Only final score tallies/rankings will be posted on the forum(s) but yes........ in past contests, I've captured and provided some of the judges comments to the contestants if they wish to receive them.

Yes sir, any human operated calls are acceptable for submission. I say that because I remember receiving a PM during one contest asking if they could use an electronic elk call for their submission, I kid you not :rolleyes:

Anyone want to volunteer tips for best way the easiest/best way to make an acceptable recording? Iphone video ?
Magnum-
I've used the iPhone app titled "Voice Memos" with some good success.
WapitiTalk1-
Just for clarification, the three 20 second intervals have to be recorded in one shot? ex: hit record, perform all three calling topics then stop recording? Trimming only allowed to cut dead "audio space" at beginning and end of recording?
Post by: WapitiTalk1 on March 27, 2017, 07:56:36 AM
Yes, that is correct; one continuous recording from start to finish (total length not to exceed 1 minute +/- 5 seconds).

So how do you stop people from just sending a recording of some elk sounds?just thought I might ask.
I suppose if you had any doubt, you could just ask to see the video they took that they pulled the sound off of of them making the calls.
That and it is really hard to get elk to hold still and make a whole bunch of different calls rapid fire inside of a minute (cows first please, just cows...alright, now bulls... ok, all together now) :chuckle:

with that kind of prizes I'm surprised there wasnt more contestants!
I was surprised as well. I was trying to talk several different buddies into doing it and they didn't think they'd win so didn't do it. Shoot- i throw my name in every hat I can when the prizes are good.
