I must say I have towed a few guys in and yes I have been towed in, after a hour on the kicker gettin us closer to land. Sometimes your the windshield and sometimes your the bug either way it’s not fun=$$$. Cool post!!

Congrats there Dawsonscreek that’s pretty freaken cool!!! My buddy has a 222 rem. barrel for his. He went with us predator hunting and we left him shoot the greys and the reds when they came in.

Lost my prise beagle a few years ago for days, one day I got a phone call my beagle named Ozzie was on the couch eating candy with a nice little older lady, she said he was good company but I know he belongs with his owner. She asked if I ever want to retire him she would love to have first dibs for him. he smelled good!! and was groomed well. But he flew off the couch when he Me.

Awesome job, the few under my belt was using dead coyote and my 25/06 but more with the scatter gun in the woods!!

Hey guys I been having a problem!! I bought a night vision telescope, so that means one of my guns will be dedicated night rifle, I have a 22/250 w/bull barrel and its heavy as such, now we’re going to add this scope which isn’t light and a set of Harris bipods. I also own a 25/06 with a heavy barrel with a wooden laminated stock. (Ruger) so the same crap is going on this gun should I decide that this is my gun of choice. My 25/06 only likes hand loads I messed around for days till I got this gun to shoot. But this puppy drives tacks. I understand if you have 10 rounds your probably safe for the year, god I hope not the 22/250 I can buy shells for and it shoots good. But In Pa. around where we hunt it’s hard to pull a dog out of the shelter of the woods line. Most only time you will get a dog to commit to the open is during the mating season which is at least 2 months away. What keeps sticking in my head is Whalers success with a 204. I wonder if those dogs are out in the open? Maybe I should check into a composite stock for my Ruger and just be done with it?? What would you guys do. I’m really taking a liking to the Creedmoor 6mm. My buddy bought a 243 wsm and has a few dogs under his belt with that also. He has a 222.Rem but switched to the 243.wsm?

What a wonderful Christmas Gift!! Congrats to all the guys that helped push the girls into first place!!! I hope your daughters have a Merry Christmas as well as your family!!! Congrats to you also!

Well if that don’t frost a mans balls

Ha ha Chas, yea we save all our scraps also. Thing is it’s gone till we get back. so merry Christmas mr. coyote.

When I was 9-10 years old my dad showed me the ropes in the trapping world, most were leg holds till I made enough money to buy the conibear style introduced in 1959 the 110 came out, then the 220, but my 110’s produced great muskrat kills, I could only afford 4 they were $3.95-$4.50 depending where you go. I used to get up 4:am throw the single shot 22 over my shoulder hopped on my bicycle and down the dirt road I went I had like a 3-4 mile ride with my basket on my back, I usually had at least 1 in 1975 I was getting $3.50 a fur, then I peddled back home at breakfast got changed for school off I went to the bus stop. I got home and made my rounds and either moved my sets up or down the stream. In 1981-82 muskrats went up in price like crazy I was getting $7 for medium to small and the bigger rat I was getting up to but never exceeded $9 a piece which added up, so I bought more conibear traps and started asking permission to trap ponds in our neck of the woods, they all said absolutely get them out of there. Soon I was at 35-40 conibears, victor one coils, and for coons a double coils. I’m not up to par with the names of the leg holds, but I saved my money after I had bought what I thought was enough traps. I bought my first car on my own with my trapping funds. I bought my brothers college buddies car, a 1966 mustang hardtop, Black with black interior. 289 with a 4 speed. I was the most proud kid in our neighborhood I did a lot of hrs on my bicycle. The following Christmas I got a ten speed.!! Keep at Stone rhy w

My best time ever hunting yotes was from a deer stand I found, it was like a fortress up on 4 telephone poles, I left the caller in a tree about 4ft off the ground. When I got up in this stand I could see forever, I shot 3 dogs that night by myself, I could see along a ridge in one direction and a long ways the other, two dogs shot in one direction and one from the total different direction it was the best time ever for me, I haven’t got back since my accident, one of the neatest things I remember was the dog never knew where the shot came from I chambered another shell and the two dogs almost laid touching each other, I was hyped up at this point I had my best day ever so I spun around and I saw movement, no freaken way, so switched to pups in distress and this all black yote came barreling in at about 50 stopped and sat down yet, I was shaking so much I couldn’t hold the crosshairs on a bull elephant. I managed to wedge myself in the stand and took my jacket that I took off after shooting the other two and made a makeshift sandbag settled the crosshairs on the chest area and squeezed my 25/06 off and it worked. I had a hell of a time to find them. Once on the ground it was very different. That was my best ever night. That was at least 6-7 years ago. I hope with my new toys I can pull a few shots off this year. Best of luck to all!! Thanks for the tips on a decoy I have a foxpro caller that has a jack to operate a decoy, maybe I’ll buy a stand alone one also!!

