I always had success calling elk in for my friends and myself. I never understood what I was doing and this really helps me to understand what I’m trying to say to the elk and what they are saying to me. I’m a solo hunter and the first time I used this in the field I had two giant bulls coming in to fight me. One was so close I couldn’t move or call and he stood for 15 minutes looking and chuckling trying to get me to show myself all I could see where antlers and eyes 320” bull minimum. The other bull was way smarter and way bigger and only hung around for 30 seconds. What was great is I knew how to make all the calls this showed me when to use them to say the right things. I never realized how much the bulls just want to come and fight. They responded to my fight calls more this year than any other calling sequence. Did not put a bull on the ground but sparked an old flame with a new understanding. The panting I have never used and wow that made this bull red eye mad. They do learn what you sound like fast though and after 4 days would not respond the same. Like to get some pointers there. And I have other sounds I’ve heard I’d love to know what they mean and are used for that you have never addressed or made note of. Thanks Paul for all the years spent to help us out. Is there a video for slow play coming soon would love to see that Nick C

Thank you for the detailed and positive review!
Extremely Impressed
B. Tuft
I just want to say how impressed I am with, not just Paul’s knowledge and experience, but with his willingness to help hunters learn how to become students of elk hunting. For $4.99 this app is a no brainer for any elk hunter wanting to become better at their craft. Elk hunting has never made more sense to me. I successfully called in a bull for a buddy in 2016 and it was really cool, but other than knowing how to cow call well I was clueless on what the bull was actually saying when he hung up at 184 yards in an open meadow. He kept nervous grunting and I was fascinated by the sound, but didn’t understand it. Now I understand what he was saying and why he hung up. I love the sequences, tactics, tips sections, videos, ability to record myself and compare my sounds to real elk and ElkNut sounds. To put it simply there is nothing else like this anywhere out there. It’s is cutting edge and worth it’s weight in gold to all elk hunters, even seasoned guys. Ever since I heard Paul’s podcasts I’ve been hooked. You guys rock. I wish it was fall right now!!! Your willingness to help people is very admirable. Get this app, you won’t be sorry!

Hear them out on changing to subscription
bobbyrvick
I have had this app for two years and it has helped my husband and I significantly with our calls and learning about elk communication. I have told my husband that it was crazy they only charged 10 dollars for the amount of information the app contained.I was bummed when I saw it was moving to subscription, but I reached out to them, they responded promptly, and they explained that it was a very difficult decision. There are only 5 guys working on this app.The amount of work, thought, and years of experience and education put into this app is definitely worth 15 dollars a year. And that certainly isn’t going to be enough to provide an income for any of them. All we see are the videos and the calls in the app. We don’t know the time, cost, and effort that is required behind the scenes to have the app run smoothly and give us all of this awesome information.The new update runs seamlessly and it’s apparent a lot of thought was put into this decision. Love seeing new tips, tactics, and sequences, too. The information put out in this app is unmatched and worth it. These guys are hunters just like we are. Don’t give them a bad review just because they are trying to figure out a way to keep making this app better for us. Thank you guys for taking the time out of your lives to give us this great app!

Solid App with Great Info
FlyHuntFish
This is a well designed app that will help elk hunters of all experience levels be more well informed about elk sounds and behavior out in the field. I’ve enjoyed using ElkNut products in the past with their videos and their super helpful playbook, so I was happy to see so much of that information packaged into an easy to use app that is always with you. I can personally attest to having increased success because of what I’ve learned from the ElkNut crew, and my largest archery bull to date was taken utilizing information I’d learned from them. Paul advocates using a grunt sound to stop a bull rather than a cow sound. When a large branch bull and I “soft” spooked each other in the timber and he started to walk away, I remembered this advice and just gave a loud grunt with my mouth. The bull sowed after a few steps and stopped quartering away, allowing me to make a heart shot on a beautiful 6x7! If I hadn’t known about Paul’s success with just grunting with my mouth, I may not have had the confidence to try such a thing, and that bull would have just kept walking away! I view this app as another tool to help increase my chances. It won’t replace spending time in the elk woods, but it does leverage the knowledge gained by someone who has spent a lot of time around elk, and is gracious enough to share that information (and is always excited to do so!). Between providing a better understanding of what different elk sounds mean, and providing various strategies that have been proven in the field, I highly recommend this app for anyone serious about improving their odds of harvesting an elk.
• AI Call Coach ("Vs. the Pro"): scores your recording against the exact call and pro demonstration you're practicing, and silent/failed recordings no longer count against your free scores.
• Smoother audio & playback speed: call clips start faster with less data use, and you can slow down or speed up any call (0.75x / 1x / 1.25x) to hear every note.
• Subscription & billing hub under Account: see where your membership is billed, manage or cancel in one tap, or restore a missing subscription across Apple, Google, or web sign-ins.
• Offline "Verify & repair": checks your saved downloads and clears any incomplete files so you can re-save them before heading out.
• Related calls, sequences, and tactics now appear at the bottom of every lesson so you can keep learning.
Good luck out there.
