If you think you are better, then write you're own book and let your book sales speak for you. Why just bash someone for trying???? I know when I won the world championship for coyote vocalizations I heard," well my buddy can call that good..." or " i know a guy down the road that can call better than that"....well you know what, tell him he should have showed up, it was an open contest....Like I said, I have no clue who these guys are but I just hate seeing an A-- Hole bashing on someone for trying. IMO, it's bad for the sport. Aren't we all on the same team??? Personally, I don't know two people who's tactics are the same anyway. I think you should take bits and pieces from different people and form your own opinions. Trust me, you aren't going to learn to coyote hunt from behind a computer screen fellas, get out there and learn on your own. That's how I did it. I promise you, things learned the hard way always stick with you better and pay off more in the end!
Hi Jason, I think we met in Ohio earlier this year?
Congratualtions again on your calling accomplishments...
Just wanted to address your post, as it seems from waaay out in left field.
First off, calling out GC is not in good form. He's been killing coyotes here in the East since you (and I) were in diapers. That alone is deserving of some respect...
Secondly, guys 'peeing in your cheerios' for winning a calling contest has little/nothing to do with members here commenting on the credentials of an author SELLING a product. Sorry that happened to you, and you are exactly right...those guys indeed SHOULD have competed if they can call better than you! I'm all for putting your $$$ where your mouth is...
But again, your misguided & confrontational response toward GC is hard for me to swallow. I didn't see him 'bash' anyone 'for trying', nor were his posts inflammatory. And to go so far as to lump GC in with your self indulgent commentary on "A-holes" is 100% unfounded, unprofessional & deserving of an apology.
Just sayin'...
And b.t.w...
From what I know of him, GC could write a book in calling predators. And if he did, I'd buy it in a heartbeat...
Take care,
Fred
EDIT to add: This post is not a knock against you, Jason. Just sticking up for my friend who deserves a bit of respect. Thanks...
