2nd Annual Hunt-Wa Elk Calling Contest
« on: July 08, 2013, 04:58:18 PM »


RULES:
~1 minute ± 5 seconds total sound clip
~File needs to be emailed to me at phelpsgamecalls@yahoo.com as a .mp3 , .wav or any other soundcloud.com supported soundfile.  Subject:Elk Calling Contest.  Include, Name, Hunting-Washington handle, and mailing address. 
~Only one caller allowed per sound clip/sound clip must be continuous from start to finish
~Only Air operated calls may be used
~All Callers will remain anonymous until after the winners are chosen (can elect to stay anonymous after that if preferred).
~Caller submissions will be posted under the contest for others on the forum to listen.
~Caller must have 25+ posts on hunting-washington.com prior to 7/22/2013.
~Jason Phelps, Corey Jacobsen, Dirk Durham, Joel Turner and Elknut Paul will be the judges and will base the score out of 30.  (10 for herd talk, 10 for bull sounds and 10 for freestyle).

Required Sounds:
20 Seconds of Herd Talk (Cow/calf vocals, pleading, estrus, alarm, etc...)
20 Seconds of Bull Sounds (Locator, Challenge, Scream, Grunt, Chuckle, etc...)
20 Seconds of Freestyle (Any elk vocalizations you would like to use)
 
DISCLAIMER: 
The judges will score the audio clip according to their own criteria.  Their decision is final.  Do not get offended or argue with the results.  This is for FUN and lets keep it that way.

Prizes:
Current donations from Phelps Game Calls, Elk101.com/Extreme Elk and Elknut Productions.


WORKFLOW:

I went ahead and did this two different ways:

1)I made a video and then transferred it to YouTube.  You can than use many online converters to convert the Youtube video to an .mp3 (google search).  What you can do is enter in the letters pwn right after the www. when watching the video and hit enter.  This will take you to a screen where all the available converters that YouTube supports are.  I used OnlineConverter.  Video must be "public" for the conversion.  Otherwise you can go to google and search for "youtube to mp3 converter" and use one of your choice.

2)I also used a program called Free Video Converter.  Here, you can convert any video to an .mp3 directly (It must be downloaded to your computer though).

I also advise that everyone uses a 256 kbps transfer to make sure that they are getting the highest audio quality.  Then just email me the .mp3 file with your name and user name attached.
