What do you want to know about predators and hunting them?
Ask here and we will attempt to solve all of it, including any misinformation you have read on PMS.
If you are a member, you are probably already an expert in some aspect of this sport, so don't be afraid to get your lunch handed to you. Happens to everybody.
I'm wondering what's the best sound? Super chicken, maybe? Anybody have an opinion? I usually have terrible luck starting an entertaining thread. Is it because I know too much or not enough?
Good hunting. LB

reply: Barry, that's easy! I think you have answered your own question. Is "set" in your lexicon, like set down? (sic)
Can we have a serious question, please!

I have been known to play continuous sound while driving and while hunting or even relieving myself. Continuous as in all the time, especially if it's windy. After a while, you can hear it in your head while sleeping. Continuous sound works for me.
Next question.

Dear panel of experts,
I was just wondering where the best place to hunt yotes in Utah is?
You don't have to give me your honey-holes, just a some places where a guy can bust a few dawgs and have a good day without getting too far off the pavement. If anybody is heading out this weekend, I'll tag along. My truck is down right now and I'm a little short on cash, so you'll have to drive. I can call'em pretty good though and I like to talk, so it should be a good time. Who knows, maybe you can learn something along the way?
PM me your offers and directions. Just make sure they are good directions. I don't wanna get lost.
This panel thing is great idea.
(In all seriousness, I've seen post's akin to this from people searching for hunting spots in Utah dozens of times. Probably more than all the other states combined.)

You NAILED that sucker Lonny!
I've seen THAT post. Almost word for word. TOO MANY TIMES!
...UTAH...don't want your honey hole...UTAH...just a good area to go...UTAH...without going too far...UTAH...would love to tag along with you...UTAH...could you show me on a map...UTAH...
The one that KILLS me though, and I used to get this in email a lot, is how they play the "somewhere to take my SON" card. I automatically brand you an ass hat douche bag for life if you email me out of the clear blue sky asking for a good place to go hunt coyotes, and then throw in the "just need a good place to TAKE MY SON" card for sympathy. I've gotten that one so many times I've developed a flinch for it...

I have seen several pictures of black coyotes. If it doesn't have a collar, it is a coyote...right?
Also,urgent help needed for this one. I own 5 acres behind my house and have a mountain lion living there. I have already located the den [confirmed by huffing] and was wondering should I just sit and wait for it to come out or build a bait pile?

That's why they all drive to Nevada, Lonny. Utah has a scorched earth hunting policy. That country should hold a lot more coyotes than it does. Go figure.
Best bet extreme northwest or extreme southwest. No promises, good luck. Write when you can, and stay away from the polygamists, and don't borrow a cup of sugar from them, either.
Good hunting. LB

AR, Those black dogs have been proved to have wolf DNA.
edit: by the way, if you do your part, a 22 rimfire is all you need to kill any coyote that ever lived, black or otherwise.

Excellent question Randy but, the question that needs to be answered is if the said lion is one of the notorious black ones? This could change things drastically.

P.S. Don't forget your scent lock while putting out the bait pile.

If it's five acres or less, a tethered lamb works the best. The cougar will show up before midnight, in most cases. Point your truck's headlights at the lamb, get close but don't leave the engine running the whole time, just enough to keep the cab warm. Shoot off the door sill, if legal.
Good luck, LB

So far not a single offer or really good directions to some yote spots...
I'm gettin' the feeling you guy's don't want to help a new guy out! We as hunter's need to stick together and help each other. The anti's want to divide us so they can outlaw hunting.
We must stick together!
Anybody have a fur-friendly .300 Mag load for fox and bobcat?

Lonny; This is secret information, not to be shared with ANYONE.
The best place to hunt fur in Utah is Wells Nev. at a ranch called The Hacienda. There is an access fee, but it must be worth it; lots of Utah plates on the vehicles every week-end.

Where's the guys back east that really need the answers? TA, Cdog?
The best machine for the money is the tried and true Johnny Stewart 512. The digital fad is just that, over rated, way too expensive and a good hand call works just as well, if you do your part.
It's good to know that all those Utah hunters that contact me, that they take my advice and write to DAA for hot spots close to town, where they can take their son.
Good hunting. LB
koko, is that the place with the ten foot purple privacy fence at the end of the culdesac? [ February 08, 2010, 01:27 PM: Message edited by: Leonard ]

"It's good to know that all those Utah hunters that contact me, that they take my advice and write to DAA for hot spots close to town, where they can take their son." --------------------------- They can always call Vic, or maybe John-Henry. There are two or three coyotes behind every cactus down there.
-------------------- If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.
