Another secret admirer of Cal's on PM posted that we are again sitting around here telling each how great we are. So why not?? There really is a lot of talent here.
Vic is Vic Carlson,
one of the original "Coyote Gods" and a pioneer of all this internet predator hunting stuff.
Ronnie Robison
is a Goldstaff for Lohman Predator Calls. He has been in the American Hunter twice, Alabama Sportsman, Predator extreme twice. Cover of the 25th anniversary addition of Trapper & Predator Caller, plus a couple of articles and three or four side bars in T & P. Also was invited to judge the NRA first Worlds All-round calling contest were each entrant had to be proficient in calling seven different species. He has appeared in three Lohman videos, and three of their TV shows.
Cal Taylor

Leonard B. is the greatest of all. He even went to Africa and came back with several exotic trophy's to prove it. He is better looking than most great hunters, and he even invented the famous magic mist.

Sounds like the makings of a democratic convention to me.

Anyone who knows me knows why I'm great. [Smile]

Seriously, a lot of talent whose experience and resume's speak for themselves.

Lance, you have an impressive resume. It will not speak for itself. You do it.
Rich Cronk. you have accomplished much since you began calling with Noah. List it. I honestly want to know. The weight of accomplishment of our members will astound the ACCs and the 'yotehunter2000s and quite probably most of us. The hell with anonymity, SHOW ME.
Too bad Les Johnson hasn't registered here. His resume would blow our socks off.

I'll vouch for two out of three. [Smile] WHich two is a matter of opinion.

Most people don't know it, but Noah managed to get two of everything on that ark only BECAUSE of Rich. Cronk was more than happy to help the youngsters get their project up and going. [Smile]

Higgins,

I got nothing. I just write, and Scott says that don't mean much because some guys call coyotes, some guys write about it.

And another thing, is there something to most of us referring to one another by our given first names? Would it show respect and an unwillingness to refer to each other by our slang names??? Or, could it be that we just know so much about one another? Mutual experts, if you will.

Rich Higgins,
My Lord Higgins, do you actually believe that I can remember that long ago? I can tell you that the very first achievement of mine that is written in record books took place in 1969. I was very active in judo at the time, but only had five years or so of training and held brown belt first class (IKYU) when I drove to Des Moines, Iowa and entered the midwestern judo championship. I defeated a black belt from Kansas City and I won the 204 lb championship. During that same tournament, I fought the unlimited heavyweight champion and defeated him also.

In the hunting world, I had the reputation back in the 1970,s and 1980,s of being a guy who bagged his deer every year with bow and arrow. On Oct. 30th, 1985 I arrowed a ten point (eastern count) whitetail buck that is recorded in Pope& Young record book. He measured 171&3/8" Pope and Young points.

Going back a few years now. I got married july 30th, 1960. During that first ten years of marriage, I mostly scratched out a living with hard work and lots of sweat. During mid 1960,s, I learned to weld and so my wages started to climb. Welding was considered a "skilled" type of work back then. When I joined the Police Department in Febr of 1970, I took quite a cut in pay. It was there at the P.D. when I started earning a different type of reputation. Guys down at the cop shop knew that I would be there when things got rough. I can't tell you much about the blood and guts stuff that I was involved in, but I can tell you that I was sued for brutality a time or two.

I believe it was around the early part of the 1980,s when I became intested in calling coyotes. I had read an article in a hunting magazine about Murry Burnham and his calling expertise. I ordered an enclosed reed Burnham brothers fox call right away. A friend down at the cop shop had a 45 rpm record of a screaming cottontail. I borrowed that record and copied the sound over to a cassete tape. One moonlight night after a fresh snow, I borrowed a cheap tape player from one of my kids. My son-in-law Mark Stuart and I took the tape player out to a farm which is about 30 miles north of here. We walked along in shadow of a tree line that bordered an open field. We picked a spot in the shadows of the trees to make our first stand. I walked out into the open field, set the tape player down in the snow about twenty yards from our chosen hidey hole and hit the go button. I had barely made it back to the tree I had picked to stand beside, when a coyote ran full bore out of the tree line and tried to take a bite out of the tape player. Mark bowled him over with a single shot ten gauge. I was hooked for life on coyote calling. Deer hunting was no thrill at all compared to the experience of calling a coyote in close. [Smile]

I remember that the first couple of years that I called coyotes in western Iowa, they came real quick. Most of them came in just like a domestic dog would come to a whistle. Then I started observing that the coyotes were not coming like they once did. I drove down to texas and hunted with Murry Burnham for four days. I told him about how my calling wasn't working as well as it once did. Murry just smiled and said "They teach their young". The hunt with Mr. Burnham was a real honor as well as a learning experience. I will never forget the nice texas bobcat I took while on that hunt.

