The Texas Predator Hunting Podcast

In today’s 12 Minute Talk, Wade breaks down a frustrating issue many shooters run into once they start running suppressors on AR-15s, stuck rounds after hunting, especially in cold weather.
Is it bad ammo?
Is it neck tension?
Is it crimp?
Not exactly.
We cover what’s actually happening inside your chamber when you combine carbon buildup, back pressure from traditional baffled suppressors, extreme heat-to-cold transitions, and bullet creep in AR platforms.
More importantly, he explain how to safely deal with it and how to prevent it from happening in the first place.
Flow-through suppressors, proper maintenance, and cleaner ammo can make a big difference.

One of the most common questions in predator hunting:
“Am I ruining this property by calling it too much?”
In this 12 Minute Talk, Wade breaks down:
What “ruin” actually means

How pressure affects coyotes

Why educated coyotes make you better

When you should call hard — and when you shouldn’t

The difference between population control and contest hunting

The reality? You’re not killing everything you call in. And the more you hunt a piece of land, the more it forces you to refine your stand setup, wind discipline, and marksmanship.

Anthony M Team joins the podcast for a long, unfiltered conversation about how a kid from Panama ended up becoming one of the most recognized names in the thermal and night vision world.
We cover:
Growing up between Panama, Fort Bragg, and Houston

The early Aubrey, Texas days (before the subdivisions took over)

Peterbilt second shift chaos

The heavy drinking, ranch work, and learning to hunt from scratch

Sour corn, green lights, and pre-thermal pig hunting

The explosion of thermal technology

Working with Ultimate Night Vision and I-Ray USA

Quitting a 15-year career during COVID

The reality of social media in the hunting industry

Why most thermal shooters miss

Field of view, 384 vs 640 vs 1280, frame rate explained

And some stories that probably shouldn’t have made it on air

This one is raw, funny, and honest.
If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to turn a passion into a career in the hunting and thermal industry, this episode is it.

Today’s 12 Minute Talk:
1-10 LPVO or 2-10 with a red dot?
It depends.
Wade breaks down:
Close range vs longer range priorities

When an LPVO makes more sense

When a 2-10 shines

Offset vs rooftop red dots

First focal plane vs second focal plane

Reticle differences (BDC vs Christmas tree vs MIL)

Parallax… do you actually need it?

If you're building an SPR-style rifle, a predator rig, or a dual-purpose AR-15, this conversation will help you decide what fits your real-world use case.
The short answer?
If you're shooting more up close → LPVO.
If you're shooting more distance → 2-10.
Or… buy both.
