Welcome to the site Ed.
Where are you from?

TIP: you are supposed to initiate your greeting with a joke before asking questions.

The funny part of your joke was Definately lost in translation. But I sense your sarcasm.

Anyway:

1) I don't eat Coyote or Wolf. Not alot of people do out here, but there might be a few. Hides are kept for various purposes.

2)Yes. Most hunters own trucks. Most common modification on a truck would be good offroad tires and maybe a winch or boat rack or tool box.
Quads are becoming popular now, so trucks are used a bit less by hunters for extreme offroading.

3) We mostly hunt in the fall when weather is cold enough, so we don't need a chiller. Some early Moose hunters will store meat in the local town or bring a freezer and power it with a generator. Some guys eat the whole carcass before they go home. Not gonna mention any names though.

thats good ^

Talk to Rishu Pepper about eating coyotes

Yes, you should always modify your truck, but dont tell people on HBC because then you look like a road hunter, which is frowned upon.

I find modding trucks, just plain old fun. Minus spending the money.

[Steeleco]

Welcome ED. Some of us tweak our trucks to allow us to get away and deeper into the bush, then we walk. Some guys can afford an ATV and therefore don't need to tweak the truck!!

Here's one of my Jeep. At least down here on the coast, some of those back roads can be very rough. There's 15" of air under the left rear. It's fun but risky!!!

[quote=Ed.R.Lee;575131]I'm new here and have been trolling a little. Very informative site (great generous sharing of knowledge) and I like it. I am not Canadian but I have tried hunting trips in New Zealand & South Africa (more like a tourist thing).


1. Some folks hunt Coyotes for the hides (and wolves as well). Does anybody even eat Coyote/Wolf meat like some other games?


Id say no to the coyote and wolf unlike your country we dont do our grocery shopping in the pet store I usually shoot them on the harrison wasteland in the big mess you quoted in another post while you were bashing loggers I usually skin them out and bleach there shulls and put them in my shop to look at I use my grandpas 303 rifle he brought back from the war it shoots better than his captured type 99

[gibblewabble]

In most parts of BC coyotes are a nuisance at best and kill pets or the odd person at worst, I would pay a buck just to leave one in the bush dead but I usually field skin it and take it home (pelt) and leave the carcass in the woods they dont last long out there. I hunt the bush lots so I use the 30-30 and hunt small blocks or openings in the bush and I dont eat dogs, they are pets or something fun to shoot in the winter.

I am not quite sure how to digest that but if that's a way to issue insults then all I can say is... stop talking stupid. :wink:

[Ambush]

Log Roller: I'd say your being a little over sensitive. The man knows little about BC's hunting or logging, but is politely asking questions to find out.
You could give him the benifit of your knowledge and maybe make some points for BC's lumber industry.

Why assume he is slamming you and your job?

[Hank Hunter]

Hi Ed, WTF is a tourist hunter?

[darrin6109]

Hi Ed, WTF is a tourist hunter?

log roller:
I have made my living directly from logging for the past 29 years and plan to for the next few years.

I don't see how your links explain your need to insult, with racial slurs, someone asking about logging in BC.

Ed R Lee could be forgiven for having a sterio-type about redneck loggers after his encounter with you.:wink:

Now that our new member feels real welcome, I'm going to close this thread.
