Hiders,

I'm not the usual for writing reviews, and living in a state with out laws favoring suppressors I have to live vicariously through those that do. Hopefully someday the MN lawmakers will see the light like our neighbor to the west and allow responsible gun owners to can their guns.

Member c_bass16 recently sent me a copy of hi video "Predator Hunting Suppressed", He knew there were a pile of Minnesota boys baking in the sun and training in Kuwait, so he dropped me a line. I don't personally know him other than that my wife went to school with him.

APO got the DVD to me, and a bunch of gun nerds, farm boys, Scouts, Snipers, and a Medic sat down to watch the coyote hunt. These guy filed a good portion of their hunts by themselves, and did a really good job at managing the camera, call, rifle and shot. The Video quality was fantastic, not being a camera person, I can't say for sure, but it all looks as if its filmed in HD, audio is fantastic, and the clips are long enough to give you a sense of set up, but short enough to be exciting.

As far as instruction, the video outlines the calls they are using, a little about the rifles, set ups, and tactics for when your standard calling techniques and sets aren't working. From the predator hunts I have done, I can say one thing for sure; they never turn out the way I figured they would. Dogs are always one step ahead of me, and that one of the things I like the most about it. There are sets these guys use that are specifically in there to show the viewer how to go about changing things up for when the vermin just won't cooperate.

All of the hunts are suppressed, not knowing all that much suppressors I'll leave that to Joe, my amount of know how on cans is limited to the M110 and its suppressor. It's the only one I've used and it's all I really know.

The video is well worth a watch guys, great hunts, good info and outstanding camera work. My all time favorite shot of them all was one capturing trace from a 175SMK down and in to the head of a coyote running away from the shooter, that got more than a few rewinds and reviews.

Give it a look, you won't be disappointed, predator hunter or not. Its a fun video and like all good videos there is info in there I think anyone can learn from.

And...a big thanks to Joe for sending it our way. Long days in the desert are, well, long. And this was a great pick up for the guys to watch.
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

<-------------OH so jealous!

Gotta love SD, family has property around hot springs for pheasant hunting, and I'll go call for dogs before the hunt starts.
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

That's great, I'm going to pick up a copy. My longest shot so far was 770 yards earlier this year.

Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

Congrats. Believe my...I know how hard that is.
I'm just telling you what OUR MOTTO is.
A distance kill shot claim without video, is no different than a 5 shot group claim without a picture. No one really doubts it, but they don't put much weight in the story either.

We never leave home without the camera.
If we had a dog dialed in at 1200 yds and the camera battery dies...the trigger wouldn't even be pulled.

For us, its not worth it. No one cares what we do if they can't see it.

Again. I'm not doubting, lots of guys have done it, but VERY FEW have evidence.

I hear ya... BUT if you sat @ our booth during a gun show, you first would be entertained, a little later you would become amused, then you would flat our become annoyed... when I have the .416 (which I have personally shot @ 1200-2000yds) along with the vector IV on our table, I've seriously had guys tell me they have rangefinders like my IV that read the wind as well as range, really, LOL... when we have the DVD playing and you literally SEE the vapor trail of the round kill the dog @ 350yds, you always get the guys, OH, I've shot one running @ 800yds with my 22-250, mmmmK... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the guy didn't pound that dogs ass @ over 700yds, I'm sure he did, but when I brag... I'll be posting the proof in HD.
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

I would post the 1017 Yard Coyote Greybull Precision video but I'm sure you guys have seen it. That's the Farthest video I've found so far of a coyote shot on video.
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

I've love to get some video of a long range kill, but that's going to be darn hard on my own, trying to film and then shoot. I took some video of me shooting a 10" steel gong at 800 this weekend using a tripod and 30X on my sony camera and the video looks great on my 55" tv, but the videos are only about 45 seconds and they are about 120mb long.

I also went out this weekend and I saw 4 coyotes, but they were at least 2000 yards out and I only brought my AR. They didn't come any closer though, probably because of the full moon earlier this week - so I guess they had already eaten. I'm willing to try though, so I'll bring my camera from now on.

I'm also going to re-barrel my crusader in .260 to make the long shots easier.

not sure where you live but the warm weather and un prime fur, has shut me down until next Nov. BTW, great choice in caliber, that 260 will be a long range dog pounder, I guarantee it!!!
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

I live in Idaho near a vast desert. There are lots of extinct volcanos and lava buttes that you can climb and see 360 degrees. The area is infested with coyotes and they look almost white against the lava flows and are very easy to spot.

