Thats a heck of a plan you got there Bill :yoyo:  Kurtis blows a call as good as anyone I know and if I had him up here I would probably embarass myself with all the miss's.  Hope you don't have to turn like 1400 of them but if you do let me know and I'll send wood.

Bill,

This is a great thing to do for the kids (except that one named Jim C.) and Kurtis is having a good time with that call.  Since this is NOT a competition, it seems like there should be many more posted by the end of the month.

I try to find a low spot or someplace with lots of cover when we are hunting and he is calling
I am sure he will grow out of that,I hope

Title: Re: Kids Calling Contest
Post by: pitw on April 11, 2009, 04:13:34 PM
The first one wouldn't play all the way for me :shrug:  In the second one I can see and hear why you'd have to chase him down for the crow call :laf:  If I get a hold of it you may have to chase a mite further.  Good stuff :yoyo:
Title: Re: Kids Calling Contest

It sure is fun to watch Logan.  Each blow on the call his eyes go closed.  Looks like he is having fun and that is a VERY good thing.  Tell him to keep up the good work.

These kids are good enough that I wouldn't want to go up against any of them in a calling contest.

Title: Re: Kids Calling Contest
Post by: pitw on April 14, 2009, 08:44:27 AM
Thats some good calling going on in here.   Love to see younguns learning and playing with the calls.  If everyone had ecallers I don't think this thread would mean quite as much :shrug:
Title: Re: Kids Calling Contest
Post by: LORDDAL on April 15, 2009, 04:03:18 PM
hey Barry Logan and I do have an Ecall but we find we get alot more responses to our custom calls than our ecall plus buyin him new calls everyonce in a while will hopefully keep him interested in huntin and fishin with ole dad and out of the drugs and junk that are runnin rampant across the nation thats my hope at least I hope he will always want to go callin and huntin and fishin and the like I know if I hadnt been introduced to huntin and fishin when I was young who knows how I would of turned out........................... yeah ok Jim I know Im nuts so I will save you having to point that fact out besides I got papers to prove it  :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: now comeo n fellas got to get some more younguns on video lets see some callin they have all done great so far Id be proud to hunt with any one of them going to be a fine bunch of hunters  :yoyo:

Well if that wasn't more fun than picking your nose with a 2x4.  The boys heard about the contest and had to give it a go so first Don[8] and I went out and he did the calling.  Had one coyote coming in from 800yds but also 5 mule deer were sneaking up behind him and when he saw them he did that whisper thing "Dad theres deer here" and there was but the coyote sure turned around.

(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh145/pitw75/videos/th_playingwithvideo007.jpg) (http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/hh145/pitw75/videos/?action=view&current=playingwithvideo007.flv)

Then a couple days later Bob[11] and I went and tried a stand along an open field with bush at our back.  Never saw a thing except magpies and robins.  Heard a critter go through the bush behind us but didn't see it.   

(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh145/pitw75/videos/th_playingwithvideo.jpg) (http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/hh145/pitw75/videos/?action=view&current=playingwithvideo.flv)

This is all I have to take videos with and the learning curve on this was painful to say the least.

They played for me and the boys did a good enough job that I moved two more spaces DOWN the calling ladder.  Tell them they did a great job.
