Elknut Elk Calling Contest Official Announcement

[WapitiTalk1]

"Now, I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? To tell you the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you have to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya..........".

Sorry, forgot what I was going to say. I meant to say: Now I know what you're thinking... "it's only day one of the first annual Elknut Forum, Elk Calling Contest. I've recorded a few clips that sound pretty good but why submit so early? I mean, after all, there's a bunch of days left to send my clip in, right?"

Well callers, how about the very next submission/clip I receive at the sstribute68@gmail.com email can claim the first prize of this "prize packed" contest. Your choice of either a Wapiti River Outdoors Pink Lady Cow Call, or, a Wapiti River Outdoors Bull Buster. Your move

Update on submission format.  I figured out how to convert a Sound cloud link to an audio file, so, if you just wish to send a Sound cloud link for your entry, you may.  I'll convert your Sound cloud recording to an audio clip and get it to the other judges.  RJ

Oh, I received a pretty nice box-o-goods from Vortex Optics in the mail yesterday.  Just saying 

[WapitiTalk1]

One week left to get your submission in folks... hoping see a good handful come my way over the weekend     

[WapitiTalk1]

The contest window doesn't close until this Friday so there's still time to get your audio clip, or, sound cloud link submitted (I'll convert your soundcloud link to an audio file and get it to the judges).  In addition to some pretty awesome top prizes (Vortex optics, EMG Slip System, new model Wyoming Saw, Clipshot, elk tubes, calls, etc., "each" entry will receive a free elk diaphram, perhaps two, dependent on the amount of entries  ...

Do you know what type of file the voice recordings are on iPhones?

Do you know what type of file the voice recordings are on iPhones?

Using a voice memo recording with an Iphone results in an M4A file.. Yes sir, it works just fine for our contest purposes!   

How to:  Go to utilities, voice memo, click on red record button and do your elk noise thing  .  When you've got the clip recorded you like, name your sound file (you can also wait to name the file until you've sent it to your email).  Choose the share icon and send the file from your phone to your email address.  Save to desktop, ensure the sound file is good to go, and forward it to the email on the contest flyer.  Good luck!

Sounds good. I'll go home and serenade the neighbors with some herd talk 

[WapitiTalk1]

Allrighty, last reminder.  The contest entry window closes tomorrow.  Get your clips sent in.  You never know, you just may win something pretty cool 

[MattySuto]

whens the absolute last min we can send in our clips?

[WapitiTalk1]

Need your clips today please. If anybody is having trouble sending them, please let me know via PM and we can work it out.  Thanks.. RJ

[WapitiTalk1]

 Tic toc, tic toc.  Send your elk noises in

When will results be posted?

[WapitiTalk1]

Hoping to have the final results posted by mid week.  I'll get them up as soon as I get all the scores from the judges. 

[WapitiTalk1]

Uh oh, I've got the total averages from all the judges and have finalized the results... but.... yawn, I'm so dang tired, I suppose I'll wait until tomorrow or next week to announce them....   Perhaps I'll post them up over "that a way" if anybody is interested.  Man, I'd sure like to keep these Vortex Binos for myself.  I could really use a pair of new optics for my ID hunt this fall.
