Hey guys my name is Dominic Bell, i'm 18 years old. I'm a senior in High School, plan on going to college in Las Cruses to become a game warden. If it wasnt for hunting I dont know what i'd do. Lets just say I live for the sport. I was born and raised in Roswell NM and still live here, havent seen any aliens lately. My dad has taken me hunting since I was a little tike and I actually started hunting for rabbits the day I got my first .22 I dont remember how old I was. Not to menchon the sparrows and black birds around the house with my bb gun. I got my hunter safety when I was 8 years old and have been at it ever since. I have taken several mule deer, one bull elk, 1 barbary sheep, 4 coyotes, a whole bunch of dove, quail, pheasant, crane, and the occasional rattle snake that happens to scare the hell out of me. I have a few ducks under my belt too. Well thats about it but I will be adding to those numbers for the rest of my life. Good hunting everyone!
 
Welcome to Predator Masters folks. Happy to have ya's aboard.
Thanks for sharing a little something about yourselves.
Hope you enjoy our home /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

My name is Brian McCarty and I am 28 years old. I am a paramedic for SJRMC/EMS ,and have been a volunteer firefighter for past 11years. I find I spend the majority of my time being constantly amazed by the stupidity of the human race. When this is not happening I try to hunt. At this time I am new to this sport of predator calling and trying to work out the bugs. Have not killed one yet. I hope to learn from this sight and improve my skills. Also I live in a small community called Blanco that is approx. 9 miles east of Bloomfield.
 
I'm new to the site and also new to predator hunting. I'm 37 years old and work as the 3rd shift superintendant for TRW Automotive in lebanon, TN. I was in the Army for 12 years and spent 7 of those in Europe. I've deer hunted since I was 11 and always partial to archery. I now shoot 3D tournaments year round and I'm sponsored by Mathews Solocam Archery, TRU Ball releases and Poindexter's Archery. I trap a little and really got interested in predator hunting over the last couple of years. I haven't been very successful at it, but I still enjoy it. Working 3rd shift I have to do most of my hunting by myself and I really don't know enough about it to do any good. I bought me an electronic caller a couple of month's ago and am now trying to learn how to use it properly. Maybe soon I'll actually get a shot at something. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Greeting,
I'm Cal Sibley, a retired Computer Procedures Analyst who lives 17 miles west of Montreal.
I'm 65 and don't hunt a great deal anymore, but spend a large amount of time at the rifle range. My wife of 35 years and I have a Giant Schnauzer, Franklin, who is the apple of our eye. I came to Canada from Maryland 31 years ago to spend a week with friends. Just never got around to going back. This country really grows on you. I'm an Air Force veteran, a graduate of the University of Maryland, and a fanatical college basketball fan who thinks the game of hockey is a Canadian disease. My major hobby is acuracy reloading which helps pass the long, cold winters that seem to afflict us. Best wishes to all.

Cal - Montreal

i have been lucky, i have a great wife and have had good dogs. the wife still some times allows me to buy a gun and if she reads this i'am in big trouble since i just bought another gun yesterday. theres a lot more i could say but i've taken up to much space now thanks.

Hello to all, and just a note about myself. My name is Don, and I live in a small suburb about 28 miles from Pittsburgh. I am 40 years old, married 13 years, with 1 wife, and have 1 daughter 8 years old. I hate house cats, I love big dogs, and am fond of German Shephards the most. I have a big female, who does not backtalk much. I have loved hunting and the outdoors all of my life, and I guess I have been ok at it. I live on the OH,WV,PA, border, so I can be in anyone of these states in 10 minutes. Makes for good hunting. I travel to NY to deer hunt, and have done so with the same 4 guys since 1984. I have taken 64 whitetails, (24 with a bow) 40 with a rifle or slug gun. I have also taken 1 mule deer, and 1 antelope. I have been out to the western states, and have become addicted to the wide open space. I do all of my own bow work, (making arrows, bow tuning, and such), and truly enjoy archery. I have been reloading for about 20 years, and have learned a lot along the way. I enjoy shooting groundhogs at longer ranges. When not hunting animals, I enjoy mushroom hunting or fishing. Walleyes are the prefered fish, but smallmouth bass ranks high also. I am a true freak, who eats, breaths, and sleeps guns and the outdoors. I am just trying to get geared up for fox and coyotes. I trapped fox when I was a kid, and did well at it. I have called in a couple of foxes, but never hunted them seriously. I run heavy equipment for a living, and would love to tell my boss, what Johnny Paycheck sang about. I'd like to work for someone like Cabela's or something, but Reaganomics kind of kept me from going to college. Dad had to use the college money to keep the house when all the mills shut down in the early 80's. No use crying over spilled milk, I make an honest living. My friends call me The Butcher because of my willingness to snuff the life out of critters I dislike. I don't know if that's good or bad. I like good friends, accurate rifles, smooth bows, and heavy blood trails. I hate big cities, and always carry a pistol, when forced to go to one. Gave up booze 3 years back, and enjoy time with the family. That's about it. Oh, I really like this site, and everyones willingness to share information. Keep up the good work.

Man, AR_NITESTLKER, keep that Arkansas thing under your hat. You and I both know Arkansas is one of the best kept secrets in the nation. I like the fact that everyone thinks were toothless, no shoe wearin', hillbillies. It keeps them from moving here! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

All kidding aside, I had to look Bonnerdale up on the map. You and I are about 1 1/2 hours apart. I am more familiar with the Ozarks in and around the Mt. View area.
 
Guess I'll put in my 2 cents. My name is Gary Tichler I'm Toolmaker by trade,love to farm,but could'nt make much at it so I settled for running a cow calf herd of 60 head. Married to the same wounderfull gal for 27 years. Got 4 daughters. Never figured out how to make a boy but do have a couple of son in laws now. Very proud of em all. First grand child due in May.
Started hunting as a kid. Mostly rabbit.Then went to fox and hound hunting coon with my dad.Nothin like hunting with dad as most of you will probabley agree. Farmed and hunted together for many years then lost him to cancer in 93. Stopped hunting till I started getting son in laws. Then had a coyote take a couple of calves 2 years ago. Alas a new guy thing to do.This has been a great way to bond with my boys.Lots of fun.I only have time to hunt evenings so a nite hunter I am.A couple times a year I go to SW Michigan where the boys are and hunt there.
This year was supposed to be the year to really do some damage to the coyotes.Went to the Dr. in august for a cholestral check my wife had hounded my to do for a couple of years.Turned out the cholestol was bad but my prostrate was worse.Just got back from Mayo Clinic in Minnesota last week. Had a sucessful surgery.My cancer was contained. Got a new lease on life.
Hey guy's I'm only 49 and had no sign of problems . This tumer was only 2mm from breaking thru.Had I waited for problems it would have to late.If ya love your family,hunting and life in general get a PSA check regulary in your 40's.If your dad had prostrate problems you could get cancer at a younger age.This stuff feeds of of your testostron so the younger ya are the more leathal it is.Figure it started about a year ago.
Just getting my act together on coyote. Love to solve problems and make gadgets.Have enjoyed and learned alot from this site hope to be around for a good many years. Merry Christmas to ya all.
