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!

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,

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

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!

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.
