Wayne Carlton’s Calls Whispering Cow Call is designed for elk hunters who know that subtlety can be the difference between a distant bugle and a close-range shot opportunity. This open-reed cow call produces ultra-realistic cow and calf sounds that help you finish wary bulls, coax satellite bulls, or calm a herd that’s on edge. Crafted with a natural walnut/maple body and tuned for authenticity, it’s a go-to elk call for serious Western hunters.
Realistic Cow and Calf Sounds to Draw in Elk
The Whispering Cow Call is built specifically to mimic the soft, emotional tones elk respond to most:
These sounds help you build trust with pressured elk, especially in areas where loud, aggressive calling has educated the herd. Instead of blowing out the basin with volume, you can work bulls at close quarters with believable, low-impact vocalizations.
Open Reed Design for Versatile Elk Vocalizations
This call features an open-reed design, giving you fine control over pitch, tone, and volume. With a little practice, you can:
Slide from soft calf talk to full cow mews
Add emotion by changing air pressure and lip position
Run subtle “whispering” cow sequences that sound like real elk at 30–50 yards
Because it’s an open call, you’re not locked into one single sound—you get versatility in the field, allowing you to adjust to how elk are responding on any given day.
Natural Walnut/Maple Construction for Warm, Rich Tone
The body of Wayne Carlton’s Whispering Cow Call (70168) is made from natural walnut and maple, which not only looks great on a lanyard but also contributes to a warm, rich, organic tone:
