The checkins will move around the "Zones" in hopes some of the guys will enter when they feel its "close enough". The World shoot has turned into a [beeep] show so we are making a contest that will actually test a team that wants to prove how good they are across the country. With a mail in initial entry you can enter, start hunting from home and work your way to wherever the checkin is. No driving to initial entry, save money there. At 150.00 entry fees, half what the world is, and saving all that driving you can play without breaking the bank even if its just the hunt in your region. Ya you have to plan for the Utah checkin this year, but if you win you will take home some cash, Ruger guns and the prestige of winning the western leg of the first contest that will span the nation. In a couple years I see the western hunt checkin in Elko or down in Kingman, or over in NM somewhere. Might even end up in Wyoming. We shall see. The good thing about regions is you have to hunt in that region, if you hunt 10-12 hrs from checkin, hunt the first day at home, find a place closer to that checkin, its definately part of the game. I myself will probably hunt CA the first day, just to piss off the people that banned contest hunting in CA, Im not worried at all about the distance. The coolest part of this US Predator Challenge is we are giving for the FIRST TIME, a chance to give two guys the honor of winning the first true nation wide contest. That is reason enough to be a part of it and we are bustin arse to make sure those that win each region as well as the overall will get the recognition they deserve in the predator calling world.
