DPMS Panther Arms Comes to Wildlife Callers’ Store!

Posted March 30, 2010 By Mark Healy and has 1 comment.

Wildlife Callers is glad to announce it’s newest relationship with one of the world’s largest manufacturers of AR style rifles, parts, and accessories – DPMS Panther Arms!

As AR style rifles gain tremendous popularity in predator hunting, it was a natural move for us to seek a selling partnership with DPMS. While at the 2010 World Predator and Hunting Expo we met with Shane Cuperus in the Black Cat Express and secured the deal. We use and recomend the DPMS rifle lineup without hesitation. We’re glad to have their products on our website & in our store.

The DPMS line of rifle uppers and products is extensive! It will take us several days to get all of the products we’ll need in our store to properly represent the depth of what DPMS offers the modern shooter and predator hunter.

Access the current DPMS upper barrel assemblies in our store by clicking here. More will be added soon.

Upper assemblies for AR rifles allow you to get the most from any standard AR rifle you already own. Whether you’re looking for an optics ready A3 Flattop style .204 Ruger for your predator rig, or a tactical upper for home defense, we can provide just what you need.

DPMS barrel assemblies are “pin & shoot” easy to install and cost a fraction of a complete new rifle. You can have DPMS precision, reliability, and style without breaking the bank in the process.

To see details on the upper assembly pictured below, click here.

As of today we can offer every barrel assembly, attachment, accessory, and AR part that is not restricted by a Federal Firearms License (FFL) or “Law Enforcement Only” restrictions. If you have been looking for a DPMS upper assembly and don’t see it on our site, call us toll-free for a quote at 1-877-734-1010 or email us at info@wildlifecallers.com

We will not ship internationally, and at this time we are not shipping DMPS barrels and accessories to New York and New Jersey.

Can Wildlife Callers get you a complete DPMS rifle?

Not right now. We will find an authorized DPMS dealer in your area for you to buy a complete rifle.

We are weighing benefits against the headaches of having an FFL. We’ll eventually make a decision on how we’re going to proceed. If we decide to obtain our Federal Firearms License, you’ll be the first to know!

Thank you all again for reading and buying from Wildlife Callers – you are the hunting and outdoor recreation community that made this new addition possible.

Your comments are always appreciated.

Best regards and good hunting!

At 2pm today (March 19, 2010) the Predator Expo opened to predator callers & hunters from all around Ohio and the Eastern US. We’re looking for outstanding products to bring our readers and there’s no shortage of them here. Many of the industry’s manufacturers and distributors came from all over the country to display their gear.

We’re in booth 415 on the main aisle showing off the Wildlife Technologies Mighty Atom MA-15 and MA-21 models, and The Gun Claw.

The Deer and Turkey Expo is happening at the Ohio Expo center this same weekend, and we’re expecting the foot traffic in the Predator Expo to be great on Saturday and Sunday. If you have the opportunity to meet us at the show, we’re looking forward to seeing you.

Thank you again for reading,

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

International Sportsman’s Expo Predator Calling Panel – Full Seats & Lots of Questions!

Posted March 5, 2010 By Mark Healy and has 3 comments.

The first-ever predator calling panel at an International Sportsman’s Expo was a huge success. The seats filled up quickly and there was no shortage of questions for panelists. Predator hunting is on an upswing! Here’s a quick recap:

The Wildlife Callers' Crew - Marc Reindell, Dave Martens, and Mark Healy

This past weekend at the University of Phoenix Stadium, thousands of fishermen, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts from around Arizona and neighboring states turned out for the Phoenix International Sportsman’s Expo. Three hundred vendors from around the world were on hand to show & sell their products, offer advice, and entertain the Expo guests with various breakout sessions. Predator calling was a very popular breakout session and we’re hoping to offer it in future ISE events.

The world-renowned predator hunter, author, and calling veteran, Gerry Blair, was in good spirits and entertained the audience with his quick wit & humor. When asked about scent control on a predator calling stand, he said hunters need to pay attention to their downwind side at all times and take a shower at least once every seven days. Sage advice from an industry original! (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.

You can view the entire article by clicking here

Wildlife Callers LLC, Mark Healy & The Wildlife Technologies Mighty Atom 21

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.

Anyone interested in learning more about the Wildlife Technologies Mighty Atom 21 caller in the article can click here.

Thank you again for supporting Wildlife Callers and reading our blog. And, a big thank you to Ed Taylor and the East Valley Tribune for covering this story.

Comments & Questions are always welcome!

Good calling,

Mark Healy
