THE CONTEST HAS STARTED!

RULES:
~1 minute ± 5 seconds total sound clip
~File needs to be emailed to me at phelpsgamecalls@yahoo.com as a .mp3 or .wav file.  Subject:Elk Calling Contest.  Include, Name, Hunting-Washington handle, and mailing address. 
~Only one caller allowed per sound clip/sound clip must be continuous from start to finish
~Only Air operated calls may be used
~All Callers will remain anonymous until after the winners are chosen (can elect to stay anonymous after that if preferred).
~Caller submissions will be posted under the contest for others on the forum to listen.
~Jason Phelps, Corey Jacobsen and Elknut Paul will be the judges and will base the score out of 30.  (10 for herd talk, 10 for bull sounds and 10 for freestyle).

Required Sounds:
20 Seconds of Herd Talk (Cow/calf vocals, pleading, estrus, alarm, etc...)
20 Seconds of Bull Sounds (Locator, Challenge, Scream, Grunt, Chuckle, etc...)
20 Seconds of Freestyle (Any elk vocalizations you would like to use)
 
DISCLAIMER: 
The judges will score the audio clip according to their own criteria.  Their decision is final.  Do not get offended or argue with the results.  This is for FUN and lets keep it that way.

Prizes:
1st Place - $100 worth of product from Phelps Game Calls, $125 credit at Charlie's Taxidermy (non-transferable and non-redeemable), $40 Gift Certificate to elk101.com, subscription to extreme elk.
2nd Place - $50 worth of product from Phelps Game Calls, Havalon Piranta, $25 Gift Certificate to elk101.com, subscription to extreme elk.
3rd Place - $25 worth of product from Phelps Game Calls, $15 Gift Certificate to elk101.com, subscription to extreme elk.
4th Place - Primetime Outdoors Shirt & DVD + elknut
5th Place - Primetime Outdoors Shirt & DVD + elknut

Other Prizes:  Elknut will be including a bunch of videos, etc... that will be random (I will post what is included when I receive it).



WORKFLOW:

I went ahead and did this two different ways:

1)I made a video and then transferred it to YouTube.  You can than use many online converters to convert the Youtube video to an .mp3 (google search).  What you can do is enter in the letters pwn right after the www. when watching the video and hit enter.  This will take you to a screen where all the available converters that YouTube supports are.  I used OnlineConverter.  Video must be "public" for the conversion.  Otherwise you can go to google and search for "youtube to mp3 converter" and use one of your choice.

2)I also used a program called Free Video Converter.  Here, you can convert any video to an .mp3 directly (It must be downloaded to your computer though).

I also advise that everyone uses a 256 kbps transfer to make sure that they are getting the highest audio quality.  Then just email me the .mp3 file with your name and user name attached.

You are going to post them all? Apparently I'm a poor reader. :)

Would it be easier for you if I just sent you a soundcloud link or do you really want to host all of the sounds?

As long as it is a file type that can be sent straight to SoundCloud that will work.

Still working on my submission, just got a daiphragm today, thought I could use any one, but only choices at Sunbirds are Carleton's and Primos...
Now just getting it all together in a minute...  :dunno:

Mines in. Sure would have been easier to do 90 seconds or 2 minutes. To fit it into 1 minute I had to rush to get through all the sounds I know and still feeling like I'm leaving something out. I'm looking forward to what everyone else comes up with.

:yeah:
I know I am leaving some sounds out, it is deciding which ones to use that is my trouble...
I had a plan, even wrote an outline, but in action it comes out just sounding like a bunch of calls all thrown together.
, Oh well, still a "work in progress"

Where is bildo? Seems like he disapeared  :dunno:
Rumor has it he is over scouting out the desert unit for his deer hunt. Figured he'd check into a Holiday Inn in Moses Lake, log into the high speed internet hook up and start grilling everyone on here for hotspots. Maybe he'll stop into the YTC on his way home and tell the MP's to let him in. His daddy has a bull tag and he needs to scout a big bull out to call in for him. You know he's called in 4 bulls for him don't you? :chuckle:

Last year, he only had called in 2 bulls for his dad, must have gotten two more last season ?

ok.  there should be a deadline for entering, then have a time for voting.  don't post any entries until the time is up.  that will eliminate any pre judging and comments that would help those who haven't entered yet. :twocents: :IBCOOL:

Yeah people know the deadline. I don't think any sound clips need to be posted until they have all been turned in. So we hear everyones original stuff. Kinda gives guys a edge if they are getting feedback on what has already been posted. Then they can adjust to what is wanted. I say hold it all until the deadline is past :tup: Then it's a little more level playing field.

That's because everyone is practicing to get that recording just right before sending it in. I didn't pay attention and was afraid the deadline was close so I sent mine in. Was funny, everyone had left the house for about a half hour so I rushed my laptop into another room to record my sounds real quick then went back to my office so no one new ;) I know how they love me making elk sounds  :tup:

Just a reminder this weekend is the deadline.  I will be playing in a softball tournament all weekend and won't be able to make sure your submissions get in if there is a problem.

Bye the way there are only 7 submissions so far.  Lots of prizes to be had and I know more people call elk than 7.

I've enjoyed listening to all the entries that Jason has been able to down load, so far. This is a great tool for myself to understand what I could better in order to sound better. I'll diffenittly need to work more on my calling and not be so mechanical after listening to all of them and hearing myself against the others! Great job every one.

I didn't hear any grunts or chuckles in his routine though. Other than that, the guy is seriously dialed.

haven't heard 21 yet, but so far i like, in no particular order.  3,4,5,6, and 7.  12, 14, and 20 would get participation ribbons.

