Allrighty then, here we go. Just to reiterate the drill here, this will be done in three phases (listed below). This is a practice thread, designed to make all of us dust off our reeds and practice a bit and perhaps, have a better chance at success during Phase III. There will no rhyme or reason to some of these sounds (sometimes no nametag to the kind of sound it is) but more so, just a sound that will force us to work on tongue pressure, air flow, and tone, intensity, and pitch (a bit farther down the road).
1. Phase I - I'll post up an elk sound (man made) and fellow Hunt WA elk hunters try to duplicate 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 top caller's seminars so I thought perhaps this is a good way to practice, and, possibly get a few of those cats to provide some constructive recommendations on how to improve our calling.
Here is the first practice sound. This sound is just a few bull notes and makes us concentrate on air flow and tongue pressure.
