I'm thinking of starting a calling practice thread. Honestly, I'm not in the ballpark with some of the really good callers like Mr. Phelps with my squawking but can make a few noises and am offering a thread so we can all get our practice on 8-) This is my concept:
1. Phase I - I'll post up an elk sound (man made) and fellow HW Forums cats try to mimic it and post up their sound. Comments are encouraged from anybody, including the top notch callers, but it's more about the practice than anything else. This will be a time to give our reeds a workout and try to get various sounds out of them. We'll run this for a while, perhaps throwing up a new sound every few days for a a week or so.
2. Phase II - I'll post up some real elk noise clips and we'll do our best to try and mimic them and post those recordings up. We can run a few of these right up till wapiti season.
3. Phase III - We all call in elk this fall, using what we've practiced and became better at :lol:
I know we all can't attend one of the premier calling seminars so I thought this may be a good way to practice, and, perhaps get some of the real good callers to provide some constructive recommendations on how to improve our noises.
Whaddya you cats think; do you like the concept?
