    All year or seasonal for coyotes?

    Dogs like to roll in some really foul stuff. A few times returning home smelling like death or skunk might keep the dogs tied up...

    All year or seasonal for coyotes?

    Why torture yourself and hunt during the worse conditions to do so? During the fur season is the prime time despite what the turkey/deer guys believe.

    Safety harnesses and other safety

    I'm guessing your sticking. Id recommend adding a rappelling option for setup. You can use a munter or figure 8 device if you don't want to use a mechanical. For stickers it makes things a lot easier retrieving sticks on the way down ...and it's fun especially after getting a deer down.. I...

    Safety harnesses and other safety

    To add to that, the biggest thing about if you do get yourself into bind is to not panic. Think through what resources you have and evualuate your situation. The great thing about saddles is if you do get in trouble, if you have pouches on it, you can keep your backup climbing stuff in them...

    Safety harnesses and other safety

    If you have a system where you can descend you don't have to worry about thigh pressure relief. If you're on a harness that doesn't reach the ground, most to the newer ones have a foot loop you can use to alleviate pressure. Stand in the loop and that relaxes pressure

    Damned raccoons

    Raccoons make great garden fertilizer. Dig hole, plant raccoon, pur 4-6" of wood chips on top and you can grow some big plants

    Damned raccoons

    Just catching them at the feeders is enough to spook them off for a while. That's why I don't set traps on feeders when I'm doing work for hunters. Why I tell guys to stop mowing around the feeders let the grass grow so trails can develop and catching predators around feeders here a lot easier

    Groundhog tactics?

    I almost never bait groundhogs. The problem with using bait is domestic cats which might get curious as to whats going on, not necessarily that they'll try to eat it and if you set traps late in the afternoon/evening and the groundhog doesnt get caught first, the next morning you'll likely have...
