Permit to transport

Just talking to wildlife and they told me that the permit to transport is only good for one day. So if you are going for a few days you will have to go to the nearest office and pick up a new permit even if it is an hour away and go back to pick up your gun and head home. What a load of crap. This for sure needs to be changed.

Caribou ban

How does everyone feel about this new ban on hunting Caribou in Labrador? good to see the government doing something but it still has to be inforced and they will have to find a way to convince the Innu to stop their hunt. That being said i can respect their reasons for the hunt in that they say they need to do this to to preserve their culture and to pass it on the the next generation. i agree with this but  in my opinion if they are saying this is culture and heritage then i feel it should…

White Coyotes?

National Geographic is highlighting what appears to be a unique Newfoundland phenomenon - white coyotes. The author of the article 'Snow Coyotes and Spirit Bears,' Carl Zimmer, says the Department of Environment and Conservation collects coyote carcasses as part of their research into the animals, and out of the 6-thousand specimens collected, six are snow white. Zimmer says the animals aren't albinos, or animals who lack pigment; instead, these coyotes carry the gene for white fur, helping…

Goose Call...

I've spent a fortune on goose calls over the years and can never get one that I would call "good". I hear lots of fellows in the field "singin' a song" with excellent sounding calls. I acknowledge that I could use loads of practice....but that's not much good without the proper call in the first place! What is the best/most popular goose call on the market and where can I get one?! Tks! John

Coyote pelts in high demand

Saskatchewan trappers are cashing in on a hot new fur trend.

This year, the price of a coyote pelt is going for almost double what they were three years ago. The best pelts used to fetch $50. Now, trappers can get about $100.

 

 

 

It is difficult to tally coyote numbers beyond voluntary trapper surveys.

Here are the number of coyote or "prairie wolf" pelts in Saskatchewan from 2006-10:…
