Hi Fellows,

I think there are different kinds of predator hunters:

The Callers: These are the guys that carry those neat lanyards that hold a dozen different calls. They can squeek, squeel, grunt, howl, growl, like nobody's business. They're not happy until the Yote jumps in the blind with them to sing a duet. Occasionally found in compromising positions with their quarry. Police frequently are called to their home when new calls arrive and are tuned.

The Snipers: These guys have the high speed low drag stuff. Their closet has seven gillie suits in seasonal patterns. They own three blinds, and keep bales of straw in the garage. They have 22cal to 6.5 mm cartridge chambered in their bull barreled rifles, and the scopes double as secondary star gazing equipment at observatories.

The Specialist: Usually a hybrid between the Caller and Sniper. As the name implies, specializes in a particular predator. Usually can id predator by sense of smell. Camoflage is not as diverse as Sniper's due to specific constraints of their specialty. Calls are likewise limited to their specific quarry. Maintains large stock of attractant urine in personal fridge in man cave; usually right next to preferred beer.

The Longhunter: Dressed in buckskins or a rifleman�s smock, the Longhunter will carry a traditional muzzleloader, tomahawk, scalping knife and possibles bag. In addition to the requisite Flintlock, the Longhunter will carry everything required to survive an extended period of time in the wilderness. Obviously, they eat coyotes, foxes, and bobcats.

Those are the Predator Hunters that I know, what kinds have you met?

Don't forget the blasters....the guys sitting up in a shooting house or deer stand and blast whatever bobcat or fox that trotts by....and then of course get it mounted.

yep. those guys drive me crazy
 
This is awesome. You left out the "Poser" variety, as you should have. These guys have all the gear, all the talk, and little else.

Great post.

Whats wrong with that? Hope I get a fox this year.
 
LungBuster,

I think, like any other hunting, those folks that partake of predator hunting as a specialty, find the incidental take of a predator to be, ummm, kinda like cheating!

You have to put your hours in they would say. You must master the calls and placing yourself into a set.

All very intensive and time consuming as you might imagine.

I've thought that it was very much like chess, easy to learn, but a lifetime to master.

Yep I was just stirring. Ill pop a cat fox or dog while deer hunting but Ill mess with them before taking them out. I learned to make a squeal with my mouth a few years back and have been able to call in several cats and coyotes. We have cows with calves on our farm so any time you have a gun and see a yote it goes down.
 
LB,
I here you. Any of us that raise livestock have to do what is neccesary within legal limits to protect or animals. Of course, I take extra steps to avoid having to kill unneccesarily, but I do what I need to do.

I hope to be able to take up Yote and coon hunting when I get up there. I have a soft spot for possums, so they are safe! But the idea of setting up and calling yotes in is very appealing to me and I am looking forward to the opportunity. I also am into the whole skinning and tanning hides, even if I'll never do anything with them but hang them up! (and make a hat or two!)
