SHOT Show 2014: The #1 best new predator hunting gadget

I go to SHOT Show for the advancement of my primary business, Independence Training. But while I'm there, there's no reason not to check out all of the cool new predator hunting products! While the theme seems to be bigger speakers and louder calls for the e-caller market, the mouth call market pretty much stayed the same, and there are some really cool new predator hunting rifles from several different manufacturers, primarily in the AR variety. Lucky Duck, formerly Edge by Expedite, has some interesting new decoys that I'm looking forward to testing out, and MOJO is expanding their line of turkey decoys, which I'll be using this spring for my son's turkey hunt . . . . and maybe play with for predator hunting, too.

All that said, the coolest new predator hunting product that I saw, being a FoxPro user, was their new FOXGRIP. It's an AR style grip, made by CAA (not my favorite company), and it has a button that can be programmed to do any one function on your caller. This is a great idea because it puts it right under my thumb (sorry southpaws) and makes muting a caller or switching sounds, the two things I need to do most quickly, easy as pressing a button with my thumb and thus eliminating excess movement.


If you're interested in purchasing one, look for them online - looks like the going price right now will be $90.00.


Happy Hunting!
