It’s Official! Electronic Calls Legal for Idaho Wolf Hunts.

Posted July 13, 2010 By Mark Healy and has 6 comments.

Idaho wildlife officials announced this past Wednesday evening that electronic game calls and trapping will be legal methods of take during their 2010 wolf hunting season.

With Idaho elk herds in a steady decline and no reasonable recovery in sight, the game commissioners found it a reasonable step to include electronic calls as a wolf hunting method to help reach 2010 wolf harvest objectives. Remember that any action favoring wolf hunting or wolf hunters will face immediate opposition and legal challenges from well funded anti-hunting organizations. We are, however, optimistic that Idaho’s wildlife managers will prevail in moving forward this need based, well documented, biologically sound, action plan for better wolf control in their state.

For more details and commentary, see the article in the Idaho Statesman: Electronic Calls Fair Game in Idaho Wolf Hunts

After taking dozens of phone calls last season from hunters very interested in calling an Idaho wolf (that’s you California hunters!) we’re looking forward to actually being able to deliver them a Wildlife Technologies Mighty Atom caller. Last season we had to turn ‘em down — not so this wolf season! (more…)

Coyote Pair Called on Video – Mouse Squeaks & Crow Sounds Bring ‘em In

Posted June 15, 2010 By Mark Healy and has 2 comments.

While in Chillicothe, Missouri this past January for a few days of coyote and mixed-bag predator calling, I captured this pair of winter coyotes coming to the call.

These coyotes responded in about 7-8 minutes to a mixture of mouse and vole distress squeaks combined with sounds of crows mobbing food and excited crow calling from my Wildlife Technologies Mighty Atom 21 electronic wildlife caller. I’ve used this technique successfully many other times. I play the sounds continuously and vary the volume from medium to medium/loud. Once the predator is spotted coming in, I drop the volume to keep it/them moving toward the speaker.

Unfortunately, the shooter hit the coyote too far back to be immediately effective.

Thank you again for reading and sending us your success photos! We enjoy hearing about the success you’re having in the field. Please feel free to add your comments below.

Flextone Mimic eH1 Now at Wildlife Callers – Plus a Bonus Ohio Squirrel Attack Recreation

Posted May 13, 2010 By Mark Healy and has no comments yet.

The Flextone Mimic eH1 is preloaded with 40 sounds from the Wildlife Technologies sound library and is now part of what Wildlife Callers can offer readers and customers for this upcoming season.

You can see both callers 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 caller and eventually owning a high-end remote controlled do-all field workhorse, Wildlife Callers 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. The eR1 has a June delivery date and we’ll provide more details on that machine as they come out.

In this attached video we discuss some of the questions we’ve received about the new Mimic handheld caller. We also take some satirical license and “recreate” the 911 call from an Ohio family that had to be freed by police after they were “trapped” in their home by a “temperamental” squirrel – yes you read that right – a squirrel. Enjoy…

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

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

We hope you enjoyed the video and always appreciate your comments. Subscriptions to the blog are always free.

Thank you again for reading and good hunting!

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…)

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.
