There’s been an outpouring of ideas and prayers from avid elk hunters throughout the nation following Carlton’s passing. 

Corey Jacobsen of Elk 101 shared, “In 2016, I had the chance to go to Wayne at his house in Montrose, Colorado whereas filming “The Linguists” movie, and we spent the day speaking in regards to the historical past of elk calls and elk calling. 

He was really one of many authentic pioneers of elk calling, and I’d guess there aren’t many elk hunters who don’t know who he was. 

For over 40 years, his ardour and affect on elk calling and elk searching by no means dimmed, and generations of elk hunters owe part of their love for the game to those that paved the best way – together with Wayne Carlton.

He shall be missed, however his legacy is not going to be forgotten.”
