Just wanted to bump this for the other newb hunters (like myself) who are gearing up for this fall!

Too bad Cerfur doesn't frequent these forums anymore. He did a lot of good to help new hunters. Myself included at one time.

Not that I know of. Cerfur used to but stopped because there was an incident. He doesn't really visit these forums anymore either. They used to be a lot of talk about guns, shooting, and hunting. But now it's more rants, politics, and cat pictures. Basically he wasn't feeling it anymore. It is a shame because he did a lot to help new comers get into the sport.

That is a shame on all counts. I've noticed the politics creeping in more and more, too. Sadness all around.

If one was lawfully hunting coyote during daylight hours, could they carry the loaded, holstered pistol from home, to the woods? The LTC has no restrictions.

Very useful info!! Thanks for your time putting this together. Cerfur, if you are still organizing group pheasant hunts i'd be very interested.

I would be willing to take you with me as a guest on a preserve pheasant hunt.
