Buy a 12 pack of beer. It's a boring ride up to the top. Oh and the signs that have the blacks diamonds are the easy one...????

Awesome!

I'd stick with judo tips if you miss the springs on a judo tip keep them from going to deep in the ground

made scrimp scampi as an app this year

Nice! That from today?

I could tell that is was a smaller critter not that I won't shoot a fox I would only if I called it in

Mostly because we were targeting a big boy

It's a start I agree but the judge also rules that the safe act doesn't infringe on the second amendment which doesn't help the cause

Decide to start a journal because I plan on hunting a lot of predators this winter and didn't want a new thread every time. I've been out twice now on solely predator hunts the first one I made a thread for My second hunt I went out with my buddy who seen 4 coyotes multiple times during deer season. He has seen a couple black ones and a big white dog. We went out on Sunday morning. It was a farm close by I'm erie county. Got there at 6 am got ready and headed out to the back field. We had to cross the field behind the house and then thru a small patch of woods and we were in the field where he was seeing the dogs. On the way out we were scanning the fields and saw eyes off to the left at about 120 yards. I knew it was a dog of some sorts but couldn't make out if it was a fox or coyote. ( I need a better light) since I couldn't tell what it was we decided to move on to the other field. We got set up my buddy had his muzzleloader I had my .243 he was in his stand I was behind him on the ground. Has a decoy set up in the middle of the field and my flextone caller behind it ( had to move the caller closer because the remote wouldn't reach) sat for about a half hour till we had better light. Called for about an hour on and off but had no success. I know that your only suppose to make short sits but the property was small so we just stayed put. So far this season I have been out twice and seen a predator both times but haven't got a shot yet. So good start so far

How was the deer population this year. Or turkey population

Just curious you have a 308 why buy a 300 win mag? There both large caliber rounds that are capable of doing what you want. It's your money but I'm just curious why get such a similar bullet.

Look at a savage 111 also. If you spend less then 1000 you could always buy a new shot gun or something

I'm looking for a decent light for some night hunting. I have a small spot light that I got from Walmart that isn't too bad but just can't reach out far enough. It can pick up eyes at about 100 yards but hard to tell what the critter is. I know there are great lights out there but I can't really be spending 100+ dollars on a light right now

This year during bow I had to walk down to the far end of the property after dark to pick up my buddy be as he didn't have a flash light. I get to a fallen tree that's in the middle of the path and as I start to cross over it a coyote howls about 15 yards away in the direction I was heading. Scared the crap out of me. Told my buddy good luck he's on his own

It sucks in case anyone was concerned

Just walked in after my first hunt of the season for yotes/ fox. My buddy and myself head up to his uncle farm and dads property. We got busted on are second sit. Wasn't quiet bright enough out for the size of the fields we were hunting and just caught eyes a little to late to get a shot off. We ended up doing 4 sit. Didn't hear any yotes at all but was a good time

Went on my first rabbit hunt on Christmas Day. Arrived late to the spot and looked like some one already ran a dog or dogs thru it. We ended up getting a rabbit but had to cut the hunt early as I fell through some ice into a puddle up to my thighs

Well I have a bunch of hand calls and I bought a cow horn howler of a local guy and I'm pretty good at that

Anyone have a speak easy electronic predator call? Got one for Xmas and just wonder how good is it

is that a .17?

My brother and buddy found a dead 8 point at a farm they were crow hunting took the antlers would have been a good deer next year. The didn't see a bullet hole on it but also didn't roll it

If I saw him when he was 2.5 with the double drop tines I would have shot him without a doubt. Cool pics to see him get bigger

Never heard you can't use a .22 for small game anywhere. Just use turkey load for a coyote

I hunt them at at dairy farm have a few guys surround a silo then my brother will shoot a low powered BB gun to spook them and then we open up on them. Once they disperse we wait for a good group to come back and repeat. It's a lot of fun. They are tasty in a stew. Best to do this on the coldest days
