Cant use shite here mate jail time for infa red night vision or hand held lamps. i quoted the sunset times as you have 1/2 hr after same goes for sunrise. You really need to take notice of the times just in case you get a conservation cop on your arse. Get caught its a fine, loss of hunting for a year and they take your vehicle 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok just googled to see what you meant http://predatoruniversity.com/predu/Coyote_Decoy_Dogs.html yes and no is the answer. the province is split up into rual municipalities and its upto them if you can use dogs to hunt yotes. Were i live i am in the middle of 4 RMs 2 allow the use of dogs. by chance i have just recently bought a deer x wolfhound whos parents were used for hunting yotes. Hopefully next year i can get her out. hunting with dogs is not as common as it is in the UK. The authorities frown upon it really 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really really tough they bed in the bullrushes in the swamps. I have only found beds once and didnt have a phone to take pics this has been a very hard winter with severely cold temps and 4 feet of snow they survive our harshest winters 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sussex 5,777 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 You can understand how they become a problem when they can give birth in temperatures that low in what must be the open , there can’t be much warmth in a pile of rushes in four foot of snow ..it’s a wonder the piglets don’t die of shock as there born ..I wonder if there survival rates are as good as warmer states . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ted Newgent 4,896 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 We are over run with them. Their numbers are through the roof. They are the hardest animal i have ever hunted. the government is really trying to eradicate them but they never will its hard for me to put it all into words. Like W katchum says they breed like rabbits. How would you eradicate rabbits in the UK? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
