Just a question. Who prefers daytime hunting over night hunting? If you prefer one over the other, please state the most you've gotten in a day or night. I would like to know which is more profitable/fun. I'm very new to the predator hunting idea and would love some tips as well!

Night hunting hands down is better. But you have to have the right terrain and properties to do it correctly. What are your night hunting laws in PA?

Are lights,thermal,nv legal?

They can have illuminated crosshairs but that's about it. Any more technological than that is probably illegal.

Then basically forget night calling. Ks is only moonlight for nighttime predator hunting. No lights thermal or nv but it is legal to shoot at something you can't see at all...makes no sense

Sounds like mdc. Fools who have never been there, done that and know how things work. However they know best.

Night hunting gets better results most of the time.

What about coon calling? is that different?

I'm not worried about my scope at all I have some confidence in that. As long as my light has a full battery I can see about 50-75 yards through my scope.

Lights are legal to use at night.

oh yea, lights are, just not thermal scopes and the like.

I'm afraid of the dark...so it's daytime calling for me!

What lights are you guys using? Been thinking of getting some but was wondering what works best?

If lights are legal night calling can b pretty fun. Scouting is vital. Grass height,brush,elevation all have to be in your favor while scanning. Deadly on cats but when the lights (regardless of color) hit coyotes eyes you'd better shoot quick before they bail. Mho.

Many different options on lights. A decent quiet operating scan light that will focus isnt hard to find. Gun mounted lights depend on what your mounting it on. A rail mount or barrel mount kinda limits you to what fits

You got it

I like calling at nite. But that was about the only time I could do it when I first started calling. Pretty deadly on cats......even fox. But you'll educate a lot of coyotes. They'll almost always circle or come in down wind. Sometimes hundreds of yards out. If I am after coyotes only, it's right at sun up or last hour of the day for me to be calling. A full bright moon with fresh snow ..... where you can have an open field down wind is a good way to have some fun. Good luck!!

Check out skywolfeye, I've never seen a better light pricewise and quality!

Thanks guys! I'll stick with night hunting!

Did lots of it, 20 years ago.

Night for fox, i/we used a 3 cell mag light with the lens colored red with a sharpie.
Shotgun with 4buck is best, but at that time it wasn't legal. Now it is.

No need to hide, have called them right to the truck with the caller sitting on the hood.
If walking in, have your light on, sometimes you'll spot them before you even start calling.

Don't shine the light directly in their eyes, just over but still lighting them up seemed best.

Reds will hang up, but not as much if using a mouth call. I've had luck walking towards them once they sit down. 50/50 if they let you get in shotgun range.
