Friends,
New to this board. I'm Tripp, an outdoor writer from Texas. Been hunting and outdoors 36 of my short 43 years. Predator calling 12.
Hoping you all might post a short bit on yourselves, letting me know more about my new-found elbow-rubbers.
Catch you outdoors,
Tripp
P.S. Much of my scribble is humor. Any humorous happenings relayed would be much appreciated. Outdoorsintexas@aol.com

Hello Mr Tripp,
I'm just your basic slutty lesbian, who's been trapped in a man's body for the last forty years.
In my spare time, I love to hunt and trap coyotes. I move to AZ from Indiana 4.5 years ago, and I hope I never fall through the ice on another frozen river for the rest of my life.
Tim

Wannabe writer, caller and trapper from KS. 40, feel like 80. Third generation coyotero, but the first to call them. Someday, I'll move to more coyote-rich environs. I just hang out here so ppl see me and associate me with these guys. Helps me with my low self esteem problems. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I got a late start in predator hunting. In 1968, at the age of 26, I killed my first two coyotes and a bobcat on the same day. That did it; hooked for life. Most of my predator hunting is road trips, I seldom hunt locally. I like to get way off the beaten path, it's envigorating.
Now, truth be told; ain't got a day job except keeping up with things on Huntmasters.
(but, don't tell my mom, she thinks I'm the piano player in a whore house) Just kidding, about that, by the way.
But, I am recently retired, taking it easy. I enjoy the stimulating conversation online, whenever I get a chance.
Good hunting. LB

Hey there Mister Tripp. I'm a born Coloradoan and we say "you guys" (not ya'll), "pop" (not soda) and "30 lb. coyote is big" (not 50).
My wife and I have 4 little critters and they are my life. I love playing guitar but I suck at it. I love hunting coyotes but I suck at that too. I've called a whole bunch but I've only murderified a couple or seventeen. I've got more on video. I've nothing against shooting a coyote and letting it lay but I'd rather pay $75 to have a nice pelt made out of it. I can't often because I'm a bit poor so I opt to shoot 'em with a Canon (not a .17) I love Jesus but I behave like a pagan and really like Pacifico. I love snakes and other reptiles but I am mortified or rattlers, NASA once called me a @@^^&@^$#(member of the female anatomy)if I didn't poke at one with a 16" stick. So I did and nearly pooped my pants. Every weekend in the Spring, I take the critters out to find snakes, lizards, tadpoles, toads, frogs, crayfish, turtles, tortoises and whatever other critter we might find to build our zoo. Every late summer, we let the zoo go back to the wild to hibernate. With the rest of my time, I am a painting contractor. My guys are all from Mexico and they all have Green cards and social security numbers (possibily even real) and therefore, I am a bit un-popular with Arizona flavored lesbians - but Leon' tolerates me here anyway!!!!!
So Welcome Mister Tripp. Smile!!!!

Hello Mr. Tripp
Jay Nistetter here. Thoroughly enjoyed your story that Higgins posted and was fascinated with your optical illusion photo. It magically changes everytime I look at it.
I’ve been calling coyotes for a good number of years. Started out in Oklahoma during the late 60’s. Moved to Arizona in the late 70’s and started coyote calling in earnest. I self published a book in 2002, made a non-traditional hunting video in 2004 and have written a spattering of articles about old predator calls. I’m an advocate of a more non-traditional style of hunting set-ups geared towards lazy, overweight, crippled, old soles who want to have fun and still have coyote opportunities. The best advice I can give to predator hunters everywhere is to never climb a barbed wire fence wearing a ghillie suit.
I’ve been very fortunate in befriending many of the pioneers of predator calling. I attribute this to my warm and tolerant personality.
One thing that has bothered me after starting this post is… Well… I just gotta ask.
Joyce? Is Tim wearing your clothes again?

