The Christian Hunters of America Podcast Christian Hunters of America

In this episode we sit down with our very own Mike Ornoski and listen while he instills years of knowledge as it relates to processing your wild game.  
There's nothing better than enjoying the meat from an animal you harvested and it all starts with proper planning, tools, and equipment to clean and process you game meat.  Mike talks about what he uses in the field as well as tips and tricks to turn that whole animal into manageable pieces to pack out and process in the field or at home.
We hope you gain some knowledge from this episode and aren't overwhelmed the next time a cooler full of meat is starring you in the face.  The more time you take to practice proper techniques will allow for more efficient processing.

In this epsiode we spoke with Wayne Wilson from the Phoenix Varmint Callers Inc.  Wayne is a past president of PVCI and has decades of knowledge to share when it comes to hunting Mr. Wile E. Coyote and other varmints.
Wayne shares his advice on calling, setups, scouting and lots of other tips on how to be successful when hunting coyotes, foxes, and bobcats.



Here is a little background on the group PVCI.
The PVCI has a rich history, and being a varmint caller means a lot to many individuals. During the past 30 years, the membership has swelled to over 300 and shrunk to less than 15. The club seems to represent more than just a forum where individuals with similar interest can meet. Members of the PVCI are among the most sincere, dedicated sportsmen to be found in any organization. Many have welded lifelong friendships with fellow members. Through the years PVCI has been the catalyst providing the enthusiasm for the outdoor writers, animal biologist, photographers, wildlife managers and qualified Game and Fish commission candidates. But most important of all, through sharing skills and techniques it has allowed us to excel in a unique sport virtually unequaled for action, excitement, and self-satisfaction
