On fully guided hunts, a guide will transport you to a location on a farm, and begin to use calls to lure in the animal. 94% of all predators come to a call within the first 9 minutes of calling. The guide will call for 2 minutes and then stop calling for two minutes. This process will be repeated for around 20 minutes. If no predator comes in the guide and hunter will move to a different location and begin the process anew. As you might suspect some walking is involved, however the action is nonstop. It is thrilling to witness a bobcat stalking in slowly through the grass unto a call, or watching an alpha male coyote speed out across a field in route to the caller and hunter. Although very uncommon we have called in a mountain lion a time or two, however the harvest of mountain lions is illegal, therefore we have never harvested one.

On semi guided hunts, a guide will show the hunter or hunters a group of farms which they will be allowed to utilize. Aerials will be provided, and then hunters will pursue game on their own and do their own calling of predators. This hunt is slightly cheaper, than the fully guided hunt but still effective if one has experience.

According to Pro Staff at Hunter Specialties, if a hunter sets up 10 different times for calling, on an average, 1 of those 10 setups a predator will show up for a quick meal. IMB averages around a 30% call in ratio. Simply put: 3 out of 10 setups a predator will usually come to a call in Northern Missouri on IMB properties. 

IMB staff can also set you up for a hound chase of coyote for an additional charge of $250 per day, which is a fee paid to the dog handler.
