Carlton Long Ranger/fighti'n Cow Elk Call Combo

The Carlton Long Ranger/Fightin' Cow Elk Call Combo from Hunters Specialties is a two-call system designed specifically for serious elk hunters pursuing bull and cow elk across varied terrain. This combo approach gives you the versatility to mimic both estrous cow bugles and aggressive bull vocalizations, making it an essential tool during the full rut season. Whether you're glassing open ridges or working timber in pre-dawn darkness, having both calls in your pack eliminates the need to switch between different models mid-hunt.

Each call in the Carlton combo features Hunters Specialties' proven reed design, engineered to produce authentic high-frequency elk vocalizations that cut through wind and brush noise at extended distances. The Long Ranger call delivers high-pitched tones that project across open country, while the Fightin' Cow call produces the softer, responsive cow chirps that trigger aggression and curiosity in rutting bulls. Both calls are lightweight at just 0.1 lbs combined and compact enough to fit in a shirt pocket, allowing quick transitions when response from distant herds requires an immediate vocal answer. The reeds are tuned for consistent tone and responsiveness across all skill levels, from first-time elk callers to seasoned guides.

Elk hunters operating in mountainous or wide-open country will find this combo especially valuable during September and October rut peaks when bulls are actively hunting cows. The pairing works best when combined with proper glassing discipline and wind awareness—calls amplify your location, so positioning downwind of expected bull movement is critical. This system suits hunters pursuing both trophy bulls and management-area cow hunts, making it ideal for anyone planning multiple seasons in elk country or transitioning from deer or antelope calling to high-elevation elk tactics.
