History of Predator Hunting

I would go Javelina hunting with my family. I was very intreged with the distress call my dad had. I loved blowing into it. I started learning more about how and why distress calls are used and I bought my own. I began a passion for hunting calls.

I would go out hunting with my brothers and dad and we would try and call something in but didn't have much luck. After hunting much and putting in some time trying to figure it out it got discouraging because I couldn't seem to call a coyote in. I know now why and its because we were doing it all wrong. We didn't have a clue. I called a buddy that had started having some success and we went out on our first hunt together. He showed me the basic understanding of how to hunt predators. I watched him kill a dog just 15 yards away. I was hooked after that hunt. I still did not have the confidence because had yet to call in a dog. We went on another hunt together and finally I made it happan, I called my first dog in. The more you hunt these critters the better you will get. You will gain experience and knowledge of how to hunt them. Most importantly you will gain confidence which will help you stay persistant.

Now days when I go out and hunt predators I expect to call one in every time and I do.  I also never become comfortable as a predator hunter. In other words I am always seeking to learn more and gain more experience. I am willing to try new things and become better.

This is my first coyote I ever shot and if you look closely the dog is lying at my feet.
