In this archived 12 Minute Talk, Wade breaks down the single most important factor in becoming a better predator hunter.

It’s not gear.
It’s not a new call.
It’s not a thermal upgrade.

It’s time.

Time in the field.
Time at the range.
Time scouting land.
Time watching coyotes.
Time learning the animal.

Wade dives into why more reps, more observation, and more understanding of coyote behavior will outpace any equipment upgrade, and why too many hunters overlook the fundamentals.

If you’re serious about leveling up your predator hunting, this one’s a must-listen.

In this archived episode, Clay Reid joins us for a no-filter conversation on contest hunting, shotgun setups, thermals, and what it really takes to stack coyotes year after year.

We get into:

• Shotgun-only contests out West

• Tungsten vs lead (and why it matters)

• ARs vs shotguns in thick country

• Thermal changing the predator game

• Time management in contests

• Social media drama and industry egos

If you’re serious about predator hunting, this one’s loaded.

In this archived 12 Minute Talk, we break down my personal night vision setup for predator hunting when I’m not running visible lights.

This is the exact configuration I rely on for nighttime calling, built around an 18” 22 Creedmoor in a KRG chassis, and why I prefer scanning with thermal but shooting through night vision.

We cover:

• Why I choose 22 Creedmoor for a night rig

• Clip-on night vision vs. dedicated thermal optics

• White phosphor advantages

• Laser rangefinder placement and real-world use

• Illuminators and when they matter

• Why flat-shooting calibers are critical at night

• Practical field workflow for ranging and holds

This is a deep dive into the gear, reasoning, and lessons learned from running this system extensively in the field.
