Once the Christmas rush is over I'm going out to a place called Blue Marsh. Have been hearing reports of coyotes in the area. Will try out a snow camo poncho since we've had snow on the ground for a couple of weeks now. Unsure if I'll take the 222 or the 12gauge. Maybe both.
Have any of you seen the new FX3 FoxPro caller?

The Loudmouth caller manufacturer I was working with must have gone belly up. Never did get a caller from him. He's disappeared from sight so am looking for a good system to get.
Petey, no problem on hijacking this thread. I do it all the time.
The MY hunting program sounds like a good deal to get 'em started early.

RESOLUTION SUPPORTS MENTORED YOUTH PROGRAM
The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners today unanimously approved a resolution, offered by Game Commissioner Gregory Isabella, giving a vote of confidence to the Mentored Youth Hunting Program, which is designed to allow new and younger hunters to gain experience in hunting.
Under the Mentored Youth Hunting Program concept, the mentor will need to meet certain requirements and the young hunter must be considered "ready" by the parent or legal guardian. The hunt will consist of one adult at least 21 years old and one youth, and they may have only one hunting device with them that is carried by the mentor while in transit. The youth hunter must be within arm's length of the mentor at all times.
Two videos explaining the details of the program would be produced; one video will be provided as a public service announcement and one for any mentor.
"The purpose of this program is to encourage new and younger hunters to enter the realm of hunting," Isabella said. "The quality time that can be shared between a youth and a mentor is immeasurable. There simply is no better way to introduce a young person to safe, ethical and responsible aspects of hunting than with the close supervision of an adult mentor that this program creates.
"Today, we all seem to have less and less time, and we never seem to place the proper value on the truly important things. There can be no greater way to instill values, provide the ideal time and place to teach conservation, respect, ethics and the responsibilities that we all have as caretakers of our streams and forests, than by adopting a Youth Mentored Hunting Program in Pennsylvania."
The committee of organizations promoting the Mentored Youth Hunting Program are: the National Wild Turkey Federation, the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, the United Bowhunters of Pennsylvania, the National Rifle Association, the Pennsylvania Outdoor Writers Association, Big Brothers/Big Sisters Pass It On Program, the Quality Deer Management Association, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance.
