I pull 63 lbs. I use the rage chisel tip only. They have a hardened tip. I hit my buck last year fairly similar but was able to penetrate the shoulder just enough to hit vitals. Lucky I’d say but the chisel tip rage are the only rage I’d consider. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

It’s been a slow start to the season. About 10 o’clock this morning I had three coyotes come in together. I took out the first one but couldn’t get a shot on the other two. Never recovered the Coyote but the shot was a full bloody pass through and it ran into the swamp. Apparently I still have at least another two to take out.

I am looking for some accurate knowledge of nuisance tags. I did my last round of camera checks last night with my 2 young boys. As we wrapped up in the woods and cam out around the orchard I was startled by a “hunter” posted up with a rifle pointing down the lane way. I know he was legal in his was but the safety of him shooting down the hill where I just came from was a big concern. How are nuisance tags handed out? Quantity, legal hours and dates of use? Can they use lights at night? Does the hunter need to be registered on the permit? Doe only? Any info is welcome. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Well last years hunting season was a great success for me. Unfortunately this year isn’t starting so well. The spot I hunt in Bristol where I took my bow buck last year, we lost our entire food plot. Three weeks back, the farmer north of us had 4 cows get out and they decimated the plot in 2 days. This is a first. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

When running your trail cams over a trail with no food, how long do you keep it there with minimal deer sightings before moving it to find a more active trail? Especially this close to the season Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I tried using a decoy two years back. I had some younger bucks circle it quite interested but confused. The does seem to be very timid of it and strayed away from it. It did help stop a coyote dead in its tracks for me to take him with my bow. I didn’t have any experience with mature bucks with it however. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I wrapped up my first season of coyote hunting. It was a good year with learning and calling in some dogs and fox. I was lucky to have shot one coyote. I hunted sat afternoon with my wife and only managed to call in 4 crows. (since she has enjoyed going out there so much.... she is encouraging me to go out and buy better products for next season) The fresh dog tracks dried up considerably out there also but they still move the area. Got out again from sunset to 12:30 with a buddy last night. Very quiet on the yote end but pulled something to the field edge that would never commit and also had one fox charge in on the caller. Nice job to everyone out there And thank you for advice given. Hoping somebody post on more coyote before the season closes.

Nice work, glad you got the take one to add in with the kids yotes on the year.

I got out tonight for 5 sets. Very minimal snow here, some spots didn’t even have snow cover on the ground. Had dogs respond on first 2 sets but to never draw them out of the wood line. I was running a grieving grey fox call and had one come through the woods barking till it got close to the fields edge and then nothing. Anybody ever have them come in in similar fashion. Sounded more like a deeper bark verse a yip. Last set we had 4 different fox come running in. You guys are spot on that fox did not care about the lights beaming on them. Good fun night with nothing to show for it though.

Those are some really cool pictures. I have been told by a few people we have them in our area but now I can agree because I count you as a reliable source.

Would this timeframe be comparable to that of the rut for deer? Do the coyotes Tend to Rome outside of their normal range more frequently now?

Nice shooting whaler. Do you ever get to do any of the shooting or do the kids get to do it all now. I’m looking forward to the day my boys can hunt with me.

My wife has really been wanting to Come coyote hunting with me. So why do dinner and movies when you can bring her coyote hunting for date night. Being new to coyote hunting this season, I brought her out to where I do most my deer hunting as I know that spot is too coyote rich. I let her do the fox pro caller..... and she called me in my first coyote while actually coyote hunting. Unfortunately the drag out through 12” snow and nearly 8/10 of a mile Up hill dragging was not fun but she help the whole way. I’ve enjoyed everyone’s pictures and success and am glad i proved my first success. I have called a few coyotes into 30 yards unfortunately some of those areas I am hunting have to use a bow.

Has anybody ever used fox in their bait station?

Took this picture in September. I was hoping this would be a prelude to a successful hunting season figuring if my kid and pregnant wife could get within 55 yards of deer, it might be a good year for me. And it was!!!

What do you guys look at in the weather patterns to deem it a better night/day to hunt. Temp, pressure, cloud cover, fronts?

I think it’s great Von can trap that many dogs year after year. I would love to have the time as well as that skill set. I would bet though using the same trap lines year after year would yield many juvenile dogs. Similar to many areas where brown and down exist heavily. The animals never reach their full potential. Similarly I seem to hunt a class of 110-120 bucks..... 10 miles down the road they seem to get 140 class minimum with crazy 14-16pt deer that I never see. Dont dispute Facts just because you have never been shown a large dog. But if you have any advice from Von that would help me improve my coyote hunting success... I would be more than willing to listen and would be appreciative of it.

Lol, OK we will try this picture. This coyote was actually prowling my buddies dog in Bristol last season where I shot my buck earlier this bow season. His pet dog was whining at the door to come in with its tail between its legs. This coyote was 70 yards out in the field just staring his dog down. This male did weigh 62lbs.

Not sure how true this is but if it is, it signals there could be some potentially large dogs on the west side. What type of scale do you guys used to weigh the dogs. The digital scale I saw at Field & Stream only went up to 50 pounds.

Nice job with the four dog day. I Finally got some good lights and I’m going out tonight for two sets at two new spots.

If you need some roadkill, I saw a fresh deer car accident tonight with the deer still sitting upright on the parkway east bound just east of Long Pond Road.

How long do you typically run a call before pausing and switching to another. How long after sunset would you typically run vocals

I went Out this morning. Tried a bunch of different calls but nothing pulled anything in. Visibility was very low due to 3” of snow on branches. On the bright side their was dog tracks absolutely all over. Mainly single tracks, no groups. Apparently being out after the snow stopped last night would have been Great.

Great looking dog
