[Founder]

We need a new giveaway going and more fun photos to look at. So, let's see some of your past Predator Hunting Success Photos. Lions, bears, coyotes, wolves, etc.
Share some details about each photo too!

We'll run the contest for a few weeks and then I'll draw winners from those who share photos.

The contest prizes will be a Phone Skope Kit for 1st place and Pyro Putty and an Arch Lighter for 2nd place. Thanks to the folks at Phone Skope for the gear! If you don't already own the a Phone Skope, then get over to their site and get one......that is if you don't win one here! It's a valuable piece of gear to have with you for helping to preserve your hunting and scouting adventures.

Here’s my 2023 Utah Bear, shot him from the ground sneaking into my stand after a good rainstorm, I definitely have the bear hunting bug now.

What a beauty!!! Looks like you smashed him with an R.P.G. I killed 3 black ones, really want a color phase now.

Nothing better than an opportunity to save a few fawns and lambs. Shot this guy at around 12 yards with a 6.5-20 scope. Hard to see them through the scope at that distance.

Spring time in Wyoming Can be Fun.

This was my first coyote. This was about 4 years ago. He was running when I shot him and he rolled. Me and my little brother (on the left) walked up to him and he jumped up and started running I hip shot my 6.5 creedmoor and killed him for good. Crazy to see how much we have grown in a few years.

I was coyote calling from the roof of my son's cabin a few years ago. My remote controlled caller, along with a random orbiting coyote tail, was set up just a few yards to the north with a couple thousand BLM acres as a backdrop. I had my .220 Swift Savage single shot, a Benelli M4 and my suppressed H&K .45 laid out in front of me.

Late in the afternoon, I had this guy come up to the call and I wanted to see how close he would come.

He came close enough to put a single 230g HP behind his right ear from about 30yards out.

Good times

 

[punchy]

This was about 10 years ago me and my little brother with a dog my dad shot. I begged him to get it tanned. It still hangs in my bedroom to this day.

My last coyote hunt with my son just before he left on an LDS mission to the big apple New York. He comes home in 6 months. Yeah I’m counting the days!!

Mountain Coyotes can be few and far between but are my favorite

 

[Homer]

Stud black bear awesome color on him! Did you turn him into a rug?

 

[Buckarooman17]

Just had finished putting together a 6.5 Creedmoor for a truck gun. I was shooting 95 grain Vmax thinking it would be great for coyotes. Might have been a little too much gun.

No-went with a full body mount, but kind of wish I would have done a rug sometimes

What chunk! Any clue how much that bear weighed?

 

[Hunter53]

I will throw something a little different in; coon calling in the day time with my wife.
Those all came out of that one tree within 10 minutes.

 

[Hunter53]

Watched this bobcat come from around 300 yards sneaking along a field edge. Came in SLOW as it took him almost 20 minutes to cover that ground.

 

[JPickett]

I like this one too

[Houndsman77]

My biggest coyote and my first with an AR.

 

[El Gringo]

I hunted for one like this for 20 years….

 

[El Gringo]

This one is my first with my new (to me) .22 Hornet, just a week ago

 

[El Gringo]

My only Lion… Pretty cool experience behind some good dogs. He had killed a Bull Elk, and was laid up by his kill, which got him, that day.

 

[money]

2024 Lion I was able to kill with some friends. Ended a 26 year quest for a big lion.

[Smokepole]

My daughters San Juan Monster Bear from 2013, just missed B&C.

 

[MrShane]

My 2021 Utah Bear with my wife by my side every time, she loved it more than I did.
We fed this big boy a lot of old donuts till he finally slipped up and his sweet tooth brought him in about 20 minutes before dark.
Prior to that slip-up he had us trained to feed him every fourth or fifth day.
Donuts will kill you!

 

[JakeH]

This was from a few days ago.

 

[maxpower]

Awesome thread.

My brother went out chasing cats yesterday and got this cool shot of a kitten (no toms that day).

 

[HunterHarry]

My 10 foot 1, Boone &Crockett Kodiak Brown Bear.
15 day backpack hunt.
Hunt of a lifetime...

 

[Dioni]

Here's my best lion. He was the fifth cat we trailed that day all on foot. We had already covered 9 miles (the dogs had done 10x that) and all of the dogs were limping their way along the trail heading back to the truck when the wind switched and they air scented this cat just a hundred yards below us. I've never seen an animal come alive so fast. All of the dogs exploded running like they were fresh again The cat jumped tree and only went a few yards before he climbed back in another. We were still 3 miles from the truck and unfortunately had to bone him out. He was 1/8 out from being B&C we guessed he was close to 180lbs.

That’s awesome, coon calling never thought of that…

 

[Hunter53]

That’s awesome, coon calling never thought of that…

If you ever try it; the 2 best sounds to use are young coon distress and coon fight.
Find any place they den up like big trees and big brush piles.

Winners Have Been Drawn!

Lots of great photos to look at. I sure appreciate all of you who joined in and shared photos. Thank you all

@DBLung wins the Phone Skope Kit
and
@PerezA scores the Pyro Putty and an Arch Lighter

Be sure before getting out for your scouting trips this summer to get yourself a Phone Skope. It's nice to have with you in case you see something and don't want to forget what he looked like.
