Most of you don't get it, its not about being jealous, far from it actually.. None of us want a guide service for hunting coyotes or even a school for teaching. We also enjoy hunting coyotes and the last thing we need is more people following this fad, most won't succeed but the damage willbe done. The more clients you have per year the more land you will need to meet the supply and demand, sooner or later toes willbe stepped on and greed will take over.
I just realized that you guys are right, we should discourage anything that promotes predator calling, you certainly don't want any competition for those highly sought after hunting rights. In fact following that logic Predator Masters is a really bad idea, I'm sure that it brings way too many new people to the sport every year.
During my time here I have tried to avoid controversy and any bickering that I have seen. There is always plenty of it especially during this time of the year, but come on guys use some common sense. If you are that dead set against new guys hunting coming into the sport then join PETA and fight along the sides of similarly confused individuals. For the couple of you who seem to be downright concerned with competition for hunting ground either establish yourself as the best option or pony up and buy your own ground to hunt. As previously pointed out Texas is primarily privately owned, it is ultimately the property owners decision and right what they do with the hunting rights on their property. If you think you are pulling the wool over their eyes that there is no value in predator hunting you are sorely mistaken. Most of the owners who allow predator hunting on their property do so for a specific reason due to a need for predator control, paid hunters don’t typically produce the results they are looking for.
Above all don’t crap on a guys desire to earn a living hunting, especially if you are involved in a family operation selling canned hunts” on high fence property…
