If anyone here hears of a PA yote that was shot in a trap close to the OH line there is a guy on archery talk that did it. Just did it today.
lutzweiser's Avatar lutzweiser lutzweiser is online now Registered User Join Date Dec 2010 Location Negley OH Posts 700 So driving home from work today I get near the PA/OH line and notice a coyote out in the field. I slow down and see it is stuck in a trap. Now I hate coyotes as much as the next guy but I hate traps even more. I hate seeing anything suffer, and this thing was pulling its tail off trying to get out of the trap. So I cross over into Ohio and go home to get my bow. Come back over to PA and walk 200 yds down into a POSTED field and put an arrow through this thing. So I’m sure I broke a few laws but I don’t really care, I hate seeing anything suffer. Was I right or wrong?
If someone could make the pgac aware as well because i dont believe the guy has a pa license either. Lets band together and let it be know we do not need this kind of "help"!

Good luck getting a Game and Fish officer to go through all the work of serving search warrants on an online forum for user data to include the IP addresses of the user, and then serving another on the Internet Service Provider to identify the user account holder information of that poster, and then getting them to go out to talk to the account holder and ascertaining whether or not they did it. Also you need the victim of the case, who's coyote was arrowed, to come forward, otherwise a crime was never committed to even begin investigating. Unless their is suspicion that the perpetrator lacks a license in that state. Either way, lots of work, and hi-tech work, for a game and fish officer.
That said, it would be nice for all those piece's to fall in to place and see someone charged for this sort of thing. People lack brain cells today, and putting an arrow in to a trapped coyote is just ridiculous. Also I'm not sure how that's any more humane of a dispatch then what most trappers do.

Some are giving it to him . He needs to be delete with . He knew he broke the laws . People get in trouble all the time on social media.

Friend of mine traps the line though not all of it. He is well connected with the warden. Is the shooters name on the post?

If you don't like animals in traps then what are you doing on this forum? He wasn't, he was on a different forum
