What would you guys think about having a calling contest on FNF?
Something like Video only and have classes like latex,open reed, closed reed, howling, distress...ect
Do it just for fun and maybe try and figure a way to make some money for the FNF bank while we are at it. we would need to put a time limit on the vid. so everyone could compete, cel phones will do 15 sec. and we all know someone who has one.
If we do this, I need help..I do not have a lot of time and I dont want to screw this up so if someone wants to kick off a first draft of it. Go for it.......I think it would be fun........what do you all think?
that would be a great idea IMO , I woulld love to hear what some other fellers out there sound like.
alscalls,
Your idea sounds good, at least in theory. I don't know how good the sound will be after recording it through my itty bitty microphone on my midget cell phone. I will have my wife record one for me and test it. :wink:
its just for fun Cronk, Here is one of mine..........

you can use some digital cameras for a short vid too.....The key is to not post a 10 min video some of us are still on dial up.
Mostly we want to set the rules and look for ideas to raise $$ for the FNF bank.
I have no way of doing this ,, can I sand I DVD to someone and they can get it online for me??
cell phone??? what dat be
I can get it to DVD or maybe a camera memory card , but I don't think my computer can handle any video
I am high speed but I don't think i have what's need in it
"cell phone??? what dat be"
---------------------------------
Big George,
You have dial phones out your way yet? :roflmao: Just teasing ya George, please don't whip my arse. The "Cell" phone is what we call cellular telephones now. Those little bitty things that have buttons so small that I can't read the numbers without my glasses. Glasses! That reminds me of what happened yesterday. My neighbor has this big ole dog, I mean REAL big. Yesterday I saw a turd in their yard that was huge, I mean REALLY huge, even for THAT dog's turd standards. It was right next to my property line fence, so I walk over to look at the huge turd. I knelt down for a closer look, and it definitely said something on it. I had to go back in my house to get my reading glasses, because I can't read shit without my glasses.
alscalls,
That is a real nice video, and the howl would fool a coyote for certain. I'm gonna do a little testing with my digital camera now.
Rich, I got a beeper :confused: :confused: when did these celly phone dodad come around. :biggrin:
Na rich I gave in my cell phone when I stopped working ,,you know, I lived by that dam thing at one time and now i don't even like to here them ring...
My truck has 2 signs in it 1 saying ( NO FAT CHICKS) and the other Saying ( NO CELL PHONES))and defiantly no fat chick on cell phones
I even canceled my cell phone that built in to my truck,,
so i am back to the old days if my city needs me they turn on the bat light and i come running
Sure why not, I'm not a real predator caller but I can make sounds out of my calls :laf:
real predator caller
Dont cut your self short buddyboy you as real as any of us :yoyo:
ok maybe noT AS REAL AS GLENN GUESS :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
I am going to try to get somthing on tape this weekend with sound for my entry
:roflmao: Same here, gonna do some practice runs with the camera just to see how the sounds turn out.
I'm gonna have Guess record me something & whip y'all!! :laugh2: :laugh2:
I done cant find my cronk white lightning. I usually put a grunt tube on the end and use it for howling, I'm also missing my green crow call. :confused: :wo:
KIDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cronk makes whiskey,.......and nobody told me :shrug: what da hell is up with that :roflmao:
Hamer we will need a video clip with witnesses no lip sinking from the fox pro buddy :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Whats the time frame here and when is this thing gonna start I might try and do something
ok my test, didn't work ,, so i need to find a canra with sound....
Al, what kinda sounds and who is the judge.
I'm sure we can talk Jimbo into a vote posted to determine the winners....So we would all be the judge I just need some Ideas on some ground rules from you guys first then I will make a draft from it and post a what do ya think of it and you guys can look it over before we start. Just for fun..bragging rights only....and I would love to raise some money for the bank but I am not sure how.......Sounds?.......My guess would be Howling, distress, .........Sub catagories would be up to you guys...
I need opinions right now on how you want it.
You dont want too many categories IMO. How bout Howling, pup distress, and open/your choice.
Let the winner carry a tag under his handle FnF call master and have braggin rights ?
Set a poll so the masses can vote who they like the best.
Really not sure on the $$$ part, maybe a small entry fee ?
Set it up like the fishing contest, the caller starts his own thread with his call entries so they're not all togehter on one ?
edited after thinking... lol
Al, The contest sounds like it would be fun. I don't think you could ever have a fair, unbiased contest on this board, but it would be neat to hear the sounds other guys make on their howlers and distress calls. Good luck and I hope you can make it come together.