I need to go listen to some elk.
I had some difficulties, but thought I did O.K., made it in at the last 2 minutes, but I am not as good as I thought I was, because I agree that #6 is my choice as a clear, beautiful..(must be Bilbo), I am surprised that mine is not even getting mentioned.. we all deserve the humility.
I wish I sounded as good as my imagination !!
I applaud the participants, and wish you all the best of luck !!

I wouldn't get discouraged. My list of favorites are different from what I'm seeing mentioned by others... actually quite a bit different. Our ears certainly hear the sounds differently and I wouldn't be surprised if the judges choose some different numbers as well.

There are some good clips here. I can take some techniques and vocalizations from all of them to hone my own skills. While its tough to put together a perfect 60 second sound clip, you'd be hard pressed to listen to any of these without hearing a couple of sounds that get you excited for elk season :)

Remember, the judges said they want to hear not just sounds elk make but the reality of the sounds as in how you would hear them in the wild such as a scenario you might hear them in. There are a lot of great sounds in all of these entries, glad I'm not a judge...

Clearly, this will be the 2nd place finish and if you liked this entrant's sound clip bildo's would blow everybodies away!  He is definitely a champion elk caller and I still can not figure out why he's not taking over the circuit and why he's not capitalizing on tutorial videos and gaining sponsorships and making money? :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I have the pleasure of working from home much of the time so I have gone to the Soundclowd page and just turn it on and listen without looking at each one. Wow, there are a lot of great sounds coming out of everyone. It becomes hard to tell one from another when you do not look or know which one it is on. There are a few standouts but overall fun to listen to. I'm picking up some nice sounds to try  :tup:

A 19 year old prodigy, "world champion" elk caller that has never killed a bull himself but called "a lot" in for his dad on every high fence operation in North America. My memory is a bit weak but that's just based off my limited recollection. ;)

Jason, I am VERY glad that you decided to list scores for everyone!!! Not only do we get a critique on our own calling, but also get to learn what sounds the judges score higher which will help everyone's understanding, IMO!

Do you plan to leave the scores as totals, or are you separating them as scores from each judge?

Anxiously awaiting results!!

I only checked out the link for 1-10 but i liked #4. His cow calls sound like mine(so I like em)! Good bugle sounds. Chuckles may need some more practice? They were better than what I could do with the call I have tho! :tup: :tup: :tup:

It is a great chance to learn from others and what great callers like to hear. I just never thought to call as much as most people do. I never hunt with anyone who calls. So I am the only one I ever hear calling. So this is great for me! I just never would have thought to talk as much as a lot of the guys are doing.

Any chance we could talk you into at least emailing us results for cow, bull, mixed scores? I personally think that would tell me what I could use improvement on and what people scored well in each particular area.

Killing elk is what it is all about!!!  We for some reason have to turn everything into a competition (that is really hard to judge). :dunno:

I hope it was fun and somebody became a better elk caller because of it.

Thanks for putting this on, Jason. Truly one of the best learning tools out there for us elk hunters to dial in on how to improve our calling.

Only one more month until elk season. If this didn't get y'all excited to get your calls going, absolutely nothing will!

I'm not going to complain with my place, I only used one mouth reed and a bugle for everything. I didn't realize I could use external reeds until after I submitted so I'm happy. Would love to do this again next year :)

Congrats to the winners  :IBCOOL:

If you guys could, it would be great for all of us to know what you are looking for in a competition like this. Just correct sounds, sequences, variation etc.etc.

Remember practice makes you closer to perfect, No ONE is perfect! Great job to all that participated as well, remember to practice your calling but remember to shoot more often, that will be the final decision when releasing that arrow towards bagging your trophy!!--

What device did everyone use to record on and what environment and how many attempts. Just kinda curious
Mine was second attempt,sitting on my bed recording with my cellphone in my hand with diaphram mouth call
I was pretty impressed with the sound quality of all the callers
To me ,Mine sounded like an old transistor radio while most others sounded boze quality
Pretty much ended up right where i thought i would :chuckle: :chuckle:
Caller # 15 :tup:

Post by: JPhelps on July 25, 2012, 08:26:08 PM
I judged based on each individual sound or series of sounds and whether I thought that was a realistic sound I would hear in the woods.

There are specific sounds I liked.  Two callers used an estrus buzz which gained them a little. Caller 21 was one of the only ones to throw in a locator bugle so I noted that as i was scoring.  Caller 5 had a bunch of great cow calls (wide range) as well as clean accurate bugles with lip hawk control.  Caller 6 had a wide variety of cow sounds as well as excellent bugle control, etc...
Title: Re: Hunting-Washington Elk Calling Contest (OFFICIAL)
Post by: carpsniperg2 on July 25, 2012, 08:29:08 PM
I think mine was # 3 or 4 that I sent in. My first one I did not watch a timer and 2ND one had way to much cow calling on it and not enough time for other crap. I think 3 was over the time limit by like 5 or 6 seconds. Then I am sure 4 was it. I walked outside in my front yard with my video camera and wind blowing and gave it a shot :chuckle:

I was 13 :tup:

Come on door prize :lol4:

brad cain was last years mens division champ at the worlds.  he tied for 3rd this contest.    everyone practices their sequence.  those who practice a lot and don't let nerves get to them, usually do well.

Those are some excellent sounds out of the herd master, makes one heck of a great cow call too! I struggle with deep sounding grunts with that call and the Allstar, though.

I'm trying the Full Rut this season, like it quite a bit so far, though a handful of them yields pretty inconsistent sounds for me.

Thanks everyone for participating, It was fun and more work than I originally planned (don't know what I would of did if I got 40 entries).

Don't worry bud. Your high quality calling will mean that I kill the bigger bulls this year in WA and MT, and that's all that matters. I'm hoping I can call you in a few raghorns sweetheart. ;)
