Master elk language with a kit built to cover every phase of the season. The Wayne Carlton’s Calls Alumni Pack delivers four purpose-tuned diaphragm elk calls—Brown, Blue, Red, and Gray—so you can produce everything from soft calf chirps and lost cow mews to demanding location bugles and aggressive challenge screams. Whether you’re brand new to mouth calls or refining advanced cadence and back-pressure control, this pack gives you the tonal range and durability to sound like a real herd—day after day, basin after basin.

Why the Alumni Pack Stands Out

• Four Distinct Reeds, One Complete System: Each color corresponds to a slightly different latex tension and cut, letting you hit cow/calf vocalizations, estrus whines, location bugles, and challenge bugles with believable pitch and rasp.

• Wayne Carlton Tuning: Decades of elk-calling know-how in every reed—built to make realistic sounds easier to learn and faster to reproduce in the field.

• Comfortable Frames: Ergonomic tape and frame design help create a reliable seal for clean notes, less air loss, and consistent tone—critical on cold, high-elevation mornings.

• All-Season Versatility: From early-season mews and chirps to peak-rut estrus talk and dominant bugles, you’ll have a call tailored to the day’s mood and pressure.

• Packable & Quiet: Slip a couple colors into your bino harness or chest pocket for hands-free, whisper-quiet operation when bulls are inside bow range.

What Each Color Excels At (General Guide)

• Brown: Smooth, forgiving reed for soft cow mews, calf chirps, and close-range finishing sounds.

• Blue: Balanced all-arounder—lost cow, contact mews, and moderate location bugles with clean top-end notes.

• Red: Adds rasp and edge for estrus whines and excited herd talk; great when you need urgency and emotion.

• Gray: Firmer tension for high-carry location bugles and challenge screams that cut wind and distance.

(Every caller is different; try each reed to match your air pressure, palate shape, and preferred tone.)

Season Playbook: How to Put the Pack to Work

• Early Season (Scouting & Patterning): Start with Brown or Blue for soft contact mews every 15–20 minutes near water, benches, and edges.

• Pre-Rut: Add Red for estrus-style whines and excited cow talk—layer with light raking and foot shuffles.

• Peak Rut: Pair Gray with a bugle tube for location bugles at first light; when a bull responds, escalate to short challenge screams, then switch to Red/Brown for herd talk as he closes.

• Post-Rut/Late Season: Go subtle again—Brown/Blue for quiet mews in timber pockets and bedding cover.

Pro Tip: Elk hunt the wind. Set up with a crosswind that forces a circling bull into your shooting lane. Begin quiet, then build intensity only as needed.

Fit, Seal & Sound—Fast Start Guide

1. Seat the Call: Dome side up (if domed), latex facing your tongue.

2. Find the Seal: Press the tape gently to your palate and corners of your mouth.

3. Airflow: Start with light air for mews; increase pressure and tongue tension for higher notes and bugles.

4. Cadence: Think elk conversation—3–5 mews, pause, then 1–2 chirps; avoid machine-gun calling.

5. Bugle Work: Use Gray (or Blue/Red if you prefer) with a tube for location calls; add growl and lip-ball for a more dominant challenge.

Maintenance & Care

• Rinse & Dry: After hunts, rinse with cool water, shake off, and air-dry.

• Protect the Latex: Store in a vented case out of heat and direct sun to preserve tension and tone.

• Rotate Reeds: Alternate colors during long days to reduce moisture build-up and keep notes crisp.

• Off-Season: Refrigerate or keep in a cool, dark place to extend reed life.

Who It’s For

• New Callers: Learn fast with multiple tensions and cuts to find your ideal fit and airflow.

• Intermediate Hunters: Expand your tonal palette—match call to mood, distance, and pressure.

• Public-Land DIY: Lightweight, hands-free calling for mobile, run-and-gun strategies.

• Partners/Teams: Split colors between callers to create realistic herd dynamics and layered audio scenes.

Ethics & Safety

• Follow all local wildlife and season regulations regarding calling.

• Respect other hunters; avoid calling into active setups you didn’t start.

• Always confirm your target and what’s beyond it.