When not at work, the price of gas will keep at home this summer making calls. The price of gas does however, suggest that I'll be very busy in the future when I am at work.
Unfortunately, expansion in the way of more rigs being brought up from Vernal Utah, or Texas, or where ever, causes the spreading out (taking) of experienced hands form their natural habitats. Considering todays OSHA's standards, it gets a little unnerving when the applicants have the upper hand with clean urine.
Aside from that short vent, I've been in Montana all of my 34 years and calling coyotes for the last 4 1/2, which is just what I expect to be doing for many more to come.

Howdy, Tripper. I’m NASA, and I get paid for assuming the role of a Space Mission Assurance Scientist. I’d like to say that I discovered predator hunting as an escape from the stress and tension of developing exploratory intergalactic space vehicles, and Top Secret Gov’t spy satellites, but I can’t. I only work as a means to support my hunting addiction. I actually started predator hunting back in the 50’s, and killed my first fox in 1957. That’s all it took for me and I’ve been hammering ‘em ever since. And, I have no intention of cutting them critters any slack, either.

Yeah Lance, I remember that as the day a couple of red-heads tried to kill the short, little, stubby mexican...about 30 min. after the Juevos zap, my intestines began suffering. We were parked in a flat pasture without so much as a yucca to conceal myself. After embarassingly relieving myself, I stumbled back to the trucks from the down wind side. I hear Lance, "Hey Q, you gotta check out leon's magic mist", and they proceed to fill my face and mouth with a mongo sized cloud of various mammal flavored pisses. AAAaaaahhh, What a day!

Hey Tripp,
I gess im the pup of the bunch, just being in my 30's. They say im still wet behind the ears!
I been calling hunting and traping for around 24 years, just about all my life. I am about to wrap up my first video on predator hunting, and have written a few articles, stories and reviews, but im just a wanta be writer. Can get along with out spell check!
I called in alot of contests for just about everything from Turkeys to coyotes, deer, ducks and geese, owl hooting. And done alot of sportshows. I own and operate Kee's Custom calls.
I have lived in Ohio all my life except for a few years in Ga. Im down on the Southern tip of the state just across the river from Ky and Wv. That makes it nice, I can hunt three states with in 20 min or so from the house.

Hi Tripp,
I'm a new guy. Been lurking around here for awhile now but this is my first post. Good place to start and I thank you for the opportunity.
New Hampshire is home, and if you go 40 miles east of me you run in to a big expanse of water so I suppose I am one of those frustrated eastern coyote hunters, unless you keep going and end up back in Washington state, which I suppose puts me smack dab in the middle somewhere.
And yes, I am a Coyote Hunter. I also make a few predator calls now and then.
I spent a little over 20 years in the US Marine Corps, retired in 93. Got a wife and a couple of boys, one in High School who is in the National Honor Society and one in 5th grade who holds the record for most detentions in a single day.
I'm a past president of my states bow hunting organization, and current vice president of my fish and game club. Been hunting and fishing all my life, coyotes seriously for the past 4.
Glad to be here, and hope to maybe contribute some, and learn even more.
Al

Posted by TheHuntedOne (Member # 623) on March 24, 2005, 05:41 AM:
This is one that my buddy shot last winter. It was his first. He showed to an E caller about 5 seconds into the call sequence. At first, I thought Dave had a misfire on his rifle. It went wawawa bang yip yip - holy crap I got one - you have to be kidding me - no really I got one!
He is typical of many of the coyotes here in NH. Rather large and looks a lot bigger with all that winter fur. This one was probably in the low 50 pounds. That and his first red fox are the only pics I have. Called his fox in in the exact same place as the coyote he killed. He was one of the best hunting buddies I ever had. Had the same passion for coyotes. Moved to NY on me. I still call that spot Dave's Fur Farm.

Posted by The Outdoor Tripp (Member # 619) on March 27, 2005, 06:59 PM:
Take heed Scott, predator calling is addicting. I was in your shoes 12 yrs. back -- once it your blood it hunkers down and stays put.
Yes, feral pigs can be called like 99% of all four-leggeds. If you prefer electric, I believe Johnny Stewart has a good piglet distress tape you need to try. If a mouth caller, get the tape and practice emulating the perturbed puny porker. You'll soon be as they say...in hog Heaven.

