Regular readers to The Wildlife Callers’ Blog know that routine scouting has been a huge part of our success in calling mountain lions.  Before we spend a lot of time mountain lion calling in a particular area, we use trail cameras to find out if an area is getting frequent cougar activity.  These cameras are also part of our scouting arsenal for Coues Whitetail and Elk. 

We’ve had great luck with the infrared flash DLC Covert trail cameras, believe other people will too, so we became a distributor.  They have a fast 1.2 second or faster trigger, take excellent 5mp photos and up to 60 seconds of video.  We’re offering these great little cameras as a single unit and in a money saving twin-pack.  To see specs on these battery-friendly, compact cameras in our store, just click on the photo, or CLICK HERE.  As of this blog post we have them in stock and ready for immediate delivery.

There is another compact game camera that caught our attention as well.  Wildgame Innovations has taken some of their best & time-tested trail cam technology and put it in a much smaller case.  (more…)

Arizona Outdoors-AZG&FD Video Shows

Wildlife Callers wants to share the variety of outdoor experiences available in Arizona.  The AZG&F Dept. has put together a string of shows called Arizona Wildlife Views, covering a variety of outdoor opportunities in the state we call home.

 

The video clips are approximately 30 minute spots showcasing hunting and fishing opportunities, as well as a variety of projects and some of the programs the state of Arizona offers. Residents and non-residents alike benefit from the AZG&FD programs to improve the experience for the outdoor enthusiast. We hope you will take some time to watch the videos available.

We know this isn’t one of our usual posts, but every now and then it’s good to branch out and share what the state has to offer and feature other outdoor experiences.  (more…)

Scouting + Calling = Wildlife Photography Results

This is part 2 of Chad Messa’s guest post here at Wildlife Callers.  Chad talks about the importance of scouting and using animal calls to get his photos. This information hopefully will help our readers in their own pursuit of that one great wildlife photo shot!  This information also applies to hunting predators as well. 

 

Photographing wildlife is very similar to hunting, although I sometimes have to get closer and be a lot more patient. This is because I have to get more than just one shot of a given animal.

I like to be anywhere from 20 to 30 yards away. This gives me the opportunity to get a good tight photograph of that animal for cover shots. When good action shots are needed I try to stay a little farther away.

The single most important lesson I can give is this, learn about the species you are going to photograph, read all you can about that species before you even attempt to go out and photograph them.

Learn when they are breeding, what their diet consists of, and when they are most active.
