Kinda hard to beat the Phelps signature amp diaphragm. I’ve had a lot of conversations with bulls using that call.

Right now I like the Maverick, but I don't know about "the rest of your life part".

Phelps amp fits me best so far, I'm not very experienced though.

I'm not very experienced, but the Phelps amp series is my favorite. I really like the maverick for bugling. the black makes some really good cow calls.

Mellow yellow and the raging bull (brown one).
I just looked on buglingbull.com. I dont like the contender, doesn’t fit right. The two I like are medium profile, the contender is high profile. Good to know! Glad they put that chart on there!

It was the mistress and it changed to the champ Rocky Mountain elk calls, this call does it all subtle cow mews and high pitched bull sequence

Amp, black. Hands down for me. I keep trying others but i always come back to it.


You can’t cheat the mountain

Last year it was a Carlton's, the year before it was a Phelps. The year before that it was a bugling bull. This year it's a Native. I guess my favorite is always the one I'm using this elk season.

The Phelps pitch black 2 works best for me.

I like any of the small size Rocky Mountain diaphragm calls. They work the best for me.

Phelps pink or maverick

Rocky Mountain "Elk Camp". Easier to learn and more consistent sound for me (beginner). Good at soft to medium volume. It will blow out on a loud bugle. I prefer the "Royal Point" for windy days or to reach out a long way. All these are medium profile. The Champ and All Star were too high of a profile for me. Didn't fit good and air was passing around the tape. Phelps Maverick is also good, similar size/fit.

Phelps pink is my favorite so far. Very easy to get good sounds out of for me. I bought one from him personally at the expo last year and had him and Dirk sign my bugle tube. (I’m kind of a nerd like that)

Carlton's "Herd Bull" Brown Triple and also the 2.5.

Phelps Amp Grey for me

What makes the Phelps so popular?
