Ike Eastman sits down with Jon Collins of FoxPro for a genuine conversation on predator hunting and why coyotes might just be the most addictive game animal in the country. A central Kentucky boy born and raised, Jon walks through how he stumbled into coyote hunting in his early 20s — calling in seven coyotes on his very first stand with a 300 Weatherby Magnum and a wooden closed-reed rabbit call — and how that morning changed the trajectory of his life. From there, Ike and Jon get into predator management as a real tool for land managers wanting bigger bucks, better turkey hatches, and healthier fawn recruitment, why you can't just hit coyotes once a year and call it good, how affordable thermal has reshaped night hunting, and where to start if you're brand new to the game. They also cover FoxPro's flagship X360, the new X48 dropping soon, why raccoon calling is some of the most fun you can have with your kids, and the three sounds every new predator hunter should learn to make.
