No - just my friends from Missouri. Drove out for a family visit. And of course hunting - there is always hunting. doesn't happen be the Butlers? No sir

We had some boys in town from Missouri for a predator calling trip. I asked them if they'd like to go after coyotes, fox, bobcat or a lion. Of course they said they'd like to get a lion while they were here (as if it's that easy). Then - one of them jokingly said "hey, let's get one of each". I said, that's a tall order in 2.5 days - let's get rolling pronto.... Well - we got 3 of the 4. Started out on day one with a coyote on the opening stand. A mix of coyote vocals and small prey distress closed the deal: Picked up and hauled butt for a place to get a fox with thick fur and lots of red in the coat. Found the right one on day two: Stayed in generally the same area and called the deep wooded cuts for a bobcat. As day 2 was coming to a close - bam - here he comes to a mix of young female coyote vocals, rodents, birds, a rabbits and - boom - down he goes: Evidently the half day we had left just wasn't enough time for me to get a mountain lion called up too. Oh well. It certainly wasn't for a lack of effort. All were called with a Wildlife Technologies Might Atom 21 electronic call. All were shot with DPMS Compact Hunter rifles. It probably goes without saying - yes - those are items we stock at HEALY. And, if you've never heard a Mighty Atom e-caller - do yourself a favor and come on in for a demo. Please bring your current caller with you for comparison's sake. It's time to hear what your predators have been missing.

No - just my friends from Missouri. Drove out for a family visit. And of course hunting - there is always hunting.

So... A guy comes in the store to get some GLOCK 17 mags. Roger tells him yes we have them right here, and hands the guy a mag. The guy says - this is a high-cap mag, do you have a 10 rounder? Roger says - oh you must live in California The guy says - no I live in Tucson, but the current federal government mandate is for 10 rounder mags Roger says - yes, but you live in a free state and the federal magazine ban expired, you can can have the good ones The guy says - yes but the maximum mandated by the current administration is 10 rounds. I'm going to support them and only buy 10 rounders. As I scratch my head and think, good lord - you just can't make this stuff up...

Here's a $100 Safeway gift card and a bus pass to Orange County. We'll melt that menacing thing down for you (one steel match at a time).

Better yet... We don't even carry them. Hey dude - how about a real magazine and 7 snap caps? If that won't get 'er done for you call a gun shop in Kalifornia.

Oh heck no - Mr. astronaut wants the good stuff. He just doesn't think YOU should have the good stuff. If he comes in I'll steer him to the drum mags. Everyone else - flintlocks

