Hey guys,
I'm kinda new here, but not to the EBRs. I do alot of hunting ( deer, turkey, elk, you name it I hunt it). My favorite form of hunting is calling the animals within range. To those that have tried it, you know how challenging that can be. About 18 months ago I dicided to make a video on the type of hunting I enjoy the most. PREDATORS. I have been hunting predators for over 20 years. In the video I will share many tips, and tactics learned through the years. My rifle of choice for hunting predators is the AR 15. I think you guys will really enjoy the video. Lots of Action (27 kills). For more info on me and my video I have some ads in the Equip. Excchange forum (under "Access. & Misc. & under "Everything Else"). Look for new predator video. Its available in VHS and DVD format. Thanks, Byron South |

You guys are jumping the gun a bit. I believe [b]cttc1[/b] is one of our new Industry Partners, so, for the time being, lets cut him a little slack. [:)]

I got prior aproval, (Kevin and Juan) they said I could introduce myself, and my product in some of the discution forums, and direct them to my E.E. ads. I'm sorry if I did something out of line. new to the internet. Just doing as advised.
Thanks Byron |

Guys, like Mbsk01 says Byron is a new advertiser, though since Goaty hasn't had a chance to update his membership I can understand the confusion.
Anyway, my varmit hunting experience is limited, but this guy can sure call them in. H has one coyote that almost ran into (look for yourself) Check out the clips: They're sure getting called in close [url]http://www.comingtothecall.com/videos/video.htm[/url] Even if your not into hunting is pretty amazing how close these animals are coming into him |
|
Shoooosh, that was close, brand new here, and almost got the axe. Thanks for getting it straighted out so fast. I was't sure what was going on. I type with two fingers, so by the time I got back it was all stightened out. That was quick. Thanks.
I think you guys will really enjoy the video. We use almost exclusively the AR 15. Lots of action. |
|
Why all of this "IBTL" bullshit on this subject? Is everyone ignorant to varmint hunting? Calling coyotes, bobcats, foxes, etc. is perfectly legal in most places. Even if [b]cttc1[/b] isn't an "industry partner," SFW???? It's just another legal activity for which an AR15-type rifle is particularly suited. Jesus Christ.

Jim_Dandy-I think they were just pointing out that normally advertising is not allowed in General Discussion, not anything about the subject matter itself.

Thanks Byron View Quote Don't let this worry you, IBTL runs everyones post counter up one which for some reason they get a kick out of. Also the more posts that hit this post the more people that will read it so it's kind of a good thing for what you want to do. You are not the first and it is customary for a new Industry Partner to do a similar post to this. Good luck with your product. Alot of guys have done quite well off this site. Tj |

Welcome!
I checked out your videos but could not view them- it said "unable to download appropriate compressor", so what codec is it? |
|
Hi Byron,
Welcome to the board. It was nice meeting you, your brother and lady at the Hun Farm in April. mm |

Quoted: I got prior aproval, (Kevin and Juan) they said I could introduce myself, and my product in some of the discution forums, and direct them to my E.E. ads. Thanks Byron View Quote Yes you do and can. Post away and welcome. [beer] BTW Byron, weren't you at the Hun farm back in April. I think I met you there. I was the tall Filipino guy. If I recal you were showing your vids Sat. night. |
|
Thanks for the welcome guys.
Yes, that was my wife, and I at the Hun farm. Had a great time.I fact alot of the footage on my video was shot wthin 30 or 40 miles of there. I understand alot of you guys don't hunt,and thats fine with me, as long as I don't get lectured on why I shouldn't. There is alot of killin in my video. If you don't agree with killin varmits I'm not here to change your mind. Thanks Byron |

Normally by now someone would have shown up and pointed out dealer cost on these is about $4.95 and that you can buy them at Wal Mart, etc. [:D] |

That 7mm knocked that coyote for a loop!

Thanks
If you liked the clips you'll love the video. How many of you guys hunt. Never been around as many "gun nuts" that don't hunt. Mater of fact I can't think of anybody I know of that has guns, and don't hunt. Except for the ranchers, and they carry a rifle in the truck for coyotes. What do ya'll do with your ARs? Thanks again. Byron |

Byron View Quote Use to hunt myself, just don't have as much time anymore. Still have my deer camp with hope of starting again soon. Most of the guys just stare at their ARs all day, hug them, hold them, and sleep with them. You know the normal stuff.[:D] |

Welcome to the board, and the video looks to be a good one.
I've only been coyote hunting a few times here in Kentucky (with my AR15 of course). So far, no luck, although we know they were close, just couldn't see 'em. I've got one of those Randy Anderson videos, will have to get yours too, maybe you can teach me something I'm doing wrong. ...edited for spelling |
|
Thanks for the welcome.
My video is about half Eastern hunts, in terrain much like Kentucky. I go a little more into the "how to" aspect in my video than Randy. Had some great reviews from all over. Think ya'll will really like it. Hunting the hunters is the ultimate challenge. Their senses are the keenest on the planet. It can get frustrating, but hang in there. There is nothing like predator hunting to sharpen your woodsmanship skills. Good Huntin Byron |

holy crap, I've never hunted and seeing that coyotes tail twitching was enough to ensure I never will.
|
|
Thesacrafice,
Sorry, don't want to turn you off hunting. What did you think you were gonna see when you went to those clips? I don't want to turn you guys off but, if you have a problem seeing animals getting shot DON'T GO TO MY WEB SITE. I didn't think I'd have to explain what hunting is like here. I take every effort to make clean and humane kills, that's why I practice a lot. If it make you feel better, he was dead before he quit tumbling. I sincerely apologize if I've offended anyone. Byron |