I was out in north east Idaho last Sept. Wolf hunting and your part of the country is beautiful it look like it would be hard to call a coyote in those lava areas. Our country is wide open and allows us to see them coming from a long ways off. It would be a fun challenge to call out there
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

I happened to be running the camera last winter when we took a shot at 1131 yds due to rapidly approaching sunset. The coyote was on approach but at its pace....we would have been out of light to film, so we took a long range poke with the .260.

The problem with a 1.8 second flight path...is when the dog isn't sitting or at least stationary...you've gotta hope he isn't going to move after you send it.
A flea on his ass saved this ones life...but at least it's on film.

ahhh, yes I remember this one, after further review, the flea did save his ass from a nice little head shot.

Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

Very cool video. That said I would rather put my hard earned cash into equipment and ammo than camera stuff. Making shots are for my enjoyment not proving anything to you. No reason to doubt the guy that made the 700 yard shot. All he was doing was trying to add to your thread.

I would rather put money towards my weapons and equipment as well, that said no one doubted the guys shot... and yes you have everything to prove to "skeptics", after all how many of you would of believed our story, -20degress wc, just getting ready to leave the set, and a pack of 7 coyotes come charging in, and my gunner zips 3 in a matter of seconds, not to mention all solo kills, some would believe, but many more wouldn't... all I'm saying is this, when you brag about doing something that most guys, haven't done or cant do, be prepared to prove it, and if you don't feel the need to prove it, be prepared to deal with skeptics... I'm not saying just because you don't have video proof, it didn't happen, it just helps with the story line... that's all.
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

Cool videos anyway. No problem. I was just saying not everyone has those fancy cameras.
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

He did have a dead dog still so we do know he at least got one at some range.

I know what you mean buddy, I started off with a little 400.00 sony handycam!!!
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

I understand skepticism of internet claims and I'm not offended. I am a little confused though, because my shot was not incredible, unbelievable, or particularly amazing. If someone claims to have taken a moose at 1000 yards with a .22, by all means, flame away. That shot was taken with maybe a 2-3 MPH tail wind and 0 mirage after ranging him (and the area around him) 3 times, and then consulting my chart. And this was only the second time I had ever been coyote hunting.

Today at the range I set up my 12" X 12" steel plate at 800 yards at nailed on the first 5 shots with a 15 mph crosswind - a much harder shot for me. I don't know why I bothered to mention that, as I didn't film it and put it on youtube, ha ha.

Anyway, shooting things suppressed from a long ways away is fun - the real reason for this thread. I usually miss on my first shot beyond 900 yards, which is why I have decided to ditch .308 for .260 and my AAC suppressor for a TBAC 30-BA, which I ordered off of the group buy right here on Snipers Hide!
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

Now that I have mentioned my best coyote hunt, I'll relate the story of my worst. My cousin and I went out on the desert 3 weeks ago. I told him that he could take the first shot, in light of the fact that he hasn't gotten one yet. I brought my suppressed 8" Noveske 300 blackout with some subsonics because I thought it would be cool to use that, if I got the chance.

So we use his alpha dog to call one in. The coyote comes in to about 100 yards. My cousin takes the shot with his .243 and completely misses so I open up with my SBR. I miss too, the coyote bolts, and I proceed to miss the next 15 or so shots. Every shot was at least a foot low and a couple of feet behind.

Those subsonics are painfully slow when your trying to shoot a dog on the run, and my dot sight is sighted for supersonics. Live and learn.

That sounds more like my type of dog hunting. That's why I let others shot first. "I was trying to hit it on a dead run, what's your excuse?" otherwise I go alone soon one knows that I missed.
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

Ya, you let us take the first shot? Are you sure thats not just EZ going "click". Cause that doesn't count as a shot.
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

Ah the joyous click "damn" from EZ will never get old. What was that last dog 20 rounds at 450? Luckily it ran into one of the rounds.

That motto has saved alot of coyote from being killed.At least four of them lived another day(but not too many days after that)with me trying to film,call and shoot at the same time this year.Now I just kill them and don't really give a rats ass about filming.I wish NY would let us use cans.I've had times where two or three would come in and I'd only get one dog.The terrain I hunt isn't wide open,but a can would surely make it possible for getting a second,or third shot off.I just built a 300 blackout AR and maybe that second shot might be possible with quieter sub loads + a little luck.Great viseo.
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

Just got my copy in. Great footage. Can't wait for #2.
 
Re: Predator Hunting Suppressed

20 rnds my butt. 3rd shot was the charm. The other 17 rnds were cause the dang dog wouldnt die when we tracked him down. He was a stubborn little bugger. Atleast I hit him. Didnt see you shooting much, oh ya, you were crying cause you left your suppressor home. HAHAHA! I'm stocked to hear the famous EZ click again this summer. It just makes my day every time.
