With this whistle an operating call is an air release finger tip control to give a variable adjustment in lowering designed pitch at the concluslon of your call by removing your finger from the release. Other calls require cupped hand over end to do. these variations, which is tremendously difficult procedure, some calls also try to simulate calls by curling the tube or fle~ing which is also difficult, other calls too long and cumbersome to handle and inconvenient to carry. The Grunt call sound call requires tremendous effect in blowing.

The Scott Handcrafted Call not only gets attention of Spike bulls, but Herd bulls respond basically in natures way of showing supremacy to the Harem of females under his control. This type of call meets all requirements for hunters to locate Elk, during ~2~
rutting season and is an astonishing accurate call in getting response.
