Hunting the Hunter
|
|
Most of or leases
hold an abundance of predators. Coyotes are commonly sighted (and
heard) by most all of our hunters. |
|
|
Foxes are also
common throughout Kansas, Missouri and Iowa - red foxes, and gray foxes
in some areas. |
|
|
Our bowhunters
regularly report seeing bobcats from their tree stands at dawn and at
dusk, more than in any previous years. Bobcat make a fine trophy
mount, especially for the bowhunter. |
|
|
Keeping the
abundant predator populations in check will benefit quail, pheasant,
turkey and other game species populations, as well as non-game species.
Each spring, many newborn fawns fall to coyotes. Without human hunters
to control them, predator population ratios to prey species often get
out of balance. |
|
|
Seasons and limits
are liberal in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. In fact, predator hunting
seasons often remain open when seasons for other game hunting are
closed, giving MAHA members more hunting opportunities throughout the
year. As always, check with local
state government regarding licenses, seasons, and
regulations. Be sure and note regulations regarding furbearers
regulations, seasons and limits. |
