Calling Practice Thread?

[WapitiTalk1]

On the heels of Troy from Glacier Country Hunting Call's "Tone,Intensity,Pitch" thread, I'm thinking of starting a calling practice thread. This will be much different than the "post up your elk sounds" threads than we've done in the past. I'm not in the ballpark with Troy, GS, Elknut, flystrait, etc., etc., with my calling but can make a few noises and am offering a thread so we can all get our practice on This is my concept:

1. Phase I - I'll post up an elk sound (man made) and fellow elknuts try to mimic it and post up their sound. Comments are encouraged from anybody, including the top notch callers, but it's more about the practice than anything else. This will be a time to give our reeds a workout and try to get various sounds out of them. We'll run this for a while, perhaps throwing up a new sound every few days for a a week or so.

2. Phase II - I'll post up some real elk noise clips and we'll do our best to try and mimic them and post those recordings up. We can run a few of these right up till wapiti season.

3. Phase III - We all call in elk this fall, using what we've practiced and became better at

I know we all can't attend one of Troys, Pauls, or Greggs calling seminars so I thought perhaps this is a good way to practice, and, perhaps get those guys to provide some constructive recommendations on how to improve our calling.

Whaddya you cats think; do you like the concept?

I am In, just received my Chuckler Starter Kit, and I guess I can record my calling on my iPhone (?) digitally and upload them to here?....

I like it! I'm in a panic with all the things I still want to get done before the season so this will help me check one more thing off the list!

Yes sir. I record on my Iphone and send via email, the voice clip to my home email; save file to desktop. From there, it always works to click "upload attachment" in the post window, browse to locate the clip, and then insert.

I'll try to get the first practice sound up tonight gentlemen.

Great idea! This is type of feedback should help us wannabe callers improve fast, like in 30 days (I hope!).
