Johnsonburg, Pa.:  Paul Costanzo brought the first predator to Rolfe’s weigh station on Friday, 2/13, a 6.8# female red fox.  Paul was hunting the Johnsonburg area of Elk County Friday morning and was able to harvest this fox on private land.  Paul usually shoots a .223 rifle with a thermal scope.

Josh Bizzak of Wilcox brought in a beautiful red fox, Saturday, to the weigh station.  This female red fox weighed in at 8.8#.  Josh shoots a .17 Hornet and was hunting private lands in Elk County when the red fox showed up at 3:30 a.m.  Josh uses an electronic call and red lights. “It is really hard walking right now and there is so much light out there with all this snow so hunting conditions are just not ideal right now,” said Josh.

Both Paul and Josh are well-known experienced predator hunters and trapper. 

Hunters are reminded that if they choose to participate during the second weekend of this hunt or trap from 2/20-22, they must have their registration postmarked by Thursday, 2/19.

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.
