I will miss your videos Les. Your straightforward advice and common sense approach contributed greatly to my coyote hunting success. As a former cast member of a reality TV show, I witnessed a lot of the same questionable behavior from the production company and the network. Most people do not realize that unless your show is wildly popular or mainstream, the reality of being on TV is not glamorous at all. It is very competitive and there is no loyalty. It is a lot of work, and your contributions and talent serve only to line the pockets of others. It's the ultimate stick and carrot game. Congrats to you for stepping back and not letting them abuse you. Hope to see you in my in box soon. Good luck. GO BIG RED.

I have watched them grow astonishingly since that time. You are right, TV is not going to keep up with his success on that show. Glad to hear you are still doing some of this though, my daughter and I both own ruffidawgs. We will support anything you do!

Les thanks for all your past work. I have been after coyotes for over 40 years. I have learned a lot but as you know there is always mistakes and more to learn. Your information has always been rock solid and honest. I think you and your cameramen have done a great job. I borrowed a old mouth call from my grandpa when I was 16. Had just got my drivers license, went and called in a double, shot gunned the first one and missed with my .243 on the second. Was so happy to trick them close and get one. Hooked since that day, still love the shotgun kills. When I got home that day my family was packing suitcases. My grandpa had died while I was out hunting. One other thing, thanks to my dad for stressing the importance of gun safety. Carrying 2 guns and knowing when to load and unload and how to always be aware of where your muzzles are. Didn't mean to get so long winded but I feel strongly about the sport, it is so much fun. Thanks Les.

I like a straight shooter and that's why I like you. TV, like news papers are dying off and other media options are taking their place. KZbin and other internet video platforms are gaining leaps and bounds. 10 years ago people thought we were weird for not having cable or satellite TV and now it's common with Hulu and Netflicks. You should keep the youtube platform going, if the animal lovers and gun grabbers don't ruin it, it could be a steady source of income.

Wow I was wondering where you went and why Pursuit was running nothing but reruns of your show. I smell ya' on that one bad enough one can taste the rottenness. I was a commercial construction contractor when the recession kicked in and ALOT of contractors were bidding on the FEW projects going up (CUTTTHROAT) we were assuming a lot of risk for no profit to keep the lights on and the people working. Kind of hard to explain but I would've been better off staying at home not spending money than trying to make a dog race out of it and wind up paying for a job for unappreciative workers believe me years of that will burn anyone out So I did like you and took a break was great liberating like when your kids go on there own. Well the economy and construction are way better and gonna get even better so I'm back in the game I did it good the first time but with time to marinate on it I know I can do it bigger and better this go around and if there is anyone that can do it too is you too so I know with all that 12 hrs a day in that nice heated w/ AC machinery your pushin' you gotta a lot of time to marinate on it and being the master predator hunter you are you will already be knowing how you will approach your next stand and and make that 1000yd kill shot. I wish the best for you. Hope to start seeing your hunting videos again next season thx for sharing your knowledge and love of the outdoors sincerely
