That's right! If you weren't able to make it to the World Elk Calling Championships in Reno or the Best of the West Finals in SLC this past month, you still have a chance to show off your elk calling skills in the 2011 Elk101.com Internet Elk Calling Championships!

The rules are simple, the prizes are HUGE, and anyone can enter!

For complete rules and details, click the following link:

Good luck,
Corey

Just a helpful hint- try recording in different areas ( basement, in your truck, backyard etc.)  find the best sounding "acoustics" and send that one in. Acoustics will make or break how your calls will sound on the net.Laugh

A big walk in closet with the bugle tube pointed away from the mic is also great place to record….

We have some great prizes lining up…a set of Sitka Gear, tons of calls from Bugling Bull Game Calls, elk decoys from Heads Up Decoys, and more! We'll sort it all out and get the full prize list up soon!

Are you going to have a break down between Pros and amatures or is it just a free for all?

By the way, how did you and the rest do at Salt Lake. And congrats on the world!

WW,

There won't be separate categories…anyone can enter and win and we have prizes for the top 3!

Salt Lake was good! My 8-year old son, Isaac, won the Peewee Division and I managed to fool another set of judges there as well… :-)

Thanks,
Corey

Clint,

I know a 6 year old in the klamath are that would be more than happy to help her get started.  She would also make a small bat for your daughter.

Corey, are you getting many entries yet?  I am hoping to get mine put together over the weekend after I make a run at some turkeys…maybe even have my daughter send in a routine :-)  Thanks for the comments guys…she is definitely a keeper!!

Just sent mine in today (Corey if you could, let me know if you got it and the attachment worked).  If you haven't sent yours in yet, my only suggestion is try to have someone help you out when you record.  It's hard to keep track of your calls, the time, and control the recording device all at the same time :-) 

I see what you guys go through on stage, the only thing is for us is if we mess up we can try again and re-record…you guys have to get it right the first time…hats off to all the stage callers!  It was fun to get the calls out and let em' rip…I soooo can't wait to do it for real in just a few months!!

Great work guys! We're getting some GREAT submissions and I can't wait for everyone to get to listen! We'll have 'em up over the weekend and you'll have until Monday May 2 to vote. Be sure to send all your friends (e-mail, Facebook, etc) over to vote for you as well!

Many thanks,
Corey
