Do you know if they will be giving any feed back to people who enter? I would like some helpful critism in some areas that people like tha know there stuff. If not I will still be entering thanks. :tup:
Probably not specific, individual feedback for the contest itself. There are four judges and they will all rate each clip based on the established point system. Once the points are tallied, I'll release the final results. That said, there are always some top tier guys that are willing to receive a hunter's elk sound recording, and, provide feedback on ways to improve. Best of luck in the contest! Should be a lotta fun. RJ

are video clips from your phone good enough for a submission?
Need the file converted to MP3/MP4 before submission please. I did a quick search and there are quite a few free converters one can download (if in fact, you need to convert a VID to one of the MP formats).

Sounds like may not get a lot of entries with having to convert files. Sometimes this can be difficult if you don't know how. Just saying.
thats what i was looking into as well i mean if i can turn my lights off in my house with my cell phone i should be able to figure out how to convert a file, i was suggesting a video maybe to show proof of the contestent doing it all by themselves, also might be comedic watching people switch out mouth reeds and all sorts of fumbling around for that one min. just my :twocents:

If we don't have an Elknut forum tag, can we include our Hunt WA tag?
You don't have to be an Elknut forum member to participate in the contest. However, that is where the results will be posted after the entry window closes ;).

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 :D

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

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 8). 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!

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.
Bring them to Idaho---I could use some excellent Vortex glass, too!!
Thanks for the contest. Looking forward to the results.
