The following are field reports from some of our customers:

 

"For various reasons, I have had more trouble with electronics than I care for.  I told Fred he had caught my "hex" of bad luck with electronic players.  Since I had wanted to use Red Barbarossa's RedHunter calls (the Mini version) for quite some time, I figured this would be a good opportunity to employ his product.
 

A couple miles up the dirt road we turned off onto a side road and set up for a new try.  Fred caught eyes in the spotlight and I got the Savage pointed in the lights direction.  The way the animal moved made me think it was a bobcat.  I followed it in my scope until I could get a good view of him.   When the Savage fired, I heard the slap of the bullet and knew the earlier target practice had paid off.  We called a little longer, and then I walked out to collect my trophy.  It was a nice bobcat.  On the scale it weighted over twenty two pounds.  We took some photos and inserted the cat into a burlap bag.  (I skinned him later at home, and put him on a stretcher).

 

Fred and I reversed roles; I took the spotlight and Fred toted the rifle.   The moon was down most of our calling time, which worked well for us, although the last two animals (coyotes), I called while the moon was up.  The last three stands of the night produced two coyotes.  Fred missed the first one.  The coyote may have moved just as he fired.  Although, it was my turn to shoot, I told Fred to continue as shooter as I had an animal and wanted him to bag something.  The very next stand I called in another coyote to close range. The coyote stopped, but Fred wasn't quite able to get on him.  Next the coyote moved in a semicircle around us, and Fred took a shot at the close moving target.  The shot was a miss, which was disappointing to Fred, but at least he was having a share of the action. 

 

The entire time (from 6PM to 1AM) I used only the Mini Blaster III, RedHunter mouth call.  I liked the high pitch and was anxious to tell Red what good luck we had using his product.  In all, I called five Kit fox, a Grey fox, a bobcat, and two coyotes.  The action was spread out evenly the entire time and kept us keyed up for more fun.  I had collected my first trophy with the Savage, and called a bunch of critters with the new call."

Rick & Cesar bag another coyote with a Predator Magnet "7MM Mag" brass mouth call.  Rick tells me that this stand was a double.  Note call in Rick's hand.  The call looks like a cartridge case because it is made from one.  The hard brass gives the call an interesting tone.  Apparently, the coyotes thought so too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments From Out Texas Way...

 

Red, 
Your howler is awesome! It is the easiest to use cow horn howler I own (compared to a silver dog and a rude dog). It howls great makes a great bark. Ki-yis and yelps and whines are also very easy and very authentic sounding. I was using it last week and in conjunction with a rabbit distress call. I was using yelps and small barks and growls.
 
I was in a small clearing in a heavily wooded patch of land. I could hear some footsteps in the woods and a stick snapped under the foot of whatever it was out there. I could never get the critter to show itself. Where I hunt is much like hunting eastern coyotes, dense woods, thick underbrush. My weapon of choice is a Beretta 12-gauge with 3.5 magnum T-shot. They are out there because I have stirred up a pack at dusk several times but I cannot seem to get them to show themselves, I think the terrain lets them see me long before I can get a visual on them.
 
Back to the calls!! I could not be happier.  Yours is my go-to howler. Good call on the tactical camo finish, it's perfect for me and looks great. Thanks for touching base.

I decided to try one of the RedHunter medium range cottontail mouth calls.  I bought the Mini Blaster III.  I am jazzed because no longer than 15-seconds into the stand, I called in and shot a nice gray fox.  On my next stand, I called in a nice bobcat and nailed him too.  I like this call because it’s small, easy to carry, durable and projects a nice sound.  The reed does not stick either.

"I recently purchased a RedHunter Howler and a couple of your mouth calls.  I am happy to say that it was money well spent.  The calls bring in the animals and the howler's sounds are easy to master."

NOTE:  In April 09, Ken shot his 6.5 Grendel with a 16" barrel in a match topped with a HAWKE Sidewinder 30 scope.  He shot a 3" group at 420-yards using the SR6 reticle.
Jeff Young of Houghton, New York, nailed this mega-coyote weighing in at almost 65-pounds.  Check out the width of the FoxPro caller for a little perspective on the girth of the animal.  This is a biggie, although you can't really appreciate the mass of the animal in the photo.  Nice job Jeff and we wish you the best of luck in the future. 
Jeff Young of Houghton, New York scores another mega-Coyote.  This sucker is so big I had to post it too. 

Jeff says, ""Hey Red...thanks for the new Hawke Sidewnder 30, 4x16x50 scope. I mounted it on a Remington AR15 VTR SS varmint. I took my first shot at this dog and sent it down his kisser/see his broken lower jaw."- Jeff Young
I recently purchased both a Leupold and a Hawk scope for my hunting rifles.  I placed the Leupold on my 30-06 and the Hawk on my 22-250, and then headed to the range.   Both where zeroed at 100 yards with good results.  One of the things I wanted to do was test my 100 yard zero, at a 200 yard range.
 
One big advantage I saw with the Hawk scope was it comes with a ballistics program that allowed me to calculate my rifle trajectory, and printed out a trajectory graph that I was able to place on the scopes flip up protective cover.  This was a big plus for me since it took out all the guess work once I was on the 200 yard range.  With the program I knew just where my aiming point should be to hit the 200 yard target.
 
The difference between the hawk and Leupold was the Hawk SR-12 reticles.  I found the reticles extremely helpful once on the range.   I’m not trying to say that the Leupold is not a top of the line scope but the Hawk had several features that made my old eyes work like they did 25 years ago.   Also the day I went to the range there was a cross-wind of about 7 miles an hour blowing the SR-12 reticles also comes with Wind bars that proved helpful. 
Again the Leupold is a top of the line scope but I had to use Kentucky windage to walk my 30-06 into the target.  Since I had a good zero at 100 yards this wasn’t a hard task but it took three shoots to hit the center mass on the target as compared to the Hawk with the 22-250 first round was dead on but right, once I adjust for windage the second round was on target.