I am 34 years old and have been hunting most of my life. I have 2 kids and a wife that is almost as pretty as me.
I just started coyote hunting not long ago, mostly for something to do when archery season was over. I didn't realize how much it was going to affect me though. After I got my first Kill I couldn't get coyotes out of my head. New calls I need, new places to hunt, new kinds of tactics to use, gotta get a new gun. What the hell happened to me?

Sure is nice to see some of you lurkers coming out of the shadows. Great bunch of guys here and you don't have to be an expert to pull up a sit down and join right in. You'll soon find out what I said five minutes after getting here for the first time: this site is more cerebral than just about any of them. Not a lot of fluff or oddball forums to get lost in. Just predators. I can bet that there's not a guy here, regardless of years hunting, that hasn't learned something new from the exchange of ideas and information.

Howdy MR. Tripp
I am Ronnie Robison. Will be 60 in June. Born and raised in Orange TX. I live four miles from the Louisiana border. I am a swamp rat. Got my first Duck and Goose call by age eight. Had my first pirogue at ten to run my trap lines with.
Was lucky enough to work shift work as a machinist for 33 years. This gave me 14 days a month of to hunt, And fish. Also plenty of time to raise and train Chesapeake's, Pointers, And setters for many years.
Started predator calling in 1959. Spent the last 18 years on Lohman's Gold Staff doing videos and trade shows.
I was hit with a rare neuromuscular disease seven years ago. Now I hunt from a bad ass off road wheel chair(Camo of course), And a customized 650 Honda. Now I spend way more time talking the talk rather than walking the walk.
This has to be the best place to talk the talk. There is more talent and skill here than Holley Wood and the NFL combined.
If you are ever headed East on I-10. Stop in Orange and I will hitch you up with a real cup of coffee. Then we will go for a air boat ride with a Chinese girl.

Mr., Tripp
I have had "0" luck calling hogs with the JS tape. We produced a baby pig tape under circumstances I can't go into. We then overplayed the sound four times. It will produce a sound that would cause a PETA member to jump into bubbling lava.
I have called around forty Coyotes with both tapes. Four were called to within seven yards. I have yet to have a hog come in.
I am very open to suggestions, As I am trying to deal with a bad Hog problem now.

If that's the case, you need to be promoting this tape and get as many copies out there as possible.
Posted by Jay Nistetter (Member # 140) on April 01, 2005, 11:24 AM:
I, like Ronnie, am very interested too. I have shot a number of hogs in Texas and know quite a few guides. Between all of us, we've never called any hogs in no matter what the sound. Many times they never even look towards the sound because they seem to have tunnel-vision in getting to where they were origonally headed.
One call I haven't tried yet is the Feeder Repeater call. Seems like that would work. We thought we called some in one time but discovered that we were directly in between them and a corn feeder. We were fairly proud of ourselves until were heard the feeder sound off behind us.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Howdy All!
My name is Scott Davidson, and although I've lurked here for quite some time, this is my first post...I think. I'm 50, live in New Waverly, Texas, and have hunted for about 45 of my 50 years.
The recent post on calling hogs has brought me out of the closet. I deal with problem hogs all year long, and hitched my pony to the hog-calling wagon a few years ago. Since then, I've managed to call exactly ZERO hogs. And I've got quite a library of "hog-calling" sounds. The JS Piglett in Distress works great on coyotes, slightly less so on cats, but I have never managed to call a hog, despite actually calling to a hog I could SEE on a couple of occasions.
I'm dealing with some troublesome hogs now. I'd sure like to know how to call 'em.
Please share your secret.
Thanks,

it may not work in the wild though....
if you can get close... the javelina call sure works on these desert rats... not sure if it would work on actual pigs or not...

