San Carlos Indian Reservation Electronic Predator and Other Game Animal Calling

San Carlos is a spectacular place to hunt, both in terms of the scenic views and the variety of predators you can call there.  But, is it legal to use your electronic caller on their reservation?

 

As of this Wildlife Callers blog post (May 2010) it is NOT legal to use an electronic call to call/attract any animals with an electronic call on the San Carlos Reservation. 

San Carlos Indian Wildlife & Recreation Regulation 002-M

 You can access the regualtion by CLICKING HERE and then choosing “Regulations” on the left margin.

 

Yes, some of the rules and regs on San Carlos have changed often and this one is no exception.  However, better to know the current rules and either use hand calls, or go somewhere else.  I’ve hunted on San Carlos for the past 24 years and I will be headed elsewhere until it changes back.  Dave Martens and I have spent thousands of dollars in permit fees on San Carlos and we’re not sure what they’re trying to accomplish with this rule.   Hopefully it will change soon, but until it does the hand calling crowd will have it all to themselves!!

San Carlos has also been a hot hunting spot for out of state hunters looking for lots of ground to hunt and reasonable daily rates for predator calling and small game hunting.  If you know an out of stater that likes predator calling and hunting on San Carlos, please pass this blog post along.  The San Carlos Game & Fish guys have always been great with us, but they absolutely will ticket violators and confiscate your caller.

Flextone Mimic eH1 Handheld Predator & Game Call Now at Wildlife Callers’ Store

At under $40 bucks, the Flextone Mimic eH1 predator call is preloaded with 40 sounds from the Wildlife Technologies Sound Library and is now part of what Wildlife Callers’ Store can offer readers and customers for this upcoming predator hunting season. 

The new Flextone callers (handheld eH1 and remote controlled eR1) are loaded with other hunting sounds too.  Where it’s legal, you can use them for calling deer, calling crows, calling hogs & javelina, calling squirrels, and more. 

You can see both Flextone callers and their sound lists by CLICKING HERE or on the picture below.

The Flextone Mimic eH1 and the Echo eR1

Every hunter’s budget is different, especially in these uncertain times.  So, to bridge the gap between not having but wanting an electronic predator caller and eventually owning a high-end remote controlled do-all Mighty Atom predator calling workhorse, Wildlife Callers’ Store now offers the Flextone Mimic eH1 for just under $40 bucks.  The Mimic is one half of Flextone’s new e-caller line up.  Flextone is also coming out with a remote controlled unit called the Echo eR1

These callers are a direct result of the demand for selections from the Wildlife Technologies Sound Library on quality machines that more guys can afford – your ideas in action. 

Field Note:

On our first stand with the Mimic eH1, Marc Reindell of Wildlife Callers called 2 coyotes.  The coyotes came out of a drainage near a large prairie just outside of Flagstaff, AZ.  One arrived at about 30 seconds into the stand and number 2 arrived at about 3 minutes.  Does the Flextone Mimic eH1 work?  Yes. 

If you still have a question about this caller, please send it in – info@wildlifecallers.com or give us a call toll-free at 1-877-734-1010

Thank you again for reading and good hunting!

Color Phase Black Bear Called and Taken In Idaho

Tom Sorenson of Base Camp Legends contacted us about a Black Bear he called in on a cool spring day in the mountains of Idaho.  This is a nice color phase bear, Tom and his wife had been scouting this area for a few weeks prior to calling this beauty.

Tom Sorenson and his color phase Black Bear called in.

 Tom lives in Weiser, ID and called this bear less than an hour from his home. Idaho does not allow the use of electronic game callers for big game, including bear and mountain lion. He used a Primos Hyper Lip Cow Call to call the bear.  Tom and his wife took up predator calling about a year ago or so, looks like they are catching on pretty quick! 

Below is an excerpt from Tom’s story:

“ The game plan was much the same as the previous week – lots of hiking and glassing, and lots of calling. Predator calling was something we’d started last year and in all the sets we’d had yet to call in a bear – call that a bit of foreshadowing. I don’t know the exact score, but I’d imagine it was somewhere around 30 sets and no bears. For the record, those are pretty bad odds. But the law of averages says that we were due.” (more…)
