We are about to release two of our cassette tapes on CD (yes, I know it is about time we do this). The instructional cassette tape and the Talking to Coyotes with the Song Dog will be on CD later this spring. Check back for availability.

Coyote Man, My Life With the Coyotes, written by J. R. (Ray) Alcorn and edited by Major Boddicker is available only through us. Check the Weekly Bulletin Board for details.

My book, Crit’R•Calling With the Major, is now back in print, just released this past year. It is an entertaining book, mixing anecdotes on calling with instructions on how to effectively call red fox, coyotes, and other critters. This 112-page book combines humor with answers to questions about predator hunting. I will personally autograph the first 100 copies if you so request. It is again included in the Pro Caller's Special. Check the specials on the order form.

"When someone calls me a reprobate, a low-down animal killer, stubborn, unreasonable, gold-plated S.O.B., frankly I have no argument with that description. In fact, they are good observers. So? Live with it. I have worked damned hard to earn my reputation. Quoting Ludy Sheda, the famous Iowa trapping philosopher/fur buyer (now deceased), what is important is to have a reputation. If it's good, that's okay; if it's bad, that's okay too. When you hire me, I get the job done the best I can do it."   Read about my adventure in Peru working for the Smithsonian doing a large mammal count. At Play in the Jungles of the Lord, Part I.

Attention Varmint Callers!

Crit'R∙Call is initiating a new feature for our Web site readers. We are going to post new and innovative calling techniques, tips, new twists on old techniques, and good old myths and varmint hunter chatter that might help add success to your hunting.

Crit'R∙Calls has the pleasure of posting the first new calling technique that we have run across in a long time. It was developed and reported to us by a long-time friend and Crit'R∙Call exclusive dealer in Scandinavia, John Opdahl. John has been an innovative predator and big game caller in Norway and Sweden for 25 years. He calls the rugged wet Norwegian forests where the action is close and personal.

Click here to read John Opdahl's recent letter to me and his Bird Wing and PeeWee Calling Set Story

Note: This technique works well in heavy timber and brush cover, especially around wolf, lion, bear, and coyote kills, domestic animal carcass dumps, and other places where predators are known to be feeding. It creates a tantalizing varmint-attracting illusion. We thank John for sharing this with us.
