Johnsonburg, Pa.:  More foxes continue to come in to Rolfe Beagle Club’s Statewide Coyote and Fox Hunt or Trap.  Josh Bizzak started off Saturday’s weigh-in with two foxes he had harvested in the wee hours of Saturday.  On his first stand Saturday morning at 12:30 a.m., Josh harvested a 10.4# male red fox on private lands in Elk County.  Josh was using an electronic call and hunts with a .17 caliber rifle. 

On Josh’s sixth stand of the morning at 5:30 a.m., Josh had just set up and ‘squeaked in’ a female red fox weighing 9.0#.  This was also on private lands in Elk County.

Josh stated, “It was a good night to be out hunting.  The moon was full and bright, but a light cloud cover moved in and it was perfect for hunting.”

Steve Krug contributed to the successful hunter list to date by bringing in an 8.6# female gray fox from private lands in Elk County.  Steve also shoots a .17 caliber rifle, and was using a Primos electronic call.  Steve harvested the gray fox at 7:00 a.m. Saturday morning.

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.
