How Farmers and Landowners Help Predator Hunters Kill More Coyotes | Mossy Oak

No matter if it is livestock farmers or a crop-only farmer, they both hold one thing that is vital for being able to call predators, that is, the land to hunt on. It took me several years to figure it out, but having various properties to hunt is vital in successfully calling predators all season long. Having an array of property to hunt on prevents over-hunting an area, causing coyotes to become somewhat leery of coming to a call or feeling pressured by seeing or smelling human presence more than they will tolerate. Having a good relationship with multiple farmers can provide all the hunting opportunities you will need while providing a service to them in return. That service being predator control.

Upstate NY coyote hunter talks about his passion: ‘This is the best time of year to be doing it’ – newyorkupstate.com

SCIPIO CENTER, N.Y. -- Josh Saville said he shot his first coyote in 2007 “by chance.”

“I got it with a bow while deer hunting,” he said. “It just became an addiction after that. I also hunt deer and waterfowl, but mainly I hunt coyotes because it’s outside my business hours and I can do it uninterrupted.”

Saville, 39, is a taxidermist whose shop, Taxidermy by Josh Saville, is run out of his home.

“When you deer hunt, you usually hunt in the morning and afternoon. I like to head out for coyotes after I shut down my business for the day, usually after 6:30 - 7 p.m. and stay out to about 2 a.m.” he said.

Smith, a northeast Texas resident, had placed his Moultrie camera on his 4,800-acre lease in nearby Oklahoma. The property he hunts is owned by a large timber company is located in some foothills far removed from paved roads and county highways. This is the third year he has been hunting the property.

Where’s All the Damn Ammo? Federal Premium’s President Has Some Answers | Outdoor Life

Last week I was riding around South Texas with Jason Vanderbrink, the president of ammunition for Vista Outdoor. In other words, he’s the big boss for ederal Premium Ammunition, CCI, Speer, and now Remington ammunition. This is a pretty wild time to be running an ammo company: There are an estimated 7 million new gun owners in the U.S. this year, consumers have been panic-buying rounds in everything from .22LR to .300 Win. Mag., and retailers are backordered for months; plus, there’s the global pandemic complicating supply chains and workers’ safety.

So, we know the question that’s on the minds of every hunter and shooter: Where’s the ammo?

Praveed Abraham is the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s first warden of color

Abraham, 32, is the first full-time warden of color in the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s 115-year history. His path to conservation law enforcement was an unlikely one — he once planned to become a doctor — and it began in the unlikeliest place: Yonkers, N.Y. Abraham, of Indian and West Indian descent — his father was born in India, his mother in Guyana — grew up there with his family. Wildlife in Yonkers consisted of pigeons and squirrels.
