Coyote hunting while Bear hunting?
« on: November 15, 2008, 03:23:44 AM »
Heading to PA next week with a friend and cousin for primarily bear but if a 'yote comes into view, I won't pass up the chance. Question is(I can't find the answer on any website and if I missed it I apologize)....

Can I use an electronic predator call for coyote during Bear season? If I get that gut feeling that seeing a bear isn't in the cards as the day/days pass, I'd have no problem pulling out the pred call but only if it's legal.

Also, I wouldn't want to hurt anyone elses chances for bear so if most of you think it would ruin a partys hunt that may be near by, I won't bother. If this is frowned upon please reply in here, Thanks and have a good weekend! Have been turkey hunting every weekend here in NE Ohio(Conneaut) and am looking forward to getting out of this state for a couple days and go after something with a little more meat :)

while they are legal for coyotes, im not sure i would use it during daytime while bear season is open, as they are not legal for bears. not sure how a WCO would look upon it in the field. if coyote hunting at night i see no problem with it.

I tend to agree and will pass on using the call. Have a safe and plentiful season everyone

You start popping yotes you will not see any bears and will probablly wear oput your welcome.
