Hey I just saw your reply. i sometimes pull into a power or gas line, put my cap door up & tailgate down. I have a big camo fiber tarp that I throw over my entire truck especially covering the side mirrors and tail lights so there is no reflection. I then lay comfortably in the bed of the truck, covered, with my coyote rifle Night Vision gen3 scope and call them in. There is no noise at the set because I do sets in different places . Only drive the truck slow and turn off the engine.
Have you ever seen chuck hunters in NE PA with their trucks in fields?
Well when scouting in the daytime I try to find areas where I can get shots in open spots on the lines. A lot of the power/gas companies have contracts to have them brush hogged and they need roads for access. I then look for private roads that cross the lines or where power and gas lines intersect. This will give you a line of sight and you have to see them to shoot them. Coyotes will take the easiest path to travel and will go on a road to a call of a wounded rabbit opposed to running through the woods. I like to pull my truck into the sidelines where there is some brush. Then put the cap top up, tailgate down, cover the truck with camo and settle in , start calling. Can do it in all kinds of weather. Very easy, fast to move to different areas if you have scouted and have the sets identified.
Why are you sending this to me??? I live in GA, but hunted in PA for over 50 years. Never once did a dairy farmer tell to pick up a dead chuck. Farmers used to welcome us to hunt for chucks and if we did a good job they would invite us for deer season. Don't know what kind of chuck hunting you have done, but we hunted about a week after the farmers cut their fields for hay. then in a few more weeks the grass was too high to hunt chucks. Then a month or so later farmers took another field cut. If you shoot a chuck in the summer the body decays so fast or the crows, coyotes, fox, buzzards get them may three days at the most and no more chuck!!!. There is no damage to hay cutting machines! The only damage is from chucks digging holes and rocks dug up. The machines either brake an axel from the hole or a rock gets into the cutters. Decaying stink!!! Where you ever on a DAIRY FARM from all the cow manure!! This apposed to a dead chuck smell that will probably be eaten in a day hundreds or thousands of yards in the middle of nowhere.
Just a Neighborly heads up, I wish you the best but with your attitude and all the yelling your not gonna last long here
Every time you hunt them you educate them. Or they're dead...
