There might be a way to fix that if there is enought interest!
If interested in spending a day trying to learn how speak up now! If enough interest this could happen.
This has to happen before the mesquoto creek hunt.
Just maybe we can put some members on the board this year!
-
How do we make this happen?
-
First before I move forward in this short notice to ppha members. I need know if there is enought PPHA (members) that are interested and willing do give up a day and maybe some of an evening to learn how too kill coyotes. Then we can see what might be needed. This could all fall apart, but first we have to make! sure there is enough interest.
-
You've got me interested! :D
-
What do you have in mind?
-
Yea what r u thinking. With cat season closing in it might be tough for me but I am interested
-
I'm in
-
Foxtrot
I would be a school. If enought interest i have some very good coyote calling teachers that are interested in also help me with this event. But if not enough interest nobody's interested in teaching one or two guys.
-
I would come if I can wear my light ;) you can never have to much info............. 8)
-
Am interested in learning.
This has to happen before the mesquoto creek hunt.
Why?
Buckwheat I know you are always on the up and up and dedicated to this sport.
But throw us a little more info :)

Why get ride of your questions.
They were all good stuff.
I was going to stop you from getting down wind.
I will type to some of your questions later anyways.
-
I would be game on sitting in on such a class but cant go out hunting at this point.
-
I'm in 100% always willing to learn.

The best way to keep you from getting down wind is to trip you up before you get there.
I wish you would have left your questions up. You asking questions not only helps me write a reply. It helps you look a little crafty.
But I know there is always a little male eago in what ever people want to do. Part of the human nature. If some one says they have no ego i will show you a eaghead and a none successful person.
Some of why I am going to teach is to get rid of a lot of stuff people think is correct. They can take it or leave it. But I will have stated and shown information to PPHA members the information they need to have for a better chance at killing coyotes.
At the same time they will become a better all around hunter.
This information can take a long time for some to get, some my never. Others will only have to add it to what they already no and has worked for them.
I too may learn stuff to help up my odds also. Never go closed minded and you will never stop learning.
Some peoole will think I am even closed minded to there ideas. I may seam that way on some stuff but there is usually a reason I seam that way from past experience.
What is going to make this worth wile is i would like to show real in the field stuff if possible.
So bring all your methods and tools you hunt with and clothing. No guns will be needed. We will use sticks, you can bring your own stick if you will feel better.
Also if we can I would like to have Brian Downs and Andrew Lewand if possible. But member turn out and meeting these two expert hunting people time restraints may cause it to falter some.
But something is better then nothing.
As far as why this is short notice is my ability not to hunt this year.
I was thinking what could I do and I thought I know!!! I can help PPHA get back to leading and get on the map and just maybe put some members on the board at the Mosquito Creak Hunt.
All worth wile I thought.
By the way getting down wind is no big problem to solve if you trip them up before they get there.
-
Sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the info.
-
Buckwheat asks-
Why get rid of your questions.
Because I ask too many questions... ;D
I copy and pasted three replies into one reply and delete some questions.
Great idea. And hope you can pull this together.
-
I'm interested. Depending on time and location.
-
You going to open it up to nonmembers at an additional price?
If you have the event just off a Major highway more will attend. like the Pennsylvania Turnpike or interstate 81. Harrisburg Hunters and Anglers would jump at the chance! Bose

Remembers where we first met Ernie. PPHA meeting at the Farmers Wife in Ono, Pa. No cost to use the back room if members order off menu. Eat a piece of pie and drink coffee and listen to How Too Seminar !!!!

This is only for members of PPHA
People can join when they show up if they want. But this is truly to make PPHA members better predator hunters.
The rest of the hunters will just have to wait and get there information secondhand as they always have. You know wisper down the line untill they have it botched up real good.
This location is not picked yet. But probably close to my house so I can show in the field set ups. This is going to be a long day and some evening stands for real on hand experience that want it.
-
Ok I am going to need to start a real list of people that are going to show up for this school.
Please list your (first) name on this Ppha site on a link called Attending School on Predators.
Also you will need to send me an email at ewcalls@gmail.com
If you are (not) currently a PPHA you will have to fix that or Pay at the event. But you must let me know what way you are going to be a member. No Gests, members only!! Or you will be asked to leave.
-
This is just what the club needs... Good luck on this...I hope many take you up on it and it does well..
-
Can you give us a tentative date/time,cost,anything we need to know? Not holding you to anything, just don't want to sign up and then find it conflicts with some other event...and I end up being a no show...defeats the purpose...I can pencil it on our calendar, here at home, before Momma puts up something I wish to avoid....

