BHA’s Backcountry Bugling Classic

BHA’s Backcountry Bugling Classic is a digital elk calling competition designed to bring our community together, to have fun and to give the best elk callers among us the chance to win great prizes throughout the competition.

To participate, reach out to your chapter leaders and submit your name and Instagram handle by Aug. 7. Only 8 competing callers will be allowed per chapter, so act fast if you’re interested.  

Be sure to watch all chapter level calling rounds and vote for your favorite caller by tuning into each chapters' Instagram page starting on Aug. 10. Then, join us on Aug. 18 as the regional and North American championship rounds move to our main Instagram page where callers will be judged by our special guests.
