World Predator Hunting Expo Ohio 2010 – Opens This Friday at 2pm!

Posted March 17, 2010 By Mark Healy and has no comments yet.

Predator hunting product manufacturers, vendors, and predator hunters from around the United States will be descending on Columbus, Ohio this weekend for the second annual World Predator Hunting Expo!

The current vendor list on the site shows more than 65 exhibitors that will be on hand for predator callers to visit!  For a complete exhibitor list CLICK HERE.

Here is a list of the sponsors who helped make this show possible:  2010 Sponsor List

Predator hunting and calling seminars will be held all weekend – Click Here for a list of seminar times and featured speakers.

Mark Healy of Wildlife Callers will be taking the stage in Seminar Room B at 2:30pm on Saturday the 20th to give a one-hour presentation on Mountain Lion Calling Basic & Advanced Techniques – Click on the Video Below for a preview.

We are particularly excited to see DPMS firearms bringing a strong presence to the Predator Expo this year.  They’re coming to the show in style and will have the DPMS Black Cat Express parked inside the Expo Center!

DPMS and Predator Masters Forums have teamed up to provide a Limited Edition “Predator Masters 2010 Coyote Edition” .223 rifle.  Click Here to see & order this beautiful piece of predator hunting equipment.  Orders are being taken through May 1st, 2010 and when they’re gone, they’re gone – don’t be one of the “I regret not ordering one of those…” guys.  Jeff Mock has the information laid out on the PM site – have a look.

I have been using DPMS rifles for the past couple of years with excellent field results.  They build rifles just the way we like ‘em – rugged, reliable, all of what you need, nothing you don’t.  Here are a fine pair of predator trophies taken with a DPMS AP4 .308:

The AP4 is very versatile, packs a heck of a punch, and takes tons of field abuse in stride. We’re looking forward to meeting the DPMS team!

Remember!!  The Ohio Deer and Turkey Expo is happening right next door the same weekend.  Kill two birds with one stone (pun intended) and attend both!

If you make it to the Ohio show, please come see the Wildlife Callers team in booth 415.  We’re going to have the new Mighty Atoms from Wildlife Technologies on hand for demonstrations.  We’re also bringing a supply of Gerry Blair’s Predator Hunting Books that have been autographed by the Beastmaster Gerry Blair himself! 

For an unsigned version click here:  Predator Calling With Gerry Blair

Our autographed supply is limited, so come see us early.

That just about sums it up!!  We’re headed out tomorrow to get set up and hope to see lots of our blog readers at the show.  Again, we’ll be in booth 415 and on the stage at 2:30pm Saturday – please stop by.

Good calling,

Mark Healy

Video Blog – Barking a Coyote to a Stop, Bad Shooting, & Anti-Hunter Comments

Posted March 16, 2010 By Mark Healy and has 7 comments.

In this video blog Mark Healy attempts to bark a coyote to a stop with horrible results.  We’ve analyzed the scenario and believe we know why the coyote hit the afterburners when he heard the bark.  Take a look for yourselves and give us your thoughts. 

We also take a few minutes to read a pair of reader comments from the dozens we’ve received over the last several weeks.  We provide some insight, intellectual analysis, and a rebuttal to each based on professional consultation we solicited from outside the company.

 

We’ve all seen it before.  A called coyote comes running in, the camera guy or the shooter need it to stop for a second or two, and someone barks.  In the dozens of times I’ve done it, the coyote usually pauses just long enough to make a clean shot, or get some photos.  Occasionally, like in this video, the coyote looks like he’s been poked with a cattle prod and getting any shot at the running dog is akin to skeet shooting.

If you click on the video a second time you can view it in full screen at YouTube.  

We are always amazed and amused by the number of people who take time from their day to send us pointless personal attack emails.  Now I know firsthand what Howard Stern meant when he said “Why don’t they just change the channel.  No one is forced to listen to me”.  Although, it would be nice to see a lib wing nut try to make a coherent argument rather than offering a simpleton death wish laced with profanity.  If only…

As always, thank you for stopping in and adding value to the Wildlife Callers Blog!  Better days in the field are what we’re all about.  If this video makes a difference on your next hunt and you bag the coyote, we’ve achieved our goal. 

A big thanks to all of you who’ve added meaningful comments in the past!  New comments can be added below this post.

Much hunting success to everyone,

Mark Healy

Liberal Love Letters From Anti-Hunting Moonbats & Media Manipulated Stooges

Posted March 8, 2010 By Mark Healy and has 20 comments.

We were recently interviewed by two Arizona news papers – The AZ East Valley Tribune and the Arizona Republic.  One story generated mostly positive calls and emails, while the other generated several death threats.   Yep, death threats.  The contrast is worth examining.

  

Miscellaneous Moonbat

 

What’s noteworthy here is not that the news stories are different – there will always be differences from reporter to reporter & editor to editor, and we realize “news” is written for the benefit of the paper and for profitable ad revenues.  What’s most interesting, and somewhat fascinating, is the way some people can be so easily manipulated to homicidal hostility by an article that’s had no independent review. 

When a reader takes the time to send me an email that reads: 

Comment: “I’d F$#&ing shoot you in the head if I saw you in person. You filthy scumbag murderer of non-human life.” 

It’s a safe bet this person has been, and is completely unaware they have been, manipulated.  Remember, this person, armed with nothing more than an unverified story from a newspaper, has just suggested that he/she would commit murder to avenge the death of an animal that was legally hunted, humanely killed, and then consumed as food and preserved as a trophy.  

There were several others emails & postcards like this.  Not one of these windbags had the courage to identify themselves.  These are the morons with “Keep Abortion Legal” and “Meat is Murder” bumper stickers juxtaposed on the back of their Honda hybrids.  

You wonder, are people manipulated by the media?  I’d say alarmingly so, but I’ve put the stories below for your review.  You be the judge. We want to know what you think, please take a moment to comment after you read this! (more…)