Hey cttc1,
Nice having you here. I don't hunt anymore but use to thin the coyote population when I was younger. Quoted: What is IBTL? What is EBR? What is AR15? View Quote BTW you missed one: I'd hit it. ED |

Quoted: holy crap, I've never hunted and seeing that coyotes tail twitching was enough to ensure I never will. View Quote Don't knock it so quickly.....Coyote hunting, although fun (eventhough I haven't actually gotten my first one yet), it does serve a conservation purpose as well. These animals need hunted in some areas to help out with the survival of other species and to keep the coyotes from killing one another or starving from over predetation in areas. It may not be for everyone, but I would bet you would enjoy the thrill of the hunt, and just the being out in nature in general (I'm hooked).

Thanks for the support I was beginning to feel like the ugly girl at the dance.
It's funny to me how quick some people are so quick to condemn something they don't understand. Kinda reminds me of them people that want to take our guns. I ain't here to change no ones mind. If you don't like to hunt, that's fine with me. I figured I'd get some ridicule for the video and that's O K. I've got a thick skin and a clear conscience. By the way I still have a video for sale. Good Hunting Byron |

Good Hunting Byron View Quote [b]Byron[/b], welcome to the site!! Thanks for helping to support it, and we welcome your presence. There are many hunters here. I hope you hit the "Hunting Forum" too. I am an avid hunter--deer, turkey, squirrels, and rabbits now, but in the past (when there were some in my area) pheasants, quail, ducks, geese. I have tried predator hunting, but have done better with trapping and [s]shooting the bastards out the truck window[/s]. [:D] There are others too--EdAvilaSr, Lumpy223, Llanero, are a few that spring to mind, and I've [b]heard[/b] TheRedGoat has hunted a time or two. [:P] Again, welcome, and don't let the hecklers get to you--thick skin required, it's all part of the fun--and they're really helping you by "bumping" your thread back to the top of the list. When it matters we are very close here, we just have a funny way of showing it at times. Now, you are ONE OF US! [dracula] |

I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet... I do remember seeing Byron's video at the Hun Farm in April.
IIRC Most of the shots he takes are with an AR. Not an all out varmint rig, but a heavy barreled model. mm |
|
I was at my friends ranch in South Texas and attempted coyote hunting. I had a raspy caller and blew on that thing till I was blue in the face. I sat there forever. Next time, I'm gonna buy one of those electronic calls then sit off to the side and drink beer and hope something come out into the clearing.
I have seen some predators videos. I feel kinda bad when I see the yotes and cats get shot. But that's just hunting. I do love to blast the hell out of hogs, but have yet to ever get a a clean shot at a yote any cats. |
|
Thanks guys
the premise of my video is not just to watch a bunch of coyotes get shot, although if you like that stuff there's lot of it in it. It's an instructional video designed to help those wanting to learn about calling predators. I think you guys will enjoy it. if you got a queasy stomach don't get it. I did it in a tasteful way I believe. They do get shot on film but their no guts flying or gory stuff. Hell, my 7 year old daughter is in on one hunt, called a coyote within 3 yards of us. As mm38 mentioned the AR15 is used extensively. Thanks and Good Hunting Byron |

View Quote I don't hunt because I don't need to hunt to eat. Killing an animal for sustenance or protection is a task. I am not a vegetarian. I eat meat. I am by no means opposed to hunting, but I don't view it as a "sport". I believe in eating what you hunt and hunting only what will be eaten, unless you need to kill an animal which is dangerous to humans or livestock. That said: I was raised by a hunter/trapper. At a young age I knew how to trap (yes leghold traps requiring a quick kill if the animal was unfortunate enough to still be alive and invariably was), skin, and stretch everything from beavers to muskrats to small fox. We hunted deer, white tail and mule, and moose. But we ate everything we hunted out of necessity. I walked many many cut lines as a young kid looking for that elusive animal. Many dropped but were still alive when we got to them and bled them out. I enjoy shooting. I like to target shoot and plink with my AR15 and whatever other firearms are available to me. Give me a gun and I'll shoot it all day or until I run out of ammo. I just don't derive any enjoyment from killing living beings. TT |

Yankee I'll tell her you were impressed. I take my kids hunting every chance I get. If you teach your kids to hunt you want have to hunt your kids. I value the lessons I learned as a kid hunting, and try to instill the same values in my kids I too don't have to kill for meat. I can pay someone to do it for me, and put it in a pretty cellophane wrapper, or maybe hand it to me out of a drive through window. I love to hunt, and feed my family some of the purist, healthiest meat on the planet. I also trophy hunt for the challenge. Yes I hang their heads on the wall, but their meat is also in the freezer. I'm trying to raise my kids the same way I was raised. I respect anyone's right's to hunt or not hunt. I enjoy the challenge of the hunt whether I'm successful or not. Killing the animal is the closing of the deal on a successful hunt. I take a certain amount of gratification knowing I provided fresh meat for my family. I don't hunt because I enjoy killing but, you got to kill it before you grill it. Good Hunting Byron |

I just ordered a copy of the DVD.
Can't wait for it to get here. My grandpa will love it! Him and my cousin coyote hunt quite often, I however live in the "the big city" and can't hunt asmuch as I'd like to. |
