Lion and Boar Hunter,

Have you ever dropped hounds with Gary Roberson?  I know he is one of the best cat callers in the nation. He runs running hounds on the bobs. I'm just curious if you know him.

As for as JP I'm pretty sure he chase's Bob.  Shocked Shocked

hey Josh,  

Gary is the owner of Burnham Brothers calls.  I call with some of buddies very often and call with his nephews and brother.  We won the los Cazadores predator contest a few months back.  He is a pretty good caller, but Doug Wadsworth whom was featured in a few predator magazines is probably the best in this area that is close to Jesse.  if you ever come down this way like you always say you are well go call with him.  I added a pic of my last hunt with them.  I use a lot of calls that "Trapper2" makes out of horn as well.

Matt, is there anything you can't do?   Grin

I had no idea you were into calling?  Between the hogs and dove, I did not think you had the time.  You must have a loving wife with hobbies of her own.  Wink

That was a 24 hour hunt 2pm saturday to 2pm sunday.  We drove 3 hours from here to Oilton, TX called the afternoon and some at night and a few calls in the morning, and drove 3 hours back.  I grew up with Gary's nephew's here in Devine.  All very good people.  Gary's brother Russell has some of the best blood trailing lacy's around us.  Gary is the also the one who designed the Savage 10xp Predator gun.

Hey you remember that big black bull "Blacky" that you liked.  Cow's is her thing and hunting is my thing.  Although she likes it all as well except i haven't been able to talk her into predator calling yet.  I sit behind a desk running numbers all day long, so i have to have some way of releiving that tension.  I'm an outdoors guy and it kills me everyday to be indoor.

If I am not mistaken, I think I read he was also the first to have the original Mossy Oak team hunt in Texas.  He also sells property with the Mossy Oak Properties group.  I know he told me in the past he has some huge parcels of land to hunt.  Greater than 100,000 acres specifically.   Grin

That's a lot of land.  Very cool to know that you personally know him.  Tell him I said hi next time you see him.

Well if we had a buyer anywhere around hear i would sell them but i don't know of one.  My cats i mount if there worth it though.  Otherwise i will give them to a local taxidermist.  This is my most recent one i just got back not too long ago.

I am good at running the copy call, but that hand calling is slowing coming around.  i use the Burnham Brother Black Magic and the new horn calls i got from "trapper2" Ryan Arrington.  Next time your around my woods Alan we should hit the calls.  I go alone more often then not, becuase i can't beg someone to go with me.

I had a cat done several years ago that I harvested with my bow.  He was 35 #'s on the scale.  Beautiful yellow -tinted coat.  Not really any nice spots to speak of.  The guy messed him up as far as I'm concerned.  I don't even hang him on my wall.  The eyes just don't look right.  Your mount looks nice.

One of these days I'm going to get back that way again. It's been a year since I've been to Leakey and I'm jonesing pretty bad! Thanks for the offer.

I love mouth calling but the combination of both are really deadly on call shy coyotes. Looks like you have a dang good handle on it to me!

That is awesome Josh.  I just got a bow not too long ago and haven't shot it yet.  That one thing i have never done.  I think that is another level of hunting with you can shoot a predator with a bow.  congrats on that.  I'll post a pic of my other mount that i don't care for.  The guy does a great job with cats here in our home town but i don't like the set up of my other one.
