Fax header: July 30, 1998. Attention Kevin. Fax 406-652-5226. Don Laubach is the founder and president of MT E.L.K., INC. He is the inventor and patent holder on the "Cow Talk" call and the "Larynx Bull Call" for elk and the "Antelope Talk," "Deer Talk," and "Turkey Talk" calls. With co-author Mark Henckel, his books include Elk Talk, The Elk Hunter, Deer Talk, and now Elk Tactics.
Laubach also was involved in creating a number of successful videos with legendary filmmaker Gordon Eastman and has more recently begun creating videos of his own, including Wyoming's Thunder Bulls, Mule Deer Advantage, and Dogging Coyotes. All are available from MT E.L.K., INC., P.O. Box 85, Gardiner, MT, 59030. Handwritten additions: The "Cow Talk" call was the first cow elk call invented in the U.S. Was instrumental in designing the "Power Bugle" elk call which has won world elk bugling championships in several divisions: men’s, ladies and youth.
Note: Store seminar, August 27, 1998, 6:00 p.m. I will be there in store at 4:00 p.m. and after seminar. If the new book arrives by then we could offer a book signing. My son Ryan will also help in demonstrating calls. Free goods for door prizes: six "Power Bugles"; six "How to Power Bugle Elk" videos; six "Cow Talk" calls. [Margin revisions beside this list show three, three, and six, bracketed and marked "mailed".] Possibly give them away on break time at seminar. Thanks, Don.
