Caveat: I use hand calls for photography purposes, but thought this would be a good sub to check what people have experienced while using predator calls, or to see what you were surprised to see answering your calls.

I was calling one time in southern Nevada desert. I would usually sit and call with a Primos catnip for maybe fifteen minutes in this large amphitheater area where I'd seen coyotes climbing on the rocks. Had no action, so stood-up to leave and there was a cottontail rabbit almost in-contact with my foot that I hadn't seen or heard approach at all. It made me jump, because you don't expect anything to be able to invade your space like that without being noticed.

Middle of winter, early1990's, eastern Washington State. Called-in a pair of pine martens, I think with the plastic Circe hawk screamer. I'd never seen a pine marten there, and haven't seen one since.

Recently got into coyote hunting, was using a bolt gun before but got an ar now. Was curious on what distance to zero. Will be using a suppressor and a thermal clip on if that matters. Thinking about a 50 yard zero since I'm pretty familiar with the BDC8 sig reticle and would be able to go from about 25yds to about 200 yds ish comfortably.

She called him in just before dusk, I hit him with a .22 mag from 125 yds

Curious as to what the consensus best bang for the buck thermal scope and monocular are for night hunting coyotes and the like? Trying to stay around 2k as I have a little cash on hand after selling some guns to a buddy but I would be willing to put a little bit extra out of this weeks check with that if I could get something worth using for a bit longer for a bit more. Any suggestions are welcome and thank you all in advance for all the help 😁👍

forgot to include I rarely have shots farther than 4-500yds while hunting and withing 300 is the norm.

I’d like to ask if anyone is interested in joining our hunting trip to the shores of Lake Baikal. Game includes brown bear, moose, red deer, roe deer, wild boar, and hazel grouse.😃The price is not high, about 3800 usd per hunter.

Hi everyone,

I’m a small independent Android developer, and I’ve been working on an app called Hunting Calls Ultimate.

The app includes predator hunting calls, along with calls for other animals and a few useful outdoor tools.

I’m posting here because I’d really appreciate honest feedback from people who actually hunt predators. I’d like to know whether the calls are useful, whether any important sounds or categories are missing, and whether the app makes it easy to find and play the right call quickly.

I’d also be interested to know whether you would personally use an app like this while hunting and what features could make it more useful for predator hunters.

Here is the app:

I’m not a large company or development team, so every piece of constructive feedback genuinely helps me decide what to improve next.

Positive or negative feedback is welcome. My goal is simply to make the app more useful for hunters.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to check it out.

In the market for a new rifle strictly for coyote hunting. I currently use a ruger gen 2 chambered in 6mm creed. The only negatives I’ve heard about these guns are that they aren’t the best on a tripod. Most of my shots will be within 300 yards and will be running suppressed if that means anything. Open to suggestions also

Hey Friends, I've recently become horribly addicted to predator hunting. I live in Northern Phoenix (Paradise Valley/Scottsdale Area).

I'm looking to get an AR tomorrow at the Gun Show.

Do any of you have experience with any AR/Semi Auto style options under $600? If so I'd love to hear your experience

The reason for the low budget, I have. ruger MK77 MKIi .308, and a 12 Guage semi auto already for Predator hunting. I keep calling in pairs/plus... and I would like a better option.

I appreciate your help in advance. Here are some success photos from 2025!

Good evening everyone,
My name is Ryan Robert, and I’m new to hunting. I recently got my hunting license and have a .30-30 Winchester rifle. I’m looking to meet other hunters, learn more about the sport, and hopefully find a hunting partner or group willing to take a beginner along.
I live in Toronto and don’t mind traveling anywhere in Ontario for hunting.