Hi Guys,
Another long time lurker rearing his not so pretty head. Yep decided to come out of the closet.
Anyway, I am a stay at home dad for the time being. My wife and I decided to adopt twin 18 month old girls last July and believe you me my life has changed (sheesh that's alotta work for a 47 year old man). I live on the wet side here in OR. and am trying to call in my first cougar and bear.
Originally from Nebraska (where I have actually called in coyotes) I have worked in 21 or 22 different states, most with a hardhat on(millwright). Before that I worked close to 5 years for a major bullet manufacturer. Bought my first set of reloading dies for a .257 Rbt's at the grand ol age of 15 and never looked back.
Enough from me,

Hello Mr. Tripp
I'm Sheri Baity, not your typical slutty lesbian or your basic chinese girl although I do highly recommend you take the air boat ride with Ronnie. I'm just your plain ole wannabe, since I haven't figured out what I wannabe when I grow up.
I've been hunting the two legged coyote all of my soon to be 43 years of life. Back in the 90's I finally realized that my success rate was extremely low and they were no fun or challenge to catch and I spent way more time releasing than keeping. All they wanted to do was drool all over ya, hump your leg and responded to a simple call of cracking open a beer bottle, not to mention that they dribbled on the toilet seat and didn't flush the toilet and expected me to buy them dinner.
Then I started chasing the four legged coyote and my life has never been the same again. They are a little more of a challenge, quite rewarding when you do get them. Come home when you tell them they are coming with you with whispers from my 243. They don't drink your coffee, eat your food or steal the covers and pillows. It has been wedded bliss ever since.
Success has been not bad for an eastern coyote hunter. I've dabbled in a lil writing from time to time. I'm currently on field staff for Lohman, going around blowing my calls, giving coyote hunting seminars and still get plenty of responses from the two legged coyotes as well.
I'm a mother and a grandmother, two of my best moments in this lifetime.

I freely admit to being in the dark on a lot of subjects, but just as freely admit I'm willing to learn from (just about) anyone. I was sure anxious to learn this specific technique.

Howdy to all my porker plagued pals,
Sorry, hadn't read this particular thread in a while and was unaware of the turn it had taken.
Most hogs I've taken have been pretty easy -- via trap and bait known as "hog mash" (which I'd be more than happy to teach any of you to make), or over a feeder, and occasionally the errant boar wandering within range.
It's been several years, but I did take two hogs (separate occasions)while using a JS piglet distress (possibly not exact name). ]
No real trick to it -- pretty much called like I call coyote or fox.
I hunt in the thick brush of south central and South Texas -- mesquite and live oak, prickly pear. Hogs tend to be found in pockets...either the land has few, or tons of hogs. There never seems to be any middle ground.
Anyhow, this thread has given me a bit of inspiration to give it another try. Guess that's the only way to prove or disprove dumb luck!
Catch you outdoors,
Posted by varmit hunter (Member # 37) on April 15, 2005, 08:07 PM:
Thanks for the response tripp. After several years of proving to myself I have no skills for calling hogs. I have been counting on dumb luck to intervene.
I was hoping you would divulge some kind of secret to hog calling. I will just continue to root around with my call hoping one will won't to occupy the same space I am in.
Ronnie
P.S. The invite for the airboat ride with a Chinese girl still stands.

Welcome to the New Huntmasters, 2dogs. Glad to have you on board. Looks like you already know Dennis? Probably a neighbor?
Good hunting. LB

Thanks for the welcome, guys.
Hmmm don't know if I know Greenside or not? Probably do though...I haven't hunted a fox in many moons, just coyote. I go by "Kirby" on Predater Masters & "2dogs" on Iowa Outdoors.
Good site by the way.

Hi Kirby, I recognize you from PM.
Is 2dogs the first half of your name?
I seem to remember an old joke?
Posted by 2dogs (Member # 649) on May 03, 2005, 07:35 AM:
Hey, Rich...LOL! Yep that's a good one for sure. I've never laughed so hard, until I heard that one.
Uh...yah. First half, only.
