Testimonials

"While there are a lot of resources and expert callers out there, I don’t believe there is another individual out there that covers everything the way Michael Batease and his Elk Calling Academy (ECA) does as comprehensively as he does when it’s all said and done. Michael offers access to pre-recorded videos and Wapiti Live Q&A that focuses on topics such as e-scouting, shot placement, reading the wind/thermals, and obviously calling among other things. When it comes to calling, he puts a huge emphasis on knowing more than just how to make the sounds, he focuses on what each sound truly means and I believe that makes all the difference when you finally find yourself in a real elk encounter in the woods." - Joe C

"Before starting Elk Calling Academy I had struggled through numerous instructional videos and apps trying to learn basic calls. It was clear I needed a coach. By the third week of joining ECA I had made 10x the progress of trying to self teach. If you want to learn calling, hunting strategy, eScouting, and even a little about life, I would whole heartedly recommend joining ECA and working one-on-one with Michael." - Anthony T.
