The Pennsylvania Predator Hunters Association (PPHA) is proud to announce the first ever Predator Hunting/Calling Expo & Calling Competition within the commonwealth of its kind. This expo will feature 7 seminars throughout the day on all aspects of hunting and calling predators such as coyotes, red fox, gray fox and raccoons. Seminars will feature speakers of extensive knowledge on the in’s and out’s of successful hunting & calling techniques. Local WCO Jeff Mock of the Pennsylvania Game Commission will be giving a lecture concerning game regulations of furbearers. Furbearer Biologist of the PGC, Matt Levalo will be giving a lecture on each species biology and behaviors.
At the end of the day’s seminars we will be hosting the first ever Pennsylvania State Predator Calling Championship. Competitors will be judged on a list of multiple sounds of varying difficulty. The competition will be a “blind competition” whereas a panel of 5 judges and audience are unable to see each competitor. Grand Prizewinner will be named the PA State Predator Calling Champion and receive a free* trip with FoxPro to the World Predator & Hunting Expo in Overland Park Kansas to compete for the world title. Runner up will receive a trophy and a $100.00 gift card to Cabelas, 3rd place will receive a trophy and a $50.00 gift card to Cabelas. *Trip includes airfare, hotel & entrance fees. Meals & Drinks excluded.
This is the predator-hunting event in Pennsylvania and you are sure not to miss it!! Whether you’re a seasoned fur hunter or just starting, everyone is guaranteed to go home with some great new hunting and calling techniques. The calling competition is sure to draw some very experienced callers so the competition will be exciting! Only local speakers will be giving hunting seminars applicable to our part of the country!! Raffle drawings on quality calls and equipment will be offered as well as 50/50 chances and door prizes. Food & beverages will be available for sale. Menu includes pulled pork bbq sandwiches, meatball subs and hotdogs. We also have some great predator hunting related vendors already lining up for space, we will have 30 booths available for rent….if interested be sure to get your application in quickly! We will only accept vendors with products relevant to the hunting sports.
The Pennsylvania Predator Hunters Association is the only organization to this date that has continually gone to bat for your beneficial predator hunting regulations. We have a very good working relationship with the Pennsylvania Game Commission to get game laws and regulations created, changed or dismissed. We are a non-profit association that has gone to the PGC Headquarters and to the Harrisburg Legislature on many, many occasions. How else do you account for the allowance of #4 buckshot, no florescent orange outside of big game seasons, legalized decoy use, and legalized gun-mounted lights? (Just to name a few). That’s right, the PPHA got these and many other regulations changed, created or withdrawn. These endeavors take time and dedication to achieve. We ask for your attendance on July 12th, 2008 to show your support for the PPHA, the only predator hunting organization that has supported you, the predator hunter.
