SIGEL SPORTSMEN’S CLUB NEWS RELEASE
The 3rd
ANNUAL- STATEWIDE- RIFLE DEER SEASON COYOTE HUNT,
being sponsored by the Sigel Sportsmen’s
Club is quickly approaching. Monday November 26th, the first
day of the regular deer season, is the start of the 2007 hunt. Actually
the hunt coincides with deer season and starts at the legal shooting
time statewide and continues until the close of the regular deer season,
Saturday December 8th.
Last years hunt
produced 26 coyotes taken by deer hunters, during the 2 week deer
season. This years kill is expected to increase due to the numbers of
coyotes being observed during normal summer activities. Coyotes may be
the number one fawn predator.
