I could probably come up with a dozen or so nominees. Some modern day folks that are legends in their own minds might be offended. A HOF honoring the REAL PIONEERS of our sport would be great, but at some point the list should end.


Agreed.



Then I'll go against my statement and make one more reply. Why not have a banquet, induct the whole list of people into it at one time, and then be done with it? It would mean a savings from having to schedule and hold a session for several years and the associated cost with that.



This is not a bad suggestion.

Honestly, I don't know who is running this nor what they have in mind for it.
 
Alot more then a dozen or so callers from the past that should be in the Predator callers HOF. I could name probably close to 30 just off the top of my head, maybe I'll need a little book help lol.
It's good to see all the input you guys have. (IT'S WHATS GOOD FOR THE SPORT) not somebody's ego, we all know there are some BIG egos out there.

Would you guys like to see my partial list? I'll do it anyways lol, see what you think?

Alot more names could be added to that list. Good hunting you guys.
 
Think Ben Lilly ought to be the name of the bestowed.

I'm thinking in the tradition of Pope and Young , Boone and Crockett.

"Dude made the 'Ben Lilly' list."

Aaron Proffitt,
No offense intended but Ben Lilly was a mountain man, a trapper and mainly a houndsman, nothing to do with predator "calling".
Predator calling is what this HOF is all about, the houndsman have their own HOF.
Good Hunting
 
Good God Almighty Billy! you and I are the age where we can't remember if we brushed our teeth this morning and you come up with a list that goes back over 50 years. I will be hunting deer with George Wright (archery) here in Utah next month. He will be after his 60th deer with a bow.
 
I needed a little help remembering a couple of those names. Great to hear George Wright still goes hunting. I've been around a long time in the predator calling World and a member of the old CVCA. I had a predator hunting museum so I would surely remember someone of his caliber. Good to hear from you.
