Plenty of Places to Hunt Predators

When I include the public game lands and the private farms where I have permission to predator hunt, I probably have between 100,000 and 150,000 acres where I can hunt predators. On public lands, hunters can take coyotes 365 days per year in Pennsylvania. We can’t use thermal or night vision here for predator hunting, but we can use hand-held and/or portable lights at night. To hunt coyotes, you just need a general hunting license.

A Record Year for Predator Hunting and a Raccoon Recipe

Two years ago, in 2016, my hunting partners and I had our best year of predator hunting and took 15 coyotes, 25-30 gray foxes, five red foxes, 18 bobcats and at least two to three dozen possums and the same number of raccoons.

Calling in Doves is Similar to Calling in Ducks

Decoying and calling doves really became exciting. Although I knew I hadn't mastered calling, I found out I could work mourning doves in to range. And the satisfaction that came from good calling and decoying welled-up inside me. I realized that I could work doves around water in the same way that I could work waterfowl over water.

When Dove Shooting Becomes Dove Hunting

With the proper equipment and knowledge about doves, outdoorsmen can enjoy one of the best wing-shooting sports. Opening day of dove season often can result in a frustrating frenzy of fast shooting, plenty of birds and much spent powder. But after opening day, the wild and timid surviving doves know how to dodge hunters. Dove shooting then becomes dove hunting, an altogether different sport.
