I'm just curious. How do you know all these people are using thermals? Maybe I missed something
TWRA approves

So we are stuck using a $14 per round shotgun shell instead of a $.50 223 round. The devil will be ice skating before I ever do that.

Shame they didn't approve for centerfire on private lands. Oh well is what it is, maybe next year they will....
Have you bothered to do any of the things I suggested to you a couple of weeks ago?

Not to swing the thread in another direction, but are we going to be able to kill hawks and owls?

I may have missed it but is buckshot legal to shoot
We don't know yet for sure. The press release only mentions no single projectile. Will be watching for the updated 2024-2025 regulations to be posted.

No.
Yeah we just planted corn and the Egyptian Wheat fell over in January so we get shatheads again. We haven't had a hog in two years but they keep stalking us anyway.
Go to bed. You keep posting the same thing over and over again. If the authorities can't do anything about them, what's to stop you from taking care of it yourself? @scn has given you several suggestions. Have you tried any?
or get off the pot. Have a great day.

Seems they went halfass on this
I haven't worked for TWRA since early 2015. It isn't my place to do squat.
If you aren't willing to try to get some help, it is on you.
I did it for several years as soon as Kentucky allowed it.
It is DIFFERENT than you are used to hinting at night and you need to get much closer. I don't know what's allowed in Tn but I used Hevi-Shot Dead Coyote 12 ga, 3 1/2 inch "T" shot.
You need good red lights as well as a shooting light. Go outside in the dark and have your wife hold a flashlight above her head pointing it at you then turn it on. No matter how hard you try you cannot see her, neither can the coyotes BUT they can and will smell you. You will see their "eyes" long before you can see them in any light.
Every coyote I killed at night with my shotgun was within 50 yards. Every one of them was coming to my caller I had set up crosswind. Think of it like this. I put the caller 30-40 yards north of me with the wind blowing toward the west, east of the setup is a known spot coyotes use. I would set up facing the northeast. Remember they are going toward the caller, not me. Some coyotes came from the north, out of range, some from the west, and picked me up. The one I was after would come in from the northeast moving south to circle around to get wind of the caller. I would pick him off when he came into range.
As soon as Kentucky allowed rifle hunting at night I quit using my shotgun.

Shotguns? I did not see a reference to shotguns, did I miss it?
Never mind, found it hidden under a damn ad.
That does suck.

It is total BS that every time they get ready to pass a law they worry about what people might do. Illegal to kill deer at night. Always has been. Always will be. If a person will kill a deer at night while legally coyote hunting they most likely will do it anyway. No common sense exists within TWRA in anything they do.

Am I dumb or is it only 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night?