Wildlife Callers’ Lion Calling Expert Dave Martens and his shooter Dan Tone are the first hunters in AZ to record a lion harvest under the new “Daylong” hunting rules. Dan Tone and Arizona's First Nighttime Lion Since 2011 Rule Changes Just 2.5 weeks after we reported the new Arizona nighttime hunting regulations for mountain lions on THIS POST, Dave Martens of Wildlife Callers and Dan Tone (who’s been featured on the WC Blog before) set out in one of the nighttime lion hunting areas and connected with a mature 7-9 year old female cougar – the actual age will be determined by the AZ Game & Fish. The lion took about 30-32 minutes to arrive on the stand and came to a mixed bag of sounds. Here are some of the details: Arizona Mountain Lion and Deuce the Lion Calling Jack Russel Locations: When you think of nighttime lion hunting think of bighorn sheep. Heavy lion predation has long been a issue for bighorn herd growth and sustainability around AZ, accordingly the locations in AZ for hunting lions at night have been chosen by the AZ Game & Fish biologists to provide the most relief to the Desert and Rocky Mountain Bighorn populations. There isn’t a hunt unit listed in the Arizona Game and Fish lion hunting regulations that we haven’t scouted or hunted, and not found lion sign in. Actually, we’ve called lions in most of the special units, so to answer the obvious question “where is the best place to go find lions” — all of the special bag units have lions — actually the whole state has lions. Sounds: Dave’s calling style is typically mix-it-up and throw out an active multi-critter sound scene for the predator to get interested in. We’ve said it here before – you can’t confuse a lion by playing sounds that typically don’t go together – they’re not that smart. Thus, when you create a completely unbelievable sound scene by playing ten minutes of mixed rabbit & small bird distress, followed by several minutes of deer fights and deer distress, followed by javelina sounds and distress, the lion never says ‘hey…I know that would NEVER happen in nature.” It’s just sound stimulus – nothing more – there are no bad sounds. Mix it up. Dan Tone, Deuce, and an AZ Mountain Lion The Caller: As is always the case, Dave was using his Wildlife Technologies Mighty Atom 21. If you haven’t heard one, do yourself a favor and give us a call — truly amazing. The Hunt: Dave & Dan chose the calling location based on past experience in the area. Dave has called near the area before and seen plenty of sign along the long ridge lines and hardpan wash bottoms the area is known for. They kept the caller less than 20 yards away from them when they set up along the side of a dry wash. The moon was nearly full and visibility was pretty good. The plan was to, if possible, leave their spotlights & high intensity flashlights off until a lion was spotted or something was heard nearby that needed lighted investigation. Dave had been playing his varied & lengthy list of sounds for about 30 minutes when the form of a solitary lion was spotted walking toward the speaker. The lion arrived on Dan’s side of the caller and was closing toward the speaker in a deliberate and unhurried fashion. Dan raised his 12 gauge and waited patiently while the lion continued to close on the speaker. The lone lion eventually cut the distance to the speaker down to just 6-yards and came to a stop. Dan activated the high-intensity light mounted on his shotgun and looked at the lion for a few seconds. He immediately confirmed what he already knew, the lion was a large, mature cougar. Boom! Dan shot the lion with a load of #4 buckshot and at just 19-20 yards away it was killed immediately. Good View of the Large Shoulders and Head on the Lion Night Calling Logistics: Dan said that hunting lions at night should continue to be more and more productive as they learn more about doing it and better ways to set up. But, he cautioned, the logistics of calling after the sun goes down are more complex than in daylight. He said that something as small as a poorly designed spotlight or a flashlight that’s not bright enough can ruin a stand. Stand selection takes longer. Walking to the stand takes longer. Tripping hazards with guns, callers, and extra gear makes things interesting. And oftentimes once you’ve set up and think you’re in a good spot, you turn on the light only to find you really have almost zero visibility and have to move. Takeaways: Scouting and field experience cannot be underestimated. Dave has spent many hours in this area scouting for lion sign, using trail cameras to confirm hunches, and calling during the daytime when it wasn’t legal to call at night. His expertise and knowledge really paid off. If you like what you’ve read here please - Sign up for our free newsletter! Thanks again for reading – your comments are welcome below.

We helped coordinate some Army Company rifle/pistol purchases & transfers while some of our AZ Guard guys were overseas in Afghanistan. Once they'd gotten back home and had picked up their new firearms & gear they asked us what they owed us. Of course the answer was nothing - thanks for serving, aim small miss small and have a great week... Well - they returned the favor today with this shadowbox thank you. To say the least, we were really taken aback with the level of class these guys demonstrated.

And LAPD said: "the streets are little safer tonight because.... blah blah blah blah" Total theater - useless theater at that.

Hey Amanda - are you setting up a Coues Whitetail table? It would be great to have CW on hand.

Thanks Dan! Let us know if the change goes through for e-callers. +1 - wouldn't that just make my year...

The burden to prove a crime beyond a resonable doubt rests with the state (at least it's supposed to). In the absence of some evidence to present to a judge that shows the simultaneous actions of pursuit of a particular species and available method of take, what probable cause for arrest is there? Looking at a deer through binoculars in the adsence of a deer tag and the presence of a rifle doesn't prove intent to kill that deer. There simply needs to be more to make a case. Heck the 2nd Ammendment puts the rifle legally in your possession - "I carry this rifle because I don't know who or what I'll run into out here". G&F officers have their work cut out for them - getting to probable cause in the vastness of the AZ wilderness is tough. If would be great if a sworn G&F could weigh in and give their 2 cents from a position of experince and past cases.

Thanks - it's ready for pick up
