Higdon Outdoors
Higdon Outdoors is best known for motion waterfowl decoys, but Impact Guns' Higdon inventory centers on their elk calling lineup — Higdon's own diaphragm calls plus the Riven line, Higdon's dedicated elk-call sub-brand covering bugle tubes, dome diaphragms, and combo packs.

Riven: Higdon's Elk Call Line
Riven is Higdon Outdoors' dedicated elk-calling sub-brand, covering diaphragm calls (Comet, RS2, Elkasus), bugle tubes (Eclipse, Menace), and combo packs that bundle multiple diaphragm styles for hunters who want options in the field without buying each separately.
Higdon Diaphragm Calls
Higdon's own-branded diaphragm lineup (Tremor, Rosie, Black Ice, Stratum, Single Lady) covers a range of reed configurations and pitches, sold individually or in 3-packs. The Beau Brooks Signature Series combo pack bundles a Cutter, Batwing, and Mockingbird diaphragm together, put together by a recognized elk-calling competitor.
Choosing a Diaphragm Call
Diaphragm calls take practice to master compared to a bugle tube, but reward that practice with hands-free operation and finer pitch control for realistic cow and calf sounds. If you're new to diaphragm calling, a multi-pack (like the Elk Diaphragm 3-Pack or a Riven combo) lets you find the reed configuration that fits your calling style without committing to just one.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Riven and Higdon's own elk calls?
Riven is Higdon Outdoors' dedicated elk-calling sub-brand — both are made by the same company, but Riven products are marketed and packaged separately from Higdon's main-branded diaphragm lineup.
Are diaphragm calls or bugle tubes better for beginners?
Bugle tubes are generally easier to learn since they don't require the mouth control a diaphragm call does. Diaphragm calls take more practice but allow hands-free, more subtle cow and calf calling once mastered.
