If there's a price difference, it might be a result from the price reduction recently to licenses. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

I can't speak for others, but I've never advocated eradication. But I'm being attacked as if I was, and it's a bit confusing. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

I don't discriminate on who I meet on the field, I wish it was the case sometimes, but it doesn't happen that way. My statement still stands, I've yet to meet a hunter on the field that wouldn't shoot a coyote. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

He was pretty screwed last year when sanitation went on "strike" during the snow. I'm guessing he didn't want a repeat. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

I think the Nosler Varmageddon is an excellent bullet to start testing with for fox and yotes. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

My barrel is 20", and theirs is a Model 12, BVSS, a 26" varmint barrel. No signs of pressure even though I exceeded listed maximum charge. I haven't made a decision on which loads to group, but I have a general idea. Looking for pointers before I load up the next batch.

You really don't want terminal ballistics to not have an exit, especially on game you want to recover. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Give him a couple weeks, he'll be back to his old self bashing on an implement he doesn't agree with. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Like everything else, coyotes have a carrying capacity, mainly based on food source. The more small game that's around, the more it can support a healthy coyote population. And as we know, coyotes hunt in packs, and are exponentially more effective that way, making a large population even more dangerous. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but when I go out on a hunt for editable game, I'd like to return home with something I can put on the pan and enjoy the fruits of my labor. If it means controlling and thinning out a large population of a certain predator during the off-season, so be it. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

You have it backwards, BB guns are airguns, but airguns are not BB guns. Your logic is at the same level as your education it seems, Kindergarten grade spelling mistakes. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

For once, you're right about something. Luckily for us, it's the only thing you've been right about. Big bore Airguns are meant for big game, which doesn't use BB's at all. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

What about folks who hunt chipmunks, woodchucks, sparrow, and other species that's allowed year round? Do they not have young to feed and raise? Yet, they are allowed to be hunted year round, and for just reason. Not everything we hunt is to preserve human life, but to protect property and other life as well.

Getting it rescinded for 2017 would likely mean phase 3, keep that in mind. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Was able to get out to the range and shoot off a few rounds. Here's the results at 100 yards. Temp was in the 20's, and winds around 18mph. Next step in development will be to shoot groups of 3 in multiple charges, but haven't decided what charge weight to load up yet. Feedback is welcome.

Jeff, not looking to derail this thread, so I'll send you a PM, or we can start a new thread. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

If the stream doesn't satisfy your needs, give me a shout, I'll ship you one of mine to try, no risk. If you don't like it, I'll pay to ship it back as well. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

In the right places, yes. Anyone have one of those, have-a-heart traps? X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

In the grand scheme of things, some of you folks are complaining about $25 per coyote, but NYS spends $1000 per deer shot by a sniper. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

If big bore airguns pass this year, we might be able to avoid Phase 3, maybe. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Phase 3, here we come. (After having to correct iOS autocorrect many times from Phase to Phade, I now find myself correcting it back to Phade to Phase). X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Please don't take my suggestion and twist them around, I understand your frustration on this subject, but to misdirect your anger towards me, is probably unjustified. Marksmanship - clay pigeons fly, coyotes don't, not from the studies that I've read. You may have read a different study than I have. With the possible introduction of coyote hunting all year, I would imagine that SOME hunters would hit the range more often, sight in their varmint/small game rifles/shotguns/bows and prepare themselves for hunting coyotes, just like any other game that would be deserving of a clean, ethical kill. Not like the way you make it out to be, shooting clay pigeons. Divisions amongst hunters - I've yet to meet a hunter on the field that didn't want to shoot a coyote, anytime, anywhere it's legal. It's no secret that many hunters in NYS prioritize deer over most other game, including coyote. That's why you see many more coyote harvests in NYS after deer season has ended. If coyote season was opened to year round, I don't see this division of hunters you speak of, I could only see more engaged hunters, higher hunter retention in NYS, and additional hunter recruitment from young hunters. These are all positive things IMO. Strong resistance from antis - well, what can I say, antis will be antis. They resist hunting of deer too, are we going to stop that as well? Deteriorating support for hunting among non-hunters - so you are saying that non-hunters support hunters more if we don't hunt coyotes? Playing into the fear that non-hunters will support hunters less is the same as letting the antis dictate what we should, or shouldn't do to continue the hunting tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. If a non-hunter feels that by opening the coyote season to a year-long season offends him, but recruits 2 new hunters because it's easier to introduce a young hunter in the warmer weather vs cold, or keeps a hunter engaged by having to look forward to a year-long hunting season, I think that's a win. Respect for the animal - I don't think the animal feels more or less disrespected if it's killed during the winter, spring, fall, or summer.
