Summary: <br> This week’s Wapiti Wednesday I am joined by Charlie Smith of Phelps Game Calls. Charlie is Another one of those guys that fly’s under the radar but is more than qualified to talk elk calling and chasing big bulls. You just about have to pry it out of him but once I get Charlie talking there is a ton of knowledge to pull from. Charlie is a hell of a good caller and spends most of his time playing ultra-aggressive and challenging bulls to a fight. Once you get Charlie to open up he is pretty darn funny and we always have a great time. Also, Check out the Elkoholics video that we did, Charlie might have the funniest interview in the video.<br> This episode brought to you by <a href="http://www.backcountryfuelbox.com">Backcountry Fuel Box</a>.

Phelps game calls are consistent which is one thing I drive me nuts about other calls. Jason Phelps the owner is an amazing elk caller for one, but more importantly he a brilliant engineer, and obsessive about quality, which makes his calls consistent and super high quality. If you haven’t been able to use a diaphragm call before, first off you need to learn, and second buy yourself a few amp frames to learn on these are far and away the easiest calls to learn on. I don’t care what anyone says being able to call will make you a better hunter. doesn’t mean you gotta call all the time, but having the ability can mean the difference in a week-long hiking trip and eating elk steaks all winter. I prefer the ladder. <a href="http://www.phelpsgamecalls.com">Phelps Game Calls</a> are finally in stock again, but you better order fast because last year they sold out of a lot of reeds before the season.