During my first couple of years of calling, most of my coyotes were called with a Burnham Brothers enclosed reed call, and a small harmonica type of call with cellophane reed that was called a "mini-squeal". It was made of a special plastic called tenite. The mini-squeal was a simple split sticks type. Just two flat sticks of plastic with that cellophane stetched between them. Then I decided that it would be even more of a challenge if I could call coyotes with a call I made myself. My first home made call was from a short length of deer antler that I drilled out and fit a JC products reed in it. The little call brought coyotes in just fine. After that, I decided that I may as well try to make a few calls and sell them. I used to make up a few calls and take them to trapping conventions, bow shoots, black powder shoots and etc. I would set-up a card table, lay out some calls, blow on em to gain attention and that is how I got started in call making hobby.

I can't remember what year that I went to the N.T.A. convention, but I have it written down and filed in my steel file cabinet. I believe it was in mid to late 1980's. I rented a booth inside one of the dealer's buildings, because it was raining cats and dogs outside. An old trapper stopped by my booth, and he wanted one of those cow horn howlers realy bad but didn't really want to shell out the bucks. He sat and talked for probably over an hour. He told me that he lived in Arkansas, but trapped down in texas all winter. He told of the thousands of acres behind locked gates which he had the keys to. He spoke of trapping and snaring coyotes for the live market. He told of live trapping bobcats with use of live roosters for attracter. I told the old boy that I would flat GIVE him a howler for free if he would invite me to stay at his trapping camp, and do a little calling down in texas. He agreed, and the old boy drew me a map which directed me to his trapping camp. My trip down to that trapping camp was the beginning of my glory days of texas, and it's many virgin eared coyotes.

Wayne Soper was a mountain of a man. Something over six feet tall and probably weighed over 300 pounds. His trapping camp was a rented farm house in Collingsworth county, Texas. He shared the camp with trapping legend Monte Dodson. Monte had not yet travelled from his Oklahoma home to get settled into the trapping camp for the winter, so it was just old Wayne Soper and I out there for a few days. Wayne taught me how to snare coyotes in the CRP fields, how he built his live traps for bobcat and how he setup the live traps with live roosters. To say that Wayne was a gold mine of trapping knowledge would be an under statement. He gave me a clock that he had made for me out of a #4 Victor longspring. I still have that clock. Wayne was killed in a traffic accident that same winter, and I inherited the keys to all of those locked gates on his texas trapline.

You started this thread because of a post on PM.
Why did you drag ACC and myself into this??

I would love to read them, maybe I will read something in them that would explain your bloated head. I seriously doubt it, but what the hell just post them for shits & giggles.

I will commend Rich for his accomplishments in Martial arts(I studied Judo also) and being an LEO.

I can give you just a few of Professor Higgins highlights.

He is accomplished both in Ballroom Dancing and Martial arts. He hand crafts the most beautiful howlers that I have ever seen.

And he not only make the howlers, he is the most knowledgeable and best howler whom I have ever heard. He can tell you how a coyote will respond, before he blows a call.

He and his son take several novice callers out each year and introduce them to the sport of coyote calling, and when they enter one of the Phoenix club contests, they almost always win, or place in the top 5.

He spends a ton of his own money each year, traveling the country to visit with callers from all over, and learn the methods that they use in their home areas.

He has made several coyote hunting videos, that will probably never become top sellers, simply because they are educational videos, not a bunch of blood, guts and exploding "Dogs" videos that most guys put out.

Rich spends a ton of money each year, to increase his knowledge of coyotes, and then he comes here and shares that learned knowledge with all of us for FREE.

Anyone who would ever slight the man and what he's done for the world of predator callers, has obviously never met the man, and doesn't have a clue of who they are talking about.

