Now that’s the kind of guy I want designing the elk calls I use! It is a life-long passion that defines the man today. To this day, his desire to talk with elk is the reason he works all year-simply for the opportunity to be back out hunting. By age 16 he was calling in bulls to fill his tags. Of course, he had been along on hunts at a younger age, but once he became the hunter, his passion for elk blossomed.

Rockie Jacobsen, owner of RMHC, was just 12 years old when he obtained his first elk license. With the hunting skills he required back in the day, he would have been lethal with the updates. If my grandfather had the opportunity to try modern firearms, bullets, clothing, boots, calls, and backpacks, he would’ve been in seventh heaven.

It’s impossible for many oldtimers to comprehend the gains. As hunters, we’ve been fortunate to see, and use, so many engineering and technological advancements of our hunting gear in the last 50 years. As hunters, our passion often describes our lifestyle, not just our pastime. If you’ve grown up hunting, you know that hunting can define your life. Wanting to learn more, I did some homework and eventually got to talk to the man behind more than 36 years of elk calling history and call innovation. Checking out the new Rocky Mountain Hunting Calls (RMHC) at, I found new items that sparked an interest. I’m already preparing for elk hunts this fall and like every year, I look for any advantage I can find to help me anchor a bull when I head to the woods.
