In the last 5 years I have shot 31 coyotes, 1 bobcat, and several red and grey fox from my window. I may go out and freshen my bait pile today, other than that I’m in for the day. The attached picture is the 1st year I started baiting coyotes on the ice in the winter

Btw, I went to Forestry school in Syracuse, and I know your area a bit. In wildlife mgt classes, the winter deer yards in the Tug Hill region were a classic case study! Pete

But as you know population ebs and flows, mostly dependent on how wet or dry spring nesting season is. I always see way more grouse when I have a deer rifle in my hand, than I do when I have a shotgun.

That's a life most of us just dream about! Good for you! The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

I started when I was 17 years old.
