Major Boddicker
Major L. Boddicker grew up on a farm
in Benton county, Iowa, and bought a
Model Perfect Predator Call from
Herter's in 1954 and has been hooked on
varmint calling since. Major has a
bachelor's degree in biology from St.
John's University, Collegeville, MN
(1964), a masters degree in zoology and
a Ph.D. degree in entomology from
South Dakota State University,
Brookings, SD. He has been a
Smokejumper for the US Forest Service,
college instructor of zoology and human
anatomy, environmental education
specialist, 4-H outdoor education
specialist, and wildlife damage control
and furbearer management specialist
during the 12 years he worked for the
government. Then he had a middle-age
epiphany and started Rocky Mountain
Wildlife Enterprises in 1985. Varmint
hunting, trapping, and researching
wildlife has been his life's work.
Crit'R•Calls are the products of that
research and experience. Since 1985,
Major has traveled the world teaching
hunters and stockmen how to call and
trap predators. He has experience in
using Crit'R•Calls to call elephants,
hippo, crocodiles, hyenas, lions,
leopards, rhino, cape buffalo, African
lynx, black-backed and side-striped
jackals, baboons, and many other
15
African species. He has called jaguar,
cougar, ocelot and peccary while
working in Peru. He has a lot of early
hand calling concepts and techniques
that are now proven success.
- Open reed calls making multiple prey
sounds.
- Using multiple sounds at stands to
construct an illusion for the predator:
coyote sounds-prey sounds-coyote
distress.
- Planning and calling for multiple kills.
- Continuing calling after a kill or shot
using coyote distress and prey distress
sounds.
- Forget the mistakes, keep calling.
- Using multiple sense attractors: eye,
nose and ear.
- Using the call to manipulate the predator
prior to the shot.
The original Crit'R·Call predator call
was created in 1976. It was invented to
put more authentic animal sounds into
hunters' hands. We designed out the
flaws of other calls, making the
Crit'R·Calls freeze-proof, extremely
durable, and guaranteed not to fail on the
job. The tough plastic material chosen
for the Crit'R·Call was selected for the
crisp sound quality it produces, making
animal sounds as good as the animals
make them. Known best for predator
calling applications, the Crit'R·Calls
have a 26-year history of successful
deer, elk, moose, bear, and lion hunting
applications, mostly under other labels.
The four basic Crit'R·Call designs are
very reliable and successful for whatever
game to which they are adapted. Each
call comes with two or more reeds, two
or more reed blocks, two heavy rubber
reed bands, plus instructions on how to
use the call. The instructions are the
most thorough in the business. For more
detailed information on Crit'R Calls and
products please go to

Good luck.
