Title: Predator Calls
Post by: The norm on December 30, 2020, 10:15:19 PM
Hey there fellas,  I am looking in to the world of coyote hunting with my sons. Do any of you fine gentlemen coyote hunt? If so what is your favorite call and why?.
Thanks and have a safe new year!

I will be using an AR15 that I built. 24" match grade stainless steel bull barrel with a 4-16x44 vortex scope. I am still working up a hunting load for it. The bullet I hope to use will be either a hornady 75g boat tail hollow point or the hornady 75g ELD match

I have some running around. Come take your pick. Haven't tried calling them. I heard good things about the icotec. I have been reading that pup yelps work better than animal distress calls.

Going out hog hunting today.

Texas has a thing against feral hogs. You can hunt them without a license, from a helicopter, at night with thermal vision. You can eradicate. There is not much public land, so you have to get permission. Lots of farmers that are happy to let people come hunt their property.

I have a little bit of property. I hunt for harvest, not to eradicate. We did get a small boar today. Probably not appropriate to post picts, so I'll refrain.

They are are a night animal, so I have invested in night vision... But my friend brought a thermal monocular. That thing is awesome. I am going to have to look changing over to thermal

Any time you are in the area, hit me up. We can do some hog hunts.

I am going to have to start looking at trying to get coyotes. Neighbor told me told the coyotes got one of the baby deer. I kinda like having deer around.

The coyote population is growing around my property and we love to have deer around our house. It is frustrating to see a coyote chase a fawn from your yard mid day. Hence the interest in a predator call.... Jason if you still have my number feel free to text me any hog pictures you have...
