The following E-mail was sent to the Advertisers and Hand Call Hobbyist call makers on Predator Masters, I’d like to extend the same offer to the general membership. For several years the general membership has donated to Predator Masters for door prizes drawings or auctions. Predator Masters depends on the funds generated at the Globe hunt to pay board expenses. You participation is greatly appreciated, but participation is strictly voluntary.

Dear Friends,
As many of you know Predator Masters (PM) is quickly closing in on the 6th annual Globe Hunt. My how the time seems to fly, I remember the day I got my first E-mail from Will Craig announcing his vision of an site dedicated to predator hunting. Will was excited by the prospect of having a website that was a little different, he wanted all predator hunters to have an internet site to call their home, he wanted a friendly place, a place they could call their own. At the time money would be no problem, server costs were minimal and Will had an up and coming corporate sponsor that was excited by Will's dream. We got off on a high note, everything was going well with PM, then the worst happened, almost over night Will went from a dynamic predator hunter to a man struggling with terminal cancer. Within the year cancer took Will from us. We had the first Globe, Arizona hunt that year. We planned to gather as predator hunters to celebrate Will in his home town. It was amazing, people from all over the country showed up and donated items, then bought door prize tickets to help support PM
The next year was a hard one for PM, our corporate sponsor moved on, leaving the money donated from the Globe Hunt, it was barely enough to keep us going. Membership quickly doubled, then doubled again, six busy years later we show well over 15,500 members. The stats have been amazing, in November 2005 PM had 12 million information hits, in November 2006 there were over 14.5 million hits. "Will's Dream" is still alive and well. But after all these years one thing is still constant, PM still depends on the proceeds generated by the annual Globe Hunt to survive.
We appreciate all the Sponsors, Advertisers and Hobby Call Makers showing support and confidence in Predator masters. Your advertising dollars has gone a long ways toward helping Predator Masters move forward, but we are still in the position where door prize ticket sales and auction proceeds taken in at the Globe Hunt are our number one source of revenue. To a large degree it's your donations to Predator Masters that will keep Predator Masters operating for another year. If you'd like to donate to Predator Masters please to send your items to:

This years hunt will be in the first week of February 2007, if it is at all possible I'd like to have your donation available to take to Globe in the middle of January. This will give me time to make a post about your item and catalog it for tracking purposes. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at:
