Calling

Postby Gselkhunter » 05 22, 2014 •  [Post 1]

For those of you that don't know I was on the pro staff for Hunter's Specialties for a bunch of years. I have a few calling titles under my belt and every year I offer my services to help people learn to be better callers. I am willing to do this one more time in June. Anybody interested? Lets set a date. No I do not charge, I don't sell calls. I work with you and your stuff to make you a better caller.

No way Friday, I have dibs on him if he comes up that way, LOL.

Seriously, if anybody wants to improve their calling skills, GS is the best I personally know for helping with instructions on the "how to do it". He has helped me out for past few years or so and has raised my game to a higher level. That, coupled with Elknut's teachings of elk language interpretation, is helping me become an elk nightmare....... 8-)

So with 2 weeks to go I would like to get a feel for who is coming. Couple of points:
Small apartment bring a camp chair, we will squeeze in. We will grill after we are done so if you wish to bring something I will have hamburgers and hot dogs. So potato salad, buns and so on would be good. Parking will be out on the street but there is room.
Where will we be:
1501 Hartford St Apt B
Colo. Spgs. CO 80906
See how many can read maps?
Don't forget your calls.

I am in Arvada and I am a seasoned hunter/caller. I would love to bring my 15 year old son I am hoping that we will learn some new tricks so he can call my elk in for me and I am not always the one calling. So if you have room for 2 more we would love to join up. I am happy to bring some soda/beer or anything else you might want.

Too old to be photogenic Paul. I am sure someone will be recording and that is bad enough. Good thing Rory won't be here he would insist that it all be on tape.
Muzzle man come join us. I really have no clue how many will show. I just know it is going to happen.

Thank you very much for hosting this gathering today! Excellent food, excellent calling demo and we learned a lot.

Travis, thank you so much for donating the calls. They were a big hit and very much appreciated.

Muzzleman, thank you having J and I over to shoot after the shindig. Let's do it again soon and often. I will give you a call to set up something once I get my new rest installed this week.

Just wanted to thank GSelkhunter again for hosting this gathering and appreciate meeting some elknuts from the forum. Also, Travis came through with some calls for everyone so much thanks!

I came away with many interesting tidbits and have some new things to practice . For me, watching someone produce some of the elk sounds i'm working on is much more beneficial than hearing an example or having someone explain....two more months til the season....i'll be bugling this year for sure. Thks again everyone!
