Congratualtions Joel

[Bearhunter]

Looks like Rocky Jacobsen didnt place this year, wonder if he competed?

[bowpredator]

Yea, Joel is a cool dude. He is a yelm cop and also serves on the swat team for thurston county. I use to shoot archery with him years ago. He is also a dead eye shot with the recurve and usually places in the top positions with recurve at most of the archery shoots. I know he is freinds with Joe out at Rainier Archery out on meridian.

 He is a Pro Staffer for Rockie Jacobsen, so yep, he was using the Monarch & Rockies calls, the very stuff we use ourselves. These are the very products we use & carry for hunting here in ID

  Incidentally, Rockie took 4th & his son Corey took 5th in a call off!

Hey there folks,

I didn't know people knew so many things about me.  This is the mysterious Joel Turner.  It is true, I was lucky enough to win the RMEF World Elk Calling Championship in the Professional Division this year in Reno.  I do use Rockie Jacobsen's calls for all of my cow calling.  I use several other calls for my bugling just to get some very specific tones that I think work well in the woods as well as on the stage.  As for the Pro Staff thing, I am not sure what will happen.  This is all very new and exciting for me.  I did a radio interview with Field and Stream Radio yesterday but I am not sure if it has aired yet. 

It was very interesting reading about myself.  Even I learned a few things!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the acknowledgements and the congrats,

JT

Joel/Sniper10, congratulations on the win and welcome to the site.

I haven't heard of Field and Stream Radio.........what station is that on, or is it a satellite radio thing?

[SNIPER10]

Curly,

I don't know what station it is.  I hadn't heard of them either until they called me.  If you google Field and Stream Radio you will find their website.

Thanks and take care,

JT

Hey, Joel this is Rodger congrats on the win! How did you a Joe do down in Az with that tag he drew last year. Hope to see you at some shoots this year. Trying to get Ray back into the 3D shoots again but he's now got a kid and is tied down a bit. later, Rodger

[SNIPER10]

Rodger,

Hey great to hear from ya.  I called in a pile of bulls for Joe in AZ.  He missed two monsters.  He hit a limb on one and the other jumped his string.  He finally harvested a small 6x6 that I called in to 10 yards.  I got the whole call in on video, it is some great footage!!!!

Take Care,

JT

Congrats to Joel! nice to see guys fro our area placing high or winning it!

[huntnphool]

Congrats Joel you should be very proud, there are some very accomplished callers in that competition, well done and way to represent!!!

Is that video you shot of Joe the one with all the spiders? If it is you can count me out, don't like spiders, not one bit, especially ones you can put saddles on

[SNIPER10]

Yep that's the one.  But we only saw one of those tarantulas, I guess there are lots of em down there.  If you knew how many big bulls were down there, you wouldn't let a little spider stand in your way.


Thanks for the congrats,

JT

 Joel, since I was off on my info about the winner. (grin) Was it true that you were using the Monarch bugle this year? Just curious as to your setup in relation to the others. I know most of the callers these days but had never heard of you!  By the way, the info I had related was given to me by a good friend, I felt it was accurate! I was wrong, bummer! (grin) It sounds as if you're NOT a Pro Staffer for Rockie, but possibly considering it?
  I know how these things can get a mite twisted at times, Rockie had asked me to be a part of his Pro Staff  several years ago but I respectively declined as I enjoy doing my own thing too much!! Good Luck to you & your decision & Congrats on a great job, you beat some great guys there!!
