Our Hunting Season Opener w/pics!

Predator Strikeforce kicked off our 2010-11 season this past week with Kirk McKendree for PA hunting in Idaho and Montana. It literally rained off and on everyday of the hunt. We still managed to be successfull calling in between the breaks in the bad weather. Here's a few pics. Enjoy...

We started off hot in Idaho with the first stand of the trip duping this mature male coyote that came as close as 60 yards hypnotized by the MOJO Critter. I estmated this coyote to be pushing eight and half years old.

The maiden voyage for the new Predator Strikeforce Sony AX2000. Blending in with Kings Desert Shadow Camo helps to get good footage.

Called in an Idaho double that busted us and froze. As the male turned to leave, Kirk made an incredible shot in the back of the head @ 208 yards.

Montana offers some amazing stands if you like to watch predators respond from miles away.

The FoxPro Fury brought this Montana male in on a string to just 78 yards.

We only managed to kill half of everything we called in but we had an amazing time anyway. Tom Austin

That's awesome! A great way to kick off the new season.

That's great. I'll start in a couple weeks. Everybody I know here are already slammin' them. I think it'll be a great season.
 
Thankyou everyone for the kind words. I'll be back at it again this weekend with clients from WA on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and from CA on Monday and Tuesday chasing coyotes, fox and bears. Hopefully the weather will hold!

Thanks so much! I haven't even got to see the article yet myself. LOL! I re-subscribed a couple months ago to Predator Xtreme and still haven't recieved any issues. I've looked for it locally on the magazine racks but no-one seems to have it yet. Oh well. The October issue of Outdoor Life is suppose to have another article I wrote titled "Introduce your child to opening day" or some variation of that depending upon what the editor decided to change.

I haven't seen that yet either.

Thanks for the feedback. Constructive crtisizm is always welcome.
 
Great job. I would love to go on a guided hunt with the wife. Every time I take her I can't call anything in. Good luck with the bears.
