The Texas Predator Hunting Podcast

In this episode, Wade breaks down one of the most confusing topics in long range shooting, ballistic drag models.
What is BC?
Why does it matter?
And which one should you actually be using?
We cover:
What ballistic coefficient (BC) really means
Why higher BC isn’t always the full story
G1 vs G7 (and why G1 needs to go)
When G7 is more than enough for hunting
What CDMs and PDMs are, and when they actually matter
This is part of Wade’s long range “library” series, built to give hunters practical, usable knowledge without getting lost in the weeds.
If you’ve ever been confused about what to plug into your ballistic app… this is the one.

In this archived 12 Minute Talk, Wade breaks down the single most important factor in becoming a better predator hunter.
It’s not gear.
It’s not a new call.
It’s not a thermal upgrade.
It’s time.
Time in the field.
Time at the range.
Time scouting land.
Time watching coyotes.
Time learning the animal.
Wade dives into why more reps, more observation, and more understanding of coyote behavior will outpace any equipment upgrade, and why too many hunters overlook the fundamentals.
If you’re serious about leveling up your predator hunting, this one’s a must-listen.

In this archived episode, Clay Reid joins us for a no-filter conversation on contest hunting, shotgun setups, thermals, and what it really takes to stack coyotes year after year.
We get into:
Shotgun-only contests out West

Tungsten vs lead (and why it matters)

ARs vs shotguns in thick country

Thermal changing the predator game

Time management in contests

Social media drama and industry egos

If you’re serious about predator hunting, this one’s loaded.

In this archived 12 Minute Talk, we break down my personal night vision setup for predator hunting when I’m not running visible lights.
This is the exact configuration I rely on for nighttime calling, built around an 18” 22 Creedmoor in a KRG chassis, and why I prefer scanning with thermal but shooting through night vision.
We cover:
Why I choose 22 Creedmoor for a night rig

Clip-on night vision vs. dedicated thermal optics

White phosphor advantages

Laser rangefinder placement and real-world use

Illuminators and when they matter

Why flat-shooting calibers are critical at night

Practical field workflow for ranging and holds

This is a deep dive into the gear, reasoning, and lessons learned from running this system extensively in the field.

In this archived episode, Wade breaks down why he used to be a major shotgun guy for predator hunting, and why he eventually replaced it with a compact suppressed AR setup.
We cover the real pros of shotguns (especially in fox country and shotgun-only land), the cost of stretching shotgun range with tungsten, and why modern AR platforms with today’s optics (LPVOs, red dots + magnifiers) have become a better “do-it-all” option for close-quarters calling.
He also talks through practical setups: barrel length, suppressor considerations, optic choices, and why cartridges like 6 ARC can be a game-changer in a compact AR package.