I hope this thread continues like Legacies Deer hunting thread. This is a strange years so far with the weather, one day it’s 50* the next it’s in the mid 30’s, no snow that melted. I’m trying somthing new to me this year. My brother in law and I are going to try doing it with out a light this year, I had bought a monocular in the 2nd Gen night vision, and I bought a a night vision telescope from Todd on here LOU, it’s a gen1 phase 2. I was wondering which decoys do you guys use that have worked the best for you!! In the snow I use a rabbit decoy that actually moves across the snow, I forget the name, but it’s like built in a can with a screw on lid and a motor spins a offset piece and creates a vibration and it sits on a piece of foam that’s not flat so if you put it on a grade or slope it move down the grade. It’s programmed to stop and go for about 10min. But I’m looking for something more aggressive and higher. What’s your favorite decoy. Thanks pap.

Maybe that was the truck load of yotes we heard in the back. I can also say about the tattoo marks that were found on the t

Peace Dawsonscreek, just you started out by saying false accusations herd by hear say, that’s about the most polite way of saying what I said is pure BullShyt!! I’m not a fighter either, there’s many different situations for why things happen. I’m also happy to hear you furthered your education in this field, as we all know we need more guys like you. Again peace man!! PAP.

Thank you!! Fellas, and there’s always the inside dirt that nobody wants to hear, or believe, but it’s there and sooner or later it will show it’s self. Kinda like NY state passed a law that you cannot kill or attempt to kill and bipedal walking critter!! But there’s no such thing as a Big Foot?? We made that law so that some nut running around in a monkey suit doesn’t get shot

Fish nut what calls are you using, the screaming bunny they all heard, there’s a few coyote hunts around here a year and of course their all out there hollering around and educating the yotes. A few young of the year get shot off and of course usually a few heavier dogs get killed. Everyone likes a fight, so I started using chicken fight, pheasants in distress and birds. We noticed tracks and saw flashes of something when crow hunting. Playing the death cry of a crow brings in a lot of different predators, but we only ever used that in the day. Raspy sounding turkey usually makes for curiosity kills the dog now that we have remotes for our callers a lot of guys stick the caller 75-100 yards away, and the might seem like a good idea, but if you get one to hold up usually around 100 yards to the sound now your dog is almost twice the distance and a good chance at night you won’t see him. I like to set 30-50 yards off to the side, I also call with the wind less volume carries further and face yourself into the wind. Won’t be long we can start with female invitation, howl, 2 dogs fighting right after the female invitation. Just switch up see if it improves. Just a suggestion, it’s worked for me, OOH two kittens, worked for us, if your hunt around farms, a lot of farm animal in distress will work!! Best of luck to ya. I just got a night vision scope getting it fitted to my heavy barrel 25/06, I’m not a pelt hunter. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! PAP.

I wouldn’t be so quick shoot me in azz!! When some in our family wear the green suits, you believe what you want and I’ll believe what I know. Bull shyt walks and money talks, you probably don’t believe that the auto insurance comp. didn’t back the game com. In importing coyotes either, look what the boys in green are driving, all new vehicles, but yet 5 years ago they couldn’t afford to put a officer in a new uniform which they all have new uniforms. Developments are loosing kitty cat, and little fluffy puppy dogs right of the leash. They hired sharp shooters to clean out the deer in developments, but you can’t shoot my poor deers, so they put the next best thing in there. I don’t know or care where you live but the forest around here you can shoot 75+ yards. It getting out of hand here with the hunters vs. the animal righteous people, why do they have 6weeks of archery hunting, “ out of sight out of mind” and the Flintlock season if your crazy enough you can hunt in total camo. Ask any farmer around here which critter is the most destructive, and if you listen they will tell you a turkey. You’d probably call me a bull shyter if I told you the farmer right behind my house counted 90 turkeys were in the field after they bailed the cornstalks for cattle bedding, now on the rt 209 which is about 2 miles the way the crow flys there was another 30-40 of them. So I used to meet a truck vender in Mt Pocono at 5:30am we meet in the back parking lot where I’d unload my products starter & alternators and he’d pay me, in a box van towards the back where my brother and I herd all these yips and crying dogs, so we went towards the van it became very evident what was in that van license plates from Idaho. Asked the driver what the hell do you have in that truck, can’t say he replied. Hmm. My brother was a very well known contractor, and in a very exclusive golf coarse with lots right on fairways, we had permission to hunt deer but down towards the swamp and sewer plant, we always killed nice buck and does, that same season there were dog tracks over every square inch of that property which we hunted for years, yes we ran across track years ago, but a set here a set there, and everything was gone other than the hide a jagged bones. I also forgot that some of the younger generations know everything and us who were hunting and in the woods while you were still shyting green, spouting false accusations all around just to start rumors. Thanks Dawson for your info, and us dumb azz older guys will just keep to ourselves from now on!!!
