This was totally shot and edited by my 11 and 14 year old. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So yes, they tried to make a James, Keith, and John video. Not bad for a first try.
They had quit a few doubles on here at 225 yards. On one of the 1, 2, 3's they both shot the same coyote. They left out a lot of great footage for the sake of time.

For those wondering about clarity of the scopes. They looked a lot clearer in the view finder. Our editing program is about 15 years old so I know it is compressing/converting the files when they edit them.(doesn't have an MP4 option) There were also some of these taken before my boys figured out how to adjust the settings. Several of the worst shots on here were at 225 yards on very heavily snowing nights. Amazed how awesome these scopes are at long distance in bad weather.

Enjoy!!!! My boys had a blast! Thanks for the kill box idea...ours had 6 bales.

Tell the boys job well done! thanks for sharing.

Great job boys.

Darn good!

Good to see youngsters enjoying the outdoors. Tanks for sharing your season!

Mighty fine shooting! Making memories is the best. Thanks for sharing.

Yes we are making memories!!! Most important part of all of this.

And I thought those boys could only shoot bows. Excellent and congrats to them and dad.

Thanks. They are about to decide they like yotes in the dark better than deer hunting. Of course there is a lot more shooting involved so that makes it a lot of fun!

Your boys did really good for sure!

Now THIS is something I can get behind! Awesome work all the way around guys!

First off congrats on being an outstanding parent! Second, I am grateful you found some of our techniques helpful!

Looking forward to many more video's and good luck on the future of filming!

if they are doing that at this age, they will be stone killers in a decade and a force to be reckoned with

This, is cool.

Just...OUTSTANDING!! Way to go Dad! Way to go Boys! In the world we live in today, this is absolutely refreshing and fun to watch! Congrats boys and keep up the good work!

Thanks a bunch!!! You just made our day. We get some time one of these summers I want to take them to Hill City to see the dinosaurs and the Black Hills etc. Might have to swing by and say hi. Love all of your videos. The steer wrestling video reminds me of when I was young and worked on the Japanese cattle ranch. My brother in law was 18 and was the manager. I was 19. Your audio on that video pretty much describes how we went about working cattle every day. LOL

They have a lot more ideas for some videos. Hope to get them made soon.

Keep up the good fight!

Absolutely... You guys make it to the Black Hills, and be sure to reach out, I'll make sure and take the time to meet your boys!

The future of Predator Masters in motion !

Good stuff !!!!

Great job all around. The calling, shooting and video production are excellent. Keep them coming!!!

If and when we do we will take you up on that! I teach math and I am about to retire in one more year. Summers are all about putting up all the hay we can. Rain can often makes it drag out until fall.

A big thank you to all who have replied. We appreciate every comment.

Great recap and kudos all around.

Next year should be epic.

Great job boys and dad! Enjoyed the video.

What has been so amazing about the thermals is that it opens a whole new world....one you don't know exists. What I mean is that you see things there is now way to see with night vision or even bright lights. For example several times we pulled into one of our farms and there were deer in small brush that we couldn't see with the head lights as we drove in. Even after we parked, got out, slammed the doors, talked quietly to each other the deer still stayed there. They were evidently positive we couldn't see them.

In the video I started this thread with, we called a bobcat into the call 3 times. Called him in and let him leave. The third time he even walked right past a rabbit at 10 yards in a bare field. We called him in with a rabbit call but he evidently couldn't see the real rabbit or wasn't hungry at all. This is about 2/3 of the way through the video on black hot.

Amazing view into an unseen world.

Good job to you and your boys. I hear you about thermal. I've run blueticks for years and still have 5 so have spent many nights in the woods. Thermal brings the night to life and you see everything that makes the tracks you don't see with lights. Good video.

I used to raise blueticks also. Smokey River and Jet bred mainly. I had a female at one time that was 3rd place reproducer of Nites and Grand Nites. I miss those days. I might have to get a pup after I retire to introduce the boys to hounds and coons.

Well I think the boys are offically addicted to coyote calling now.
Had to drag them to an archery 3D shoot. Well, I didn't have to drag to hard,
but I couldn't get their brains off of live dogs and onto foam frogs.(yes they have frog targets nowadays at 3D shoots) Once they hit the course though they are now serious about practicing and hitting some 3D competitions now.

Once it is dark out though they are hitting the couch and Youtube searching for new
thermal videos. I may have created a monster(or two)LOL.

I just noticed your avatar. My dad was a P51 pilot in WWII. He had a J3 cub he flew off of our farm. Unfortunately I wasn't born yet. Later he flew model airplanes. Of course he had several P51's and a couple of Cubs also. N70509 was his planes number.

It is good to have good memories!
