Dave and I have decided to purchase a decoy. We have researched several models including the quiver critter, mojo critter, the Western Rivers decoy and the Fox pro jack in the box II. We have both read reviews about each one and the all seem to have their ups and downs as I would expect. We were leaning towards the Mojo Critter but a lot of reviews indicate they arrive broken, the switches brake easily and the manufacturer is not easy to deal with. So we are most likely going to purchase the Quiver critter instead. I am looking for any real life field advice on these here decoys and what people think of them. Also was wondering if anyone has used the silhouette or 3d coyote decoys with any luck. We will be purchasing one of the decoys most likely the quiver critter from Cabelas in Scarborough Maine Wed. night on our way up to Maine for a few days of coyote hunting.

Button Bucks
On July - 28 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
Many hunters want to protect buck fawns, those inglorious “button bucks.” Identifying button bucks can be tough, but you can do it. Button bucks often travel alone; adult does, rarely. Buck fawns are squarish in body shape, whereas mature does are more rectangular. Glass the deer’s head. Even if you can’t make out the antler buds, a buck’s head is flat between the ears compared with a doe’s more rounded skull.

live chicken as coyote bait
On July - 25 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
Well recently I wanted to get a live chicken to use while hunting yotes. I knew it would be a great way to attract a predator. There is one lone tree in the middle of the clear cut that we are going to hunt, and decided it would be a good idea to tie up the chicken there. I looked all around the web and read through Maine’s laws and regulations, but couldn’t find anything saying that this would be illegal. The first person I contacted regarding this was from a Maine coyote hunting website and his response was definitely illegal. I still was not convinced because I could not locate this law anywhere, and I read through the hunting laws many times.

Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Alex I have been hunting for 9 years now. I have had bad years and good ones as we all have had. Me and Dave are brother in laws and are hunting partners. I generally hunt with a Remington 30-06 180 grain remington bullet, or a remington 870 express magnum shotgun with a 3 inch copper solid slug. This past year Me and Dave have begun to hunt Coyote. We are trying different methods so far such as Bait, electronic and mouth calling and hunting at night with a permit. I did receive positive news tonight that a friend of the family requested we hunt their property for coyotes, which is huge for someone to do in this area of the state. So maybe Sunday we will head over check the property out and hopefully start to get some good photos for you all. That’s a little about me and keep checking back for further info, photos and anything else
