Running in the off season

[ray s]

I talk to two different game wardens and our District 3 office and told them why I carried a pistol when running dogs. I had one killed. I have pictures in my truck. I was told if asked about the gun as long as I answered that I was coyote hunting there wasn't anything that they could do. You can hunt coyote 24/7.

If they're going to let us do that in Ohio, I'm going to carry my cabine with a scope. Because I have seen yotes ,out of range of my skills ,with a revolver. I need to thin them down more.

ray s as long as you stick with that story. If they ask what you are doing with beagles you can tell them your training them to run coyotes and they are trashing on rabbits or your using the beagles as decoy to lure coyotes in.

A few of the guys around here that run at night put Bells on there hounds to keep the coyotes away.

We use bells any time our dogs are running. And the Friday evening was to close for me. We was standing and talking 20 feet from where the coyote was at

I wish that would have happened to me, I would have shot it's eye balls out. I have never been that lucky to see one. I even bought I remote control coyote caller and still no luck. I always carry a gun with me because of Coyotes, just ordered more ammo from Cabela's today.

in ohio you can carry a gun and say you are either yote or groundhog hunting and they cant do a thing about it as there is no closed season for either.We do it with our squirrel dogs too and never had a priblem.
