MOUNTAIN MEDICINE ELK CALL

Handmade Elk Antler Open Reed Elk Call

The Mountain Medicine Elk Call is a handmade open reed elk call built one at a time by Matt Hartsky's dad, Steve Hartsky in Laramie, Wyoming.

Each call is crafted from genuine elk antler, giving every piece its own natural color, shape, texture, and character. No two calls are exactly the same, and that is exactly the point. This is not a mass-produced plastic call made to look like something wild. This is a real elk antler call made by hand, built for hunters who appreciate gear with purpose, story, and connection to the mountains.

Designed to create realistic cow elk sounds, the Mountain Medicine Elk Call gives hunters a simple, effective way to produce soft mews, pleading cow sounds, nasally cow notes, and emotion-driven elk vocalizations that fit real hunting situations. Whether you are working a close-range setup, trying to stop a bull, adding realism to a calling sequence, or keeping communication subtle in pressured country, this call gives you a natural sound in a rugged, one-of-a-kind package.

The open reed design allows you to control tone, pressure, and emotion with your lips, air, and hand position. The call also includes a keeper band, which helps hold the reed in position and allows the call to be set for the best break-over note. That break-over point is what gives the call its realistic shift in tone—the kind of sound that makes a cow call feel alive instead of flat.

Built from elk antler. Made by hand in Wyoming. Tuned for the mountain.

Why Hunters Will Love It

The Mountain Medicine Elk Call was built for hunters who want a call that sounds good, feels good, and carries a little more meaning than something pulled off a factory shelf.

Each call is made from real elk antler, so every one has its own natural grain, color pattern, and shape. Some are darker. Some are lighter. Some have heavier texture. Some have more polished character. That natural variation is what makes every call unique.

The reed system is designed to produce realistic cow elk sounds with strong control and clean break-over. The keeper band helps set the reed where it performs best, giving the call a more consistent tone while still allowing the hunter to put emotion into the sound.

This call is simple, rugged, and effective. It is easy to carry, easy to use, and built with the kind of handmade character that belongs in elk country.
