I checked one of the worst poachers in Greene Co a week after deer season ended, sitting in a shooting house on a greenfield with a 264WM...said he was coyote hunting. I said OK, have fun. But I kept a closer eye on him. In that situation I would wait for further evidence of DEER hunting...like a dead deer....
Wasn't hard to show he was HUNTING, just not exactly what he was hunting.
Fella is waist deep in a pond, wearing waders, blowing a duck call, shotgun loaded with #4s...he's probably duck hunting....
you wouldn't be hunting coyotes over corn ...would ya???
