New Predator Hunter "Called" vids

[Double Naught Spy]

Hello! I am new to predator hunting as of earlier this year. I help keep hogs and predators in check on a property in north Texas as part of the landowner's wildlife management plan. Early on, I just shot a couple that I happened to see passing by, but coyotes and (rarely) bobcats usually seemed to be on the move and gone before I even got my rifle up and on them. So I invested in a distress call, watched and listened to videos on making calls, and then promptly sounded like a goose with laryngitis when I got into the field. I don't know what I sound like to the predators, but it is usually enough to get them to stop long enough for a shot or to get them to come closer. Maybe Santa will help me out with a new Foxpro electronic caller for Christmas, LOL.

So here are a couple recent vids...

I am shooting a 6.5 Grendel, Hornady SST 123 gr. ammo. It works great for hogs, but is hard on the smaller predators.

If you like the vids, I have a few more predator vids and several hog vids on my Youtube page.

Thanks guys!

I still have a lot to figure out with predators. So far, a lot of my encounters have been good fortune more than good hunting - right place at the right time sorts of deals. I hope to become more active in predator control in 2015 and I appreciate the insights I have been reading here.
