CuseHunter Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Question... For Onondaga county. Currently after deer season is over. Can I use a center fire rifle to coyote hunt? I think I can, my friend disagrees. The wording on the dec site is very wordy and isn't 100% clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bballhunter11 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Centerfires are legal in the field after deer season is over for coyotes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuseHunter Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks, that's what I thought. He just was not wanting to get caught using a rifle when it was illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodjr55 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Did you go out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuseHunter Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yep, I went out. First set, forgot my decoy at the car :/ but still set up the call. Was in a large hay field. Back to the west edge to woods. Call about 50 yards in front of us in the field. Used locator calls and howl/bark and serenade coyote calls. Had about 5 call back and got real close. Eventually had one run out jn the field. Couldn't see it in the dark, until It bolted to my right. I had a bush on my right side so couldn't spotlight/shoot it. Then about 10 minutes later hit the rabbit in distress calls. Had another yote come out into the field. We heard it bouncing. Couldn't see it though, it was right in front of us on the other side of the call from us. The field banked up to probably a 10 ft slope difference from where we were sitting so it blocked the view of the coyote. It sucks not being able to shoot one, but it was a blast. Great to be able to call a couple in. I'll try a day time hunt and see if it's easier because of the visibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
