Earl....so many distress calls will be pulled from a hat  ie rabbit, bird, squirrel, rat, mouse, fawn whatever is pulled

The contestant will then have an allotted time frame to use their calls (no electronic calls obviously) whistles, lips, and manual means to make their sounds and will be judged by a panel for a score.

Hope that helps

Shawn

Where was this decided?  No talk about the rules in the officer forum.

Actually, there is NOTHING about this in the officers forum.

I apologize...I thought you were questioning as to why the officers werent making the calling rules.

basically we will be following the same rules as the World calling comp....one of the reasons we decided to make it distress division, coyote vocalization division, and combination overall champ.  is so the callers dont get confused if competing on both state and world levels

maybe because they are not 100% written in stone yet....I was merely answering Earls question as to how it works.
