The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation crowned a series of champions at the 25th annual World Elk Calling Championships in Las Vegas March 1-2, and it was a banner weekend for the Jacobsens, the “First Family” of Elk Calling.
Jacobsen family members took first place in the peewee and women’s divisions, and topped the field in the first-ever Champion of Champions competition, an invitational involving previous winners of the professional division.
This was the 25th year of the World Elk Calling championship by RMEF and they invited all previous winners in the Pro division to compete for the Champion of Champions.
There was a three-way tie between Rockie, Corey and Al Morris. They had a bugle off and there was another tie – between father and son, Rockie and Corey, with Corey being crowned Champion that evening at the grand banquet.