School
Date Feb 14/2015
Conestoga Pa
11:00 am until 7:00 pm
Hope to meet for at Conestoga wagon Resterant for greet and meet session. Would like to leave there at around 12 noon to safe harbor park for start of class and questions. Review ever body's methods and equipment and how to possibly help inprove set ups methods.This will be for daytime and night time coyote set ups.
We will start there and end up on night hunting stands to finish off with.
So you see there will be a lot to do and learn before we head to night stands. Maybe not enought time to cover everything but you will have learned something that you never did before.
Instructors will be Ernie Wilson.
Possible instructor's if enough interest and can free up there time Brian Downs, Andrew Lewand.
We are covering Coyotes tactics.
End result we are looking for is?
PPHA MEMBERS to not follow the crowd. But to be the leader in coyote hunting skills. In turn you will be a better all around predator hunter on all critters.
-
I would like to come but Feb 14 is Valentines day :'(. I'm sure the wife wouldn't like that after putting up with me hunting hard through bobcat.
Good luck with the class sounds like it will be very informative and worth the trip. Hope you get a good turnout.

School Date change FEB 7 2015
Thanks BigCat for reminder.
Everybody please recheck your date for new Feb. 7/2015
School date.
-
Cresson hunt is that weekend.just saying.Feb.6,7,8
-
Bad date time I know. How many coyotes did we put on the board last year?
At least you will have a good time here and learn.
-
Its hard to please everyone I know.Maybe I'll do both.
-
You will be tired, but maybe you need to make less stands
-
North East hunt is the same weekend
-
Yep the hunt is then. So how many coyotes does PPHA members put on that board every year?
-
What percentage of PPHA members hunt Cresson?
North East hunt?
Mosquito Creek hunt?
Any Coyote Contest?
Am saying, if PPHA has 100 members and 3-5 members enter a contest, that's a low percentage. I also think some members may team up with non-members to hunt thesehere Contests.
Having said that, I feel a low percentage of PPHA Members hunt State wide Contests, so the odds of members placing is low. I think it great Buckwheat can turn it around.
If Buckwheat's Coyote School is geared towards placing in Contests (in which he mentioned and stated he wanted members to win, place or show and wanted to have school before Mosquito Creek hunt) then a low percentage of member will be interested in attending or able to attend.
I don't give a hoot about Contests, but am interested in what Buckwheat has to offer Feb. 7th.

Ernie, now don't go trying to confuse the situation by stating the facts. This one demo could change an individuals whole predator hunting experience but they are reluctant. I am 66 I don't know anything and anything I thought I knew,I now know only half. I will attend with a lot of experience, in the shape of dough, because Ernie will say something and I will think "Never thought of that". I already know.... I will leave with some useful info,because Ernie is Predator hunting 24/7 and PPHA 24/7. This guy was not put off showing me how to howl like a coyote on a Renovo street on a Sunday in the early morning hours....Further he has the Brass to suggest this meeting on Valentine's Day (now changed to the 7th) now that my friends takes some lead...LOL..Most of you don't know me but trust me this will be a 1st class you don't want to miss event and will get you in the win column sooner than sittting in the briars wishing....JMO.... 8) ps . sorry Ernie couldn't resist a rant in your favor...as i was posting Hern was beating me to the punch..HAHAHAHA how scary is that....

I'm really considering going its gonna be a long drive just wondering if people would be interested in a car pool maybe split gas. I could drive and if the wife lets me take her vehicle I could fit 4 more maybe 5 comfortably.
Would go 80 near brookville then 99/322 through state college. Not 100% sure yet just checking interest on a car pool. Let me know if anyone is interested. I will know by Sunday if I can go.
-
Im in!!! When and where?
-
Wow, sounds like a bargain !!!
I drove to Foxboro to hear Brian Downes……The Red Wagon is a heck of a lot closer !!
Thank you for this !!