Besides that, he's got a hell of a good sense of humor and didn't kick Vic and I's collective asses when we buried a week dead coyote under his bed last fall.

ACC chided us for not existing on Google. That is why I included him. Coyotehunter2000 wrote a post less than flattering regarding all of us at this site who sit around and tell each other how great they are. It would be entertaining and informative for our members to learn about each other by sharing their acheivements. I didn't mention you.

I am a very openminded person. Yes, you are still welcome to hunt with me. All it will cost you is your flight and a meal or two.
In the last two threads it seemed like it was ACC & PAyotehunter vs. the "huntmasters". So yeah, I felt "the ACCs and the 'yotehunter2000s" was directed towards me.

My resume? I graduated highschool and got my deploma, i don't know why i was'nt in school half the time. Went into the service and recieved a expert-marksman ribbon, spent one tour in Texas and three in North Dakota. After the military i went to work with my father building concrete highways while i was with the company they recieved two national paveing awards and a bunch of state awards. While i was in construction i got to work in many states like Wyoming, Neb. North and South Dakota, and Iowa. While i was in wyoming i was able to hunt and kill my first mule deer which was a fork horn. I would of shot a record book muledeer but i did'nt see any. I also called in my first wyoming coyote while i was there also. I have a wall full of white-tail deer racks, only one of them makes the book. The deer i shot where some of the nicest taken from my area. I also hunted antelope in South Dakota for a few years most of the bucks taken averaged around 10 1/2". They where the biggest in the herd at the time of hunt. I maybe could of taken a record book antelope if there would of been one to shoot. I spend my winters hunting for red fox and coyotes ( 5-month's)I have'nt shot thousands of fox or coyotes, i just shoot what there is. If we had more of them then i would have shot more. I spend 2-weeks a year in S.D., that is where i met Dean Badger. Dean was a gov. trapper and expert denner for the state. Dean taught me the way of the coyote and and the rest i picked up from actual exsperiance and alot of reading. I have a binder full of articles from anybody that would write on the coyote or fox, most of them date back to the 70's. I have learned alot about the coyote from my own experiences and i'm still learning. I know how to work the dumb one's and at the moumement i'm learning a little bit each year on how to get the educated ones. I started out with a Burham Bro.s call and then switched to electric and now i'm in the process of going back to the hand calls and howlers. I had good luck the last two years and i hope i continue to improve. I'm not great but i'll settle for 2nd or 3rd.
I would also like to add that i am a member of the I.B.S. Ass. I've been shooting 17 cal.s since the late 70's and use them on fox and coyotes. I also spend many days in the fall hunting and calling ducks, and hunting pheasants with my dogs. anything to keep me busy and put food on the table till the snows hit. I also do a little bit of trapping for beaver,raccoons, and red fox. I'm also a member of the Varmint hunters ass. since the beginning.

I'm a trapper, have been since I was a little kid. Used to do a lot of night hunting of fox, then coyotes moved into Indiana and I started hunting them.

I ran my own Nuisance animal control business for about 10 years before moving to AZ. I got involved with the Indiana State Trappers Association and with the help of some great trappers, we turned the organization from collapse, into one of the fastest growing Sportsman's groups in the state. I was also one of the founding members of the Indiana Animal Damage Control Association, and sat on the Sportsmen's Roundtable to represent trappers in the State.

Part of my work with the ISTA led me into the political arena, and I loved lobbying in the Statehouse. My State Representative was weak in her support of outdoorsmen, so I went to my local Republican Committee and ask for their help to run against her. They told me that if I could win a county Office, they would support me in the next election. They gave me $500 for signs, and I raised another $320 to run against a "Shoe in" Democrat. He spent over $80,000 to lose to me. Then the local Republicans found out that I work a Union Job. I was told that I would have to quit the job that fed my family, or they would never support me again.

I had gained too much notoriety as a local trapper, the phone was ringing nonstop. Folks kept asking "Is this the Crittergetter's house" ( For those who remember, I used to post under that name for years, it was a nickname I was given by many, not one I picked for myself ) I now live in the only house on Crittergetter lane in McNeal.

