Has anyone ever used Predator calls? There are many on the market for hunters, and I wondered if they work and what thoughts some of you may have? Do you consider it cheating, cruel, or the best way to get a shot?



The fact that there are so many on the market tells you they work, or the hunters wouldn't be buying them. It is only cheating if it is unlawful to do so in your area. It isn't cruel because you are doing no harm to the animal. For some animals, it is about the only way to get them into range to photograph them. Using calls are not easy, you have to learn how to use them and when to use them. In some areas, electronic calls are not legal to use while in other areas, they are legal to use. Check with your local Fish & Game department to see what is legal and they might be able to recommend somebody to teach you how to use them. Wildlife photography uses the same skills as hunting or trapping. Want to be a better wildlife photographer? Be a better biologist, hunter and/or trapper and your photography skills in wildlife will get better.
