What's a PRO

Since the topic simialar is now closed I just want to make a couple friendly points.

Kill a coyote or two and sell them for profit, you are now a PRO. The definition of PRO is getting paid for whatever your doing. You have pro football and amature/college football.

Going where the game is smart hunting. You don't see Al Linder going walleye fishing in Florida do you.

One last thing, Coyote Wild where are you located. I'm in Western NY (Lancaster) and just got started in this coyote hunting. So I have a LOT to learn. But I'm willing to try things I read about or see on video. I only wish all this info was available when I started deer hunting over 30 years ago. Back then you read someones "Stories" in Outdoor Life or Field & Stream. Most of it back then was just good reading for the hard winter months.

I got to go, I think I hear a coyote calling me!!!
 
Profession - An occupation, the practice of which directly influences human well-being and requires mastery of a complex body of knowledge and specialized skills, requiring both formal education and practical experience

In a more restrictive sense, profession often refers specifically to fields that require extensive study and mastery of specialized knowledge, such as law, medicine, the military, nursing, the clergy or engineering. In this sense, profession is contrasted with occupation, which refers generally to the nature of a person's employment.

I learned how to call by trial and error.But then I started watching some western calling videos,and presto,I learned alot and started connecting.It's been stated on here before,that eastern hunting is a little more difficult,but mostly due to terrain and I'd have to agree.I trap coyotes also and learned alot on trapping them through western trapping videos.And catch coyotes using those same techniques.Apparently the coyotes didnt see the videos.But I think a coyote is a coyote no matter where you hunt or trap,and success is determined on how you apply what you learn or hear to your particular area.How many times have you left a stand in the in more forested areas,only to find fresh tracks that circled you,but where unable to see the critter due to terrain.I think that's the biggest hindurence to calling in the north and east,not that the coyotes are any smarter,they just have a more tactical advantage over the caller.

So,I guess most here fall under this,since we all tell of our experiences,in hopes of it helping someone else learn,and we also read so that we learn more ourselves.

Well first you'd have to define Authority... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Authority -- (an expert whose views are taken as definitive; "he is an authority on corporate law")

Which begs the question, what is an expert... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Expert -- (a person with special knowledge or ability who performs skillfully)

And what is skillfully? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

skillfully -- with skill

I'm gonna stop before I prove I'm related to Kevin Bacon three ways. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
First and foremost I'd really loike to appologize to whom I had insulted {i.e Rich Cronk}.
That really wasn't my intent to do so. I had some very valid questions I thought and expressed them the way I did.No purpose to slap any faces,
just legit questions and wanted some satisfaction
as far as getting videos done in our neck of the woods. From what I gathered from my topic,I was very pleased to see that there is such a video
coming out in the possibly near future.
I also had to understand what it is to be qualified as a "pro" predator caller. Simple enough, or so I thought.
I am a 3 1/2yr begginer in this sport and I really
have called to what I've been reading but without
a trophy story to brag about. I do what I read but
to me it's easier to see it done for my own eyes & ears & in my own neck of the woods so I know that it's how it should be done.I've been reading the "How To's" on this calling for longer than I've actually hunted these critters. Am I a" Pro"
yeah...a "pro failier" I really didn't mean to
insult anyone here I'm just one needing extra information than what I've read. My APPOLOGIES TO ALL.
 
Dogs is Dogs as they say.

WE are the thing that makes them smart.

Down here in Texas we have big country that is hardly hunted & we have small country that is hunted hard & is as tuff as what you speak, both are full of Coyotes.
Where I live it is plenty tuff but I can drive 3 to 6 hrs and be a hero.
Coyotes are quick learners & I would not have it no other way.
That what makes it so dam* much fun

If you want it easy take up a different sport.

Stumped.
 
Can't remember for sure, but didn't Dinnis Kirk make a video on hunting eastern coyotes that included instruction? Somebody here may remember the name of it or know where coyote wild can get it. kyray.
