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

Posted March 8, 2010 By Mark Healy and has 16 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…)

Predator Calling, Wildlife Callers, The ISE and Mark Healy in the News-AZ East Valley Tribune

Posted February 20, 2010 By Mark Healy and has 3 comments.

Ed Taylor from the East Valley Tribune wrote a very fair depiction of predator calling and hunting in this weeks Trib. His write-up also discussed Wildlife Callers LLC as a new/local business in Arizona, and featured the upcoming International Sportsman’s Expo Predator Calling Expert Panel being held Saturday February 27, at 1:30pm.

The article was a mix of local event, sports, outdoors, business, and new product reporting. With all of the negative reporting on hunting in general, and the fact that many reporters would have become fixated on the look of my rifle, we appreciate Mr. Taylor’s objective reporting on our sport.

You can thank him via email at etaylor@aztrib.com or by clicking on his name at the top of the article.

Comments & Questions are always welcome!

Good calling,

Coyote Howling Techniques – Northern Iowa Callers Jim and Justin Blauwet Turn the Tables on Wary Dogs

Posted February 12, 2010 By Mark Healy and has 1 comment.

You’ve just dropped a bunch of money on a new caller. People around town tell you that the local coyotes just won’t come to a call anymore – “they’ve all heard a call a dozen times”. What do you do? Jim and Justin Blauwet use coyote vocalizations and leave the screaming rabbit sounds alone. Here’s their tactic that’s worked several times.

If a regular dog comes a runnin’ when it hears a can opener in the kitchen (a conditioned response), then it stands to reason that a coyote can also be conditioned by fooling it with a prey distress call, and then allowing it to barely escape with it’s life amid a hail of bullets.

That lucky coyote might still come to investigate a screamin’ rabbit sound, but the chances of it running in full-blast time and again are diminished with every negative encounter or impression – simple conditioning. Because of Mother Nature’s mixed message – sometimes the screamin’ sound is natural and associated with food – sometimes the screamin’ comes with smelly lumps of camouflage shaped like humans and loud bangs from predator rifles – coyotes naturally become conditioned to be cautious.

Justin Blauwet and His January Iowa Coyote

Using their new Wildlife Technologies Mighty Atom 15 electronic predator call, the Blauwet’s have called several of the “uncallable” coyotes. If you own Other Brands of Predator Callers you most likely have a series of sounds that will allow you to recreate this sequence.

Here’s how they do it:

Coyote Finesse – Dave Martens and Dan Tone Turn the Volume Down and Nail This Pair

Posted January 28, 2010 By Mark Healy and has 3 comments.

Dave Martens of Wildlife Callers Blog and his buddy Dan Tone of Apache Junction, Arizona teamed up for a day of mixed-bag predator calling just after our last heavy rain and snow storm. Two coyotes and one gray fox later, they’d had a great morning.

Dave and Dan figured they’d find some hungry & willing predators after five-days of hard rain and snow throughout the state. They headed into Arizona’s Unit 23 and in four wet & muddy stands, called in two coyotes and one gray fox. The coyotes pictured below both came right to the speaker in under five minutes. The gray fox came in super-quick too, stayed in tight cover, and ran out just as quick as he’d arrived.

The project for the day was to set up in good locations, keep the volume down, and see what some quiet calling would do. Dave kept the volume on his Wildlife Technologies Mighty Atom at 1, 2, and 3 all of these stands.

Here is his calling sequence in more detail: (more…)

Nice Bobcat Down and a Response to a Pair of Sounds Most Callers Wouldn’t Expect

Posted January 22, 2010 By Mark Healy and has 2 comments.

One of our Arizona blog readers & veteran predator caller, Danny Avey, reads several of our posts about sounds & tactics, gives the techniques a try and calls this 28lb female bobcat in Southern Arizona. He openly shares his tactics and sound list with other readers.

We’d like to thank Danny for the open and candid way he shared his story and tactics. We hope these tips work for you too.

Danny was hunting near the Arizona/Mexico border (US side). He was calling for a mixed bag of predators, and although he wanted to call up some bobcats or a lion, he was perfectly happy chasing coyotes. About a half-hour before dark on a still & clear afternoon, this bobcat arrived on his stand. Two shots from his .223 dropped the cat 12 steps from his Wildlife Technologies KAS-2030-ML.
