My name is Tony Tebbe and I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with my wife, three daughters, and son. I'll be the first to tell you that I am 100 percent addicted to calling predators. I used to hunt all types of game animals like, deer, turkey, pheasant, quail, rabbits, squirrels, duck, goose, elk, etc. I've got the Predator Addiction and now I live, sleep, and breathe calling predators, mostly coyotes.

Here is where it all began...

In my twenties, I started running coyotes with dogs. I had 22 coyote dogs at one time. I raised foxhounds, greyhounds, and greyhound crosses. I was known for my catch dogs and was very productive. Many weekends were spent catching coyotes across Central Illinois.

Though it was a fun and exciting time, calling predators was my true love. In 1991, I went on a 10 day self-hunt for elk in Colorado. I arrived 2 days prior to opening day. As usual, I had a predator rifle and some hand calls with me. I spent 2 days of calling and bagged 13 coyotes. I shot a nice 5x5 bull on opening day.

Though I was totally excited about bagging my first elk, the following day found me backed up to a nice sagebrush calling coyotes again. It was at that moment that it dawned on me that I was 100 percent hooked on calling. When I returned home, the dogs were sold and my focus on calling coyotes has been 100percent since then.

Each fall and winter, you can find me on calling stands in 8 to 10 states. This gives me an opportunity to tweak and adjust my scouting, calling tactics, and stand selection in a wide variety of terrain. On average, my calling partners and I harvest 90-100 coyotes per season.

Besides pursuing predators, I own and operate Tebbe Outdoor Productions, supplying TT Custom Predator Calls, Tony Tebbe Game Calls, as well as, the Predator Addiction and Predator University videos.

I spend quite a bit of time on Predator Masters, as it is the Number 1 site for predator information, as well as, a great place to meet and make friends. I've had the opportunity to meet many of the Predator Masters members, face to face and spend time on calling stands with them. I find Predator Masters as that 'home away from home' of great people that have the same interests.

You'll find me roam across all the forums on Predator Masters, however I moderate the Custom Call Maker, Hand Calls, and Calling in the East forums. Make sure you stop by and say Hi.

Great hunting,

Tony Tebbe
