Hi Folks,
If anyone would like to attend a waterfowl calling seminar, whether you would like to share your calling experience or learn. Could you please enter your name on the the list.
I, myself am no pro caller, but Ed & myself would certainly share any information that we have to help you become a better caller. If we get enough interest we will schedule the seminar.
Thanks
Peter

Ed & myself were talking to the boys from Inland Fish & Game (wildlife officers). They have informed us that they are giving warnings to anyone hunting in Third Pond. The reason- The Race Track has been deemed, an athletic field. This means you have to be 1000 meters from the race track to…

Someone is selling lemon beagle pups in Shearstown. The pups are in poor health. One of the common problems is hip dysplasia. I'm not sure who the seller is. One of our own has a dog from this guy and the vet told him, it's from over breeding or the mother was in poor health her self.

Hey guys,
Looks like a great site, thanks for having me aboard.
I recently purchaced a 22-250 with the intention of hunting coyotes, so my initial Google search was to learn about coyote hunting in NL. I was wondering what techniques seem to work the best?
Cheers, Dave.

The provincial government will take a small step towards combatting the mooseproblem in Newfoundland.
But a large-scale solution to moose-vehicle accidents is likely still years away, Transportation Minister Tom Hedderson said Wednesday.
For now, the province will run a pilot project with 15 kilometres of moose fencing along a stretch of highway yet to be selected and wildlife detection systems at various known hot spots, also yet to be selected.
Hedderson said…

However all thoughts expressed by John are not necessarily those of this…

Question How long and how many stands (how long in your stands)
Question How many trips did you make b4 you shott your 1st coyote
Look forward to your answers
Hope to put together…

•Are coyotes dangerous? Answer yes
If coyotes are near your home
•Never leave edible garbage or pet food outside.
•Limit use of birdseed, and pick up fallen fruit around your property.

are an easy target for coyotes. Have pets spayed or neutered to avoid attracting coyotes.
•Never attempt to tame a coyote by feeding it.
•If you are having a problem with coyotes near your home,…

I am very interested in starting up, the Newfoundland ATV Federation.
I think the time has come for us to stand up to the forces that want to see this sport gone completely. The amount of tourism this sport could create in this province is astounding. We have a beautiful province, rich in wildlife, scenery and the friendliest people in the world. The government, I'm sure is aware of the potential for the influx of visiters, to view this province via the old railway bed.…

Sue Sinclair was attacked by a coyote Thursday morning in Maitland, N.S., a community about 100 kilometres southwest of Halifax. The incident happened near a bridge popular among both locals and tourists for viewing tidal bores.
Sinclair was standing near the tourist centre at the Gosse Bridge when a coyote approached…
