What’s Inside

Harem Bite Call — Hands-Free. High Pitch. No Guesswork.
A compact bite call that produces consistent, high-pitched cow mews and emotional calf sounds with minimal learning curve. Simply bite and blow to create realistic vocalizations—even when you’re moving or at full draw.

Guardian Bugle Tube — Compact. Powerful. Total Control.
A premium bugle tube with an acrylic mouthpiece for improved back pressure, louder notes and cleaner tone. Built for hunters who want big sound without unnecessary bulk.

Lolo Elk Reed — High Pitch. Calf Emotion. Pure Finesse.
The lightest reed in the Clearwater Series, the Lolo is easy to run and control. Its high-pitched tone is ideal for soft calf calls, distressed-calf sequences and subtle close-contact bugles.

Isabella Creek Elk Reed — Quiet. Medium Pitch. Total Control.
The easiest diaphragm in the lineup. Designed for smooth cow sounds, moans and small bugles—ideal for beginners and effective in tight situations.

Sound Like a Calf That Needs Help

A distressed calf doesn’t make one short mew and stop. It calls repeatedly—with urgency and emotion—as it searches for the herd. According to elk-calling expert Joel Turner, that high-pitched calf sound can trigger a powerful “come help me” instinct in cows and bulls.

The Harem and Lolo give you two beginner-friendly ways to create drawn-out cries, double mews and emotional calling sequences that mimic a calf separated from the herd. Cows may come looking for the calf, bringing the bull with them—or a bull may approach the calf sound directly.

The key is to stay high and in the calf spectrum. Dropping too low can sound like a mature cow and create suspicion instead of urgency.

Why This Kit Works

Most beginners struggle with consistency. This system is designed to make realistic calling easier:

• Harem → delivers immediate, hands-free cow and calf sounds
• Lolo → creates high-pitched calf sounds and distressed-calf sequences
• Isabella → builds diaphragm confidence with smooth, controlled sounds
• Guardian → adds the power, tone and back pressure needed for realistic bugles

You’re not just buying four calls—you’re building an elk-calling system that progresses with you.

Start with the simple bite-and-blow Harem. Learn controlled diaphragm sounds with the Lolo and Isabella. Then add the Guardian to build complete calling sequences.