Will Craig, Cindy Seff and John-Henry Piotrowski had been bugging me for years to move to AZ. So I found a job paying $10 more an hour than I was making, in an area thick with coyotes and a lower cost of living, and on the Saturday before Labor day of 2000, I moved my family to Arizona.

So far, my only two regrets are the lack of Beaver to trap in Arizona, and not moving here sooner.

Im 27yrs old and a owner of as construction company. I’ve been calling coyotes for about 10 yrs and am not even close to being as knowledgeable as i want to be. Ill just keep absorbing everything i can. And keep learning all I can.
I’ve been married for a year to a wonderful woman named Kerri which I’ve been with for 5 yrs and now we are expecting our first child.

I grew up in a small town raisin hell with the best of em. Spending most of my time on the twenty acres my grandparents had, I acquired my livelihood. After realizing that hunting was my livelihood I spent the rest of my childhood chasing squirrels, rabbit, deer, and turkey. Reaching the old age of thirteen I started bow hunting whitetails. After 5 years bow hunting hard I found coyote hunting at the age of 17 and continue to hunt all these animals today.

While hunting all these critters I also started riding bulls at the age of 14 Spending most of my weekends going to rodeos and getting bucked off. After realizing I wasn’t a good bullrider I started fighting bulls which came to me like a sixth sense. I continued to fight bulls till the age of 21. I made it to the ACRA finals twice as alternate, and won several buckels along the way but really nothing to show for it. I did aquire my first wife during this time which I got rid of. After rodeo i tried several sports like roping,racing,paintball, and about everything else competitive. But now i just hunt and rope a little, and play on a tournament paintball pump team.

After I got out of school I tried to be a trucker like my dad but didn’t like it as well so I started working construction. I started my own company in 2002 and still roof houses today, and recently started building houses.

I really think this is a good thread and I hope I did ok. Hard to write about myself, lol.

So im great cause i get to hang with you guys and tell stories and raise hell. IM GREAT,,,i think? Plus im going to the campout.

This is a great idea Rich, I really enjoy hearing a more personal side to screen names. PM has a thread that pops up every once in a while called “Tell us a little about your self” or something to that effect.

I am still a little shy so I will read a few more before I jump on.

Good hunting.

Rich C. Please finish yours. Rich H please start on your's. If both of you type real fast just maybe you will have them finished by the time PAyotehunter gets back on 9/5.

Cal I will chip in a $100.00 so you can start to hire the three secretaries it will take to finish yours by that date.( I happen to know there was more than one time at band camp).

I don't think DAA can list the number of rifles he has built by that time. Much less what he has accomplished with them.

Vic. I know some of you're deeds are chiseled in stone. So drag them on top of the scanner.

Tom. I happen to know you won the first thee match lock events.

Now we all know how long I could keep at this. So the rest of you drag out you're merit badges.

Im just plain assed lucky to be accepted among this bunch of guys. Pick the first 6 or 7 guys that come to mind on this board;Rich Higgins,Leonard Bosinski,Rich Cronk,Cal Taylor,Quinton Waggoner,Dave Affleck.....christ man, those are some tough acts to follow!
Probably the finest,most knowledgable bunch of guys assembled on the 'net concerning coyote behavior and hunting. After that, we have several resident gun gurus, DAA and Jack Roberts to name a couple,so much talent,experience and knowledge here,it honestly makes your head spin. We have resident trapping gurus to boot, Tim Behle,and Lance H, come to mind, so there's expertise to cover every base here.
Im an above average rifle and pistol shot,which luckily off sets my average ability as a hunter and caller,and even less than average knowledge, concerning predator behavior.
Im just lucky enough to be able to spend many more days afield then some guys who have to nail down a five day a week job. In the winter I get out on average, 3-4 days a week, so it's a numbers game, more chances to call something, usually results in more animals called to the rifle. Im lucky to have good health, good country to hunt,and the opportunity to rub elbows with some of the best in the field, right here in Leonards place!

I lurk a lot and post a little,Ive learned alot from this and other boards. Just a new guy at this predator calling thing and I cant get enough of it.first time I called , coyotes came and Ive not wanted to do much else since. it has ruined deer seaason for me.finding the boards Ive asked questions and you all have been good enough to answer and share some of what you know.Think Ill just hang out with all the pompous ass know it alls. With a little effort I'm about average.
