Lightweight Power for Hardcore Elk Hunters
For years, Slayer hunters asked us to create a smaller bugle tube designed for the real world — not the calling stage. So we did. The Lil’ Warrior is built for backcountry bowhunters who go farther, climb higher, and need gear that keeps up.
This compact elk bugle delivers big sound in a lighter, quieter, and more packable design — without sacrificing the aggressive lip bawls, chuckles, and high-pitched screams that fire up a bull. Whether you’re chasing timberline bulls or slipping through thick creek bottoms, the Lil’ Warrior gives you stealth, sound, and versatility — all in one rugged tube.
Why the Lil' Warrior Bugle Tube is Better:
Built for the Hunt
The Lil’ Warrior isn’t made for competition stages — it’s made for the mountains. You don’t need a subwoofer to call in bulls. You need a tube that moves with you, not against you. The Lil’ Warrior keeps you agile and ready in tight timber or steep country.
Compact Size = Less Movement
With a length of just 16.25 inches and a diameter of 3.25 inches, this tube reduces visual movement during calling sequences — critical for getting bulls close without giving away your position.
Lightweight & Ultra Packable
Weighing in at just 5.2 ounces, the Lil’ Warrior is over 45% lighter and 28% smaller than our Swagger bugle tube — and most other tubes on the market. It won’t weigh down your pack or bang around as you move through brush.
Backcountry-Ready Durability
Made from impact-resistant, American-made materials and wrapped in a Kryptek camo sleeve, this tube is built to survive the abuse of elk season — year after year.
Great Sound Quality
Get the same Slayer sound quality — crisp high notes, powerful bugles, solid back-pressure — with only a slight sacrifice in bass tone. With the Lil’ Warrior, you get authentic elk sounds in a frame that’s easier to handle in the field.
Versatile Calling Setup
Run the Lil’ Warrior with any of Slayer’s Clearwater elk reeds for unmatched tone and control. Need to mix in cow calls? Simply clip on the Enchantress push-button call (sold separately) and add seductive mews, estrus whines, and assembly calls without switching gear.
