Hunters Specialties has announced the addition of two new turkey calls to its lineup, designed by champion turkey caller Paul Butski. Termed the Butski "Long Stroker" and the Butski "Original," each call has some distinctive attributes that set it apart from the rest. 

The Long Stroker is a long-boat paddle-style box call. It can be used to scream excited yelping and cutting, perfect qualities for long-distance calling. The call can also function as a locator however, and even does some close-in work. This is all down to the call's long stroke, which Mr. Butski realized produces more turkey vocals. The call is constructed of select American walnut topped off with an exotic Purple Heart lid. MSRP: $49.95

The Original Cutter is a copy of the original cutter mouth call that Mr. Butski designed in 1980. It is a three-reed call stretched extra tight, to process some major air for hard cutting and yelping, but will also whisper some sweet, quiet notes at the end. MSRP: $9.99

Michigan Mayor Looks Down on Guns and Dogs

“If you’ve got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand. NRA-ILA also noted that in his response to a police K-9 chasing down a suspect, LaGrand said: “It is time that we ask, ‘What are dogs good for?’ Like, if you need a dog to find someone in the woods, get a hound dog. If you need to chase somebody in a backyard, why couldn’t you do that with a drone? If my dog did what I saw in that video, I’d put my dog down.”

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
