A Great Group of Hunters at Coyote Clinic

Some had already sat through a few predator stands, some had even already put fur on the ground, and others had not yet headed to the field in search of Wile E. and Mr. Bob. But experience level didn't matter when the Coyote Clinic started up Friday evening - we were all there for the same reason: to learn how to get more predators in front of us!

Coyote Clinic was a great success, and there was a great group of hunters and outdoorsmen that attended. I especially enjoy seeing the kids, since they are the future of our shooting sports. Friday evening was the classroom portion of Coyote Clinic, which covered the basics of predator hunting such as scouting, equipment selection, hunting laws, and animal behavior. And there were some great giveaways, as well! We didn't get any pictures of the class portion, but it was a great four hour prep to Saturday, which is when the real fun began.

A short hike to demonstrate proper stand selection, calling demonstrations and calling sequence explanations, accuracy training and snap shooting practice, and a skinning demo were just a few of the events that took place during the Field Day. And what a beautiful sunny day to learn about predator hunting!

Thank you to all of those who attended and helped to make this Coyote Clinic successful and enjoyable. And a special thanks to our sponsors and vendors: Edge by Expedite, Kettle Creek Calls, and Kannah Creek Calls.

Another Coyote Clinic is being planned for March and will probably be held in the Tucson area, so if you missed this one then hopefully I'll see you there!

Here's some of the positive feedback I received:

"Thanks for presenting a great class. In my work, I attend a lot of workshops, meetings, and seminars and would have to say that your clinic was among the best I have attended whether in a professional or recreational setting." - Cy A.

"Wow, exceeded my expectations. Kept the newbies & experienced engaged." - Bob S.

"Glen definitely knows his stuff - he presents very well and covers all bases clearly without repeating himself. I left armed with a lot of new knowledge and better direction on how to increase my success in the field." - Steve D.

Proper stand selection is key to getting more fur in front of your gun.
