Start of Labor Day Weekend is Good for Hunters at Rolfe’s Statewide, 10-Day, Coyote and Crow Hunt
Johnsonburg, Pa.: Steve Krug showed up to the weigh station on Saturday evening with the first crows of the hunt. Steve harvested four crows on Friday and then added another harvest on Saturday morning while hunting both public and private lands in Elk County. Steve shoots a 12-gauge pump shotgun and uses a Primos electronic call. Steve’s crows are the first crows brought in so far.
Jim Miller, the younger half of Team Miller, brought in a 28.0 # male coyote that he harvested at 12:30 am Saturday morning. Jim shoots a .22-.250 rifle with a thermal scope and uses a Fox Pro electronic call. Jim harvested his coyote on private land in Elk County. “This coyote came in after about a half-hour on the stand,” said Jim. “There was one more and we’ll go back to try again sometime this week.”
The Uhl Family (Bryan is Dad and Kolton is Son) finished off Saturday evening with a 33.0 # female coyote they harvested together on Friday near 1:30 am. They were hunting private lands over in Potter County. Bryan shoots a .223 with a thermal scope. Kolton proudly described their calling technique, “We use a diaphragm call from Randy Anderson called the Hot Dog Howler!” Bryan followed up with, “It’s one of our favorite calls.” The Uhl Family had been on their stand for about 25 minutes when this female coyote came in.
Weigh-in is at 6:00 p.m. every day for this 10-day hunt. Additional information at the page, Rolfe Beagle Club.
