Mosquito Creek Hunt
« on: February 14, 2014, 11:53:32 AM »
How many on this forum are registered in this hunt or have hunted it in the past if so did you weigh any in? Thought about registering but decided I need to be better at calling and killing them.

I hunted that hunt for years,it is tough competing against the hounds men,I have seen them come in with a pile of coyotes,I haven't entered it for a couple years now,but it's still fun to get out.

This will be my fourth year in the hunt I've yet to weigh one in for this hunt. Changing tactics up this year tho. Gonna hunt from one side of Penna to the other at every spot I've seen or shot a yote. Hunting straight through with naps when needed. We shall see how it goes.

So-soshot  grab a weapon and enjoy the outdoors. The other year I was 1 pound away from the big money, not by
skill, just because I went.

Absolutely enjoy just bein out in the woods putting fur down is a bonus! Every time I'm out I learn somethin new and add to my skill base. Nothin at all like that thrill of a predator runnin in to the call.....well there are a few close seconds but they're for a different forum lol

I to enjoy being out, be it hunting or just walking sun rise or set always better than wok or home chores. Be interesting to see how the hound hunters do this year I think most all of the state has 2FT or more snow on ground making hard going. I have one other question for any to answer it says all yots must be killed in PA. how do they know for sure?

Officials do not know. How could they know if it's a West Virginia, Ohio or New York Coyote.
That questions comes up every year.
It's up to the participants to abide by the rules.

They have wildlife biologists there and have the ability to dna test the winners. Also the polygraph will show deception to the degreeit ddisqualifies winners. Just fyi and my opinion.

From my experience they have never used either,Hern is right,whenever there is large amounts of money,there is no tellin were they got them from,I do know there is a fenced in place in NY it is full of coyote,you pay to train your dog,but for 100.00 each he will let you shoot all ya want..

I didn't know that. Thanks for the update, and that seems fair.

How do the biologists know the DNA of each state? That interests me...

P100x & Hern,  The threat is there and the same weasels that would cheat here are those that would cheat in Bass contest or card games.  I think that this is my 15th year in  MC, haven't done anything but I will put on about 400 Mi. trying.  Dick

DNA is not the end all be all for tests. PSU has a database as to our coyote pool here and other regions. Also they cqn take soil samples from th dirt on their feet which is a fairly easy means because soils are totally different content state to state region to region. Papa1 you're correct cheaters exist in every sport and will get caught eventually. I just hope to register my limit this year lol.
