The Primos 944 Hoochie Pak delivers authentic cow and calf elk vocalizations through its proven open reed design. This compact call produces the subtle mews, chirps, and contact sounds that bring curious elk within range during archery and rifle seasons.
What Makes This Different
Unlike diaphragm calls that require mouth positioning practice, the Hoochie Pak's external reed system allows hunters to produce consistent elk sounds immediately. The open reed construction creates natural pitch variations that mimic real cow elk communication patterns. This call excels at close-range situations where subtle vocalizations outperform aggressive bugling.

Field performance centers on the call's ability to create convincing cow elk sounds at close range. Hunters report success using soft mewing sequences to stop moving elk for shot opportunities. The call works particularly well during September archery seasons when elk remain vocal throughout the day. Weather-resistant plastic construction withstands moisture and temperature changes common during mountain hunts.
