Varmint Hunting

[SafeWNY]

Here's an odd request -

I am looking for a farmer or landowner who is experiencing a varmint (coyote, fox) problem and is willing to allow someone (me and my wife) to hunt their land for varmints ONLY - we have our own land to hunt deer - we just don't have coyotes :)

PM me if you think you may be able to help. We are able to travel all across the WNY area, but please note that sometimes we hunt after dark (which is legal...).


Thanks!

Why would you want to eat a fox or coyote?

For pelts, not for meat.

Coyote hunting is not easy. They're smart and savy.

No, it is just for the thrill of the hunt. After all, deer have limited periods when you can go out and kill them. Limited by time and method of killing. Or it could be training. Start the wife killing small dogs...working our way up to the killing of larger animals. OK, so coyotes aren't dogs per se, but they are canines and it isn't like you can roam your suburban neighborhoods killing real dogs, right?

Clearly nobody has told you about injecting anti-freeze in to snausages...

I wasn't entirely correct in my assertion that deer could only be killed during limited times and limited methods. Deer season using automobiles is legal year round (though not recommended)
