to or am having fun.

It’s a marketing scheme the same as camo

This is not surprising to me, and what I viscerally think. Appreciate the input.

For the vast majority of callers it does not matter what you use, it is still is crappy and make no difference.
