“The family that hunts together, stays together,” and families continue to be successful at Rolfe Beagle Club’s Statewide Coyote and Fox Hunt or Trap.  John and Isaac Dellaquilla, a father/son predator hunting duo from St. Marys and Kersey, enjoy hunting predators together.  For the second weekend of Rolfe’s Predator Hunt or Trap, they were hunting private lands in Elk County.  On Friday at 9:00 p.m., John harvested a 32.6# male coyote.  He and Isaac hunt from a tent blind with a thermal scope and call only intermittently.   

On Saturday at 3:00 a.m., John harvested the largest red fox, to date, a male, for the Hunt or Trap coming in at 12.4#.  John shoots a .243 rifle.

Bryan and Kohlson Uhl, from Kersey, were also successful both Saturday and Sunday mornings in Elk County.  Bryan and Kohlson harvested a 10.2# red fox at 3:30 a.m. on Saturday on private lands.  Bryan shoots a .223 rifle and uses a FoxPro electronic call.  They went back out again on Saturday evening and called in and harvested a 35.0# male coyote at 12:20 a.m. Sunday morning, this time on public lands.

Hunters are reminded that if they choose to participate during the third weekend of this three-weekend hunt or trap, they must have their registration postmarked by Thursday, 2/20.

Weigh-in is at 4:00 p.m. every day.  Categories include coyote, fox, largest female coyote, and largest female fox.  Additional information at the Facebook Page, Rolfe Beagle Club.