Interesting comment. If not Fnf, what board do you suggest would give us a fair and unbiased contest?

How about having one person that can post the sound clips. That way the identity of the caller is not revealed to everyone until the votes have been counted? :wo:
Just a thought.
Semp, if the actors are known I don't think you could have a fair contest on any board. Normally at orginized compatitions the contestants are usually behind a wall or curtain so the judges have no idea who is making all the racket.
Rprince might be onto something.

I like this idea. It keeps it from being a popularity contest. Just remember it's for fun.
You'd need a mic and recording program, other than that sounds good.
Wasnt there a contest before run like this ? Someone collected all the calls ... :wo:
IIRC, that in the past, each contestant sent their sound to Jim or a moderator THO Al who posted the sound as a number. Then everyone voted for the number of the sound they liked best in a category. No one knows who the number belongs to until the winner is decided by the number of votes.
At least I think that is the way it was done in the past. I agree no contest is going to be 100% fair but that is as close as we are likely to get unless someone can think of a better way. :wo:
edited: I now remember it was THO Al who handled the contest.
THO took care of the last calling rounds we had. They were annonymous, he put numbers to them and there was still some controversy. Not on THO's part though. A contestant was involved.
Video would definately prove the caller was submitting his sounds. Put a set of rules into the videoing, caller must wear a face mask :laf: And not have a shirt on with his or her name on it :laf:
Just a couple thoughts...Whatever you all come up with I'd like to play along, If I may..
JD
Yes we had a calling contest earlier sponsered by THO he collected the sounds and then posted them in a thread with #'s and then open board vote and only then were the winners names were known
I like the idea of sending a video link, wearing a mask or something just cuz I dont have a computer mic and I'm dont plan on buying one. But thats just me.
:laf: :laf: @ Bill!!
Nice suggestions and it is just for fun...........Jimbo, I would like to hear your thoughts :confused:
alscalls,
I have been unable to figure out how to transfer my video clip to the computer. Since a couple of other fellows have suggested that the identity of a contestent should not be known, maybe it would be better to simply post links to audio recordings rather than bother with the video version?
The confusion last time was that my first entry to pup distress contest was disputed. I think I made the mistake of giving my sound to a guy I thought was a friend. This "friend" then passes my sound to a well known feller. My "friend" claims the sound was his own personal recording and the sound gets posted on a popular website. I am not a computer guru by any means, and I have never copy righted anything, so I got screwed. Anyway, the matter was cleared up when I made a new recording to submit. Rest assured that any of my future online contest sounds will be heard at the contest before anyone else does. They will be genuine, hot off the press recordings.
THO managed the contest sounds last time, and he did an honest job. I would trust him to do the next one if he is willing.

+1
I can still record sound on my camera and I think load it up to a .wmv or some type of audio file. :yoyo:
And... if that doesnt work, I'll borrow a mic from someone in the family.
another vote again for THO on a job well done. I got to vote in the last one, but didnt have any way to record my own sounds.
The last calling contest I gave away just over a half dozen calls
ended up in the middle of the Cronk Weedwacker controversy
ended up in the middle of yet another controversy weather someone used a sound from a calling CD as their sound
pissed off a bunch of call makers who felt slighted their calls were not accepted for the prizes
got accused of stiffing people on the calls they won
and then spent close to 100 bucks overnighting the calls I gave away to the individuals concerned.
Thanks, but I think I will pass
The Dork
I know just what to do........I will post it soon :wink:
