Just want to say GOOD LUCK to all that are registered to hunt. My you call in many 50+ lb-ers. REMEMBER SHOOT STRAIGHT.

I made 4 stands from 12-4:30 AM. 2 of the 4 stands coyotes howled in the distance. On one of the stands the shooter heard cracking branches and snow crushing in line with ICOtec with decoy. It flanked the sound from it's right side. So typical of Pa coyotes. Flanking the sound from side. As I type this i'm reflecting back on what might have caused the coyote to not step out in a mountain clearing. I think he stood in the opening of the field and should have posted along the edge where trees started to break up his outline.. It was twilight and i now think what ever it was saw him. Sure a lot of Bared Owl and Great Horned Owls out this morning.

One other comment. The animal that did the sound came to the sound by coming down the plowed road and entered a patch of woods. It didn't come across the crusted snow. Again it used the least resistance. We were hunting public land in deep deep forest with road running through it.

went up to my club with my partner yesterday afternoon..scouted a bit, came up with a game plan and hoped like hell the wind would die down..it didn't..we did a stand at dusk in area we have had success at and also found fresher sign in.. that sign fell in line with where other club guys said they had been seeing dogs at...long story short, we struck out. Wind got so bad we cut our loses and hung at the clubhouse the rest of the night..got up at 5:45 am this morning, there was a drop in the wind, we made a great stand but no takers and wind again increased to the point of it being counter productive..Now, I'm back home thinking about the 2 stands we made in 24 hrs! Staying local tonight, back up to club tomorrow for last ditch attempt...wind permitting. Good luck everyone..

Called in fox 2nd night no coyotes.

My friend and I walked one down and shot it. We jumped it three times before we got a good shot, and it only took 8 hours of walking. Too bad it was only 35 pounds.
-
Nice job Nick!
-
Did you take it up and enter it?
-
:) Congratulations! :) If nothing else there should be a prize for perseverance ::) .......No picture?... 8) I almost forgot, double good job for this: "We jumped it three times before we got a good shot".
-
We did take it up. It was number 109 entered. A guy brought one in that was still breathing and he didn't even know it.
-

Check out the pennlive pic of the girl with her coyote she got with her crossbow..my eye was immediately drawn to the night vision scope she had mounted on it..hmmmm?
-
Good job nortpete you will be getting some money just for weighting one in.
-
I feel the dispatch methods we use do not need to be on an open forum type due to the bad light it can shine upon our sport. This has been reported so I will be removing said comments. I hope you all understand but it's not how I want our association to be seen, as the predator hunters who speak of the savage manner in which we sometimes must take care of things.
-
Good idea. Thanks !!
-
Congratulations nortpete.
You said you jumped it three times.
Did you two put on a drive for the Coyote?
-
wow some young lady shot a coyote over bait with a crossbow with a night sight on it...Now the Pa site has all kinds of pro and con traffic on it.. Could be the young girl was just handed the weapon and said here use this !!!
Mosquito Creek club needs to post all the after the hunt county statistics. There is valuable info where they were harvested etc. Now the methods of killing might not even be true at all..
