The Haydel's Cow Elk Call (CE-03) is the definitive choice for hunters seeking to replicate the social and estrus calls of cow elk. Whether you are using it to locate bulls in the high country or to draw them into your setup, the CE-03 offers the tonal clarity and realism needed to be successful. By mimicking the subtle mews, chirps, and estrus whines of a cow, you can trigger a bull's competitive and mating instincts, often coaxing them out of heavy timber and into your shooting lane.
Designed for the backcountry elk hunter, the CE-03 is built with a focus on consistency and ease of use. Its bite style design allows for effortless modulation, meaning you can easily switch between high-pitched chirps and long, alluring whines with simple changes in breath control. The compact, moisture-resistant design ensures that the call performs reliably in the thinning air of high-altitude hunts and the unpredictable weather of the elk woods. For hunters who prioritize natural, convincing vocalizations, the CE-03 is a proven performer.

Haydel's CE-03 Cow Elk Call FAQ
Cow calls are excellent for locating bulls, calming a bull down after a loud bugle, or drawing a bull into close range. They are generally less aggressive than bugles and are perfect for keeping a bull engaged without spooking him.
Start with a high-pitched "mew" and steadily increase your breath pressure, drawing out the sound to mimic the long, nasal whine of a cow in estrus. This is a very effective way to pique a bull's interest during the rut.
Yes. The CE-03 is very reliable. If you encounter extreme cold, keep the call in an inner pocket to ensure the reed stays flexible and responds instantly to your breath.
Very little! Because elk are vocal and have a wide range of natural sounds, the CE-03 is very forgiving. Just a few minutes of practicing your breath control will have you sounding like part of the herd.
