The Langley family did very well
at the 2017 World Elk Calling
Championships held in Salt Lake
City, Utah, on Saturday, March 18.
Bryan Langley, who works as the Tribe’s Higher Education manager,
won the Professional Division for the third time while his daughter,
Moriah, won the Pee Wee Division, besting her brothers Gavin and
Abram, who took second and fifth, respectively. Tribal member Matt
Lux, who won the Oregon State Elk Calling Championship, did not make
it out of the preliminaries of the Professional Division, which had 22
competitors. “The competition was pretty stiff,” Bryan Langley said.
Langley also won the men’s division in 2009. Seventy-eight contestants
competed in six different divisions turning the championships.
