Any nighttime predator hunters here?

@Daisy, how far down in Alabama? I have some coyotes that need killing!

I live in Birmingham and my farms in Perry county. Say when and I’m there.

My wife has a sister and brother in law that live in Marion, I live on the coast we need to try and make a plan.

Get in touch when up this way. Happy to take you out and get you a yote. We will also be at beach several times this summer. I’ll bring my kit just in case.

Sounds good, just let me know when you’re down

We can shoot bobcats at night in Alabama? Thought it was only coyotes and hogs with a special license and raccoon and possum?

I shoot the cats in the daytime.

 

[Daisy]

To clear up any confusion, the cat was shot before 30 minutes after sunset.

Heartiest congratulations.

I’ve also done a bit of nighttime predator hunting as well, over the years.

I was really asking a serious question, I haven’t looked at a printed regulation book in a long time, now if I need to know something I just look at the Alabama outdoor website. Heck I never thought baiting deer would be legal here much less hunting pigs and coyotes at night.

I have only Deer hunted in Alabama - Eufala, in January 20 years ago and didn’t see much, was warm —-70s most days. I know there is some good deer hunting there but I was unable to find it on my one trip.

From about 1980-2000 I hunted ducks and later geese on the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, I saw some huge bucks around the refuge. At one time that county was well known for big bucks. The refuge was open to bow hunting but I never took advantage of the opportunity.

We called a quad in on this set. We got two of the 4.

I shoot quite a few foxes every year. The great majority at night. Cut my teeth on them with a shotgun and a lamp walking them up on a windy night to within 30 yards.
Things have progressed now with Thermal/NV And centrefire rifles. 22/250 is my tool. I use bait pipes with scraps off deer, skinned pheasant, pigeon etc.

SIKA98k: What is a “bait pipe”? I trap Fox & Coyote - helps my Chickens live longer. Found Coyote harder to catch and also harder to “call” even at Night. Bait worked well up in NY during Winter after snow was on the ground, Fox came in also but in NY Coyote were more numerous.

A bait pipe is simply a 2-3 foot long section of drainage pipe similar to the one in the picture. Screwed,nailed or wired to a stake.
I toss in various things that will attract foxes, offal etc. cheap dog nuts work. A trail camera tells me when the fox comes to feed. After 2-3 nights I have a pattern and set up in an over watch position nearby.

Sweet bobber

Thermal changed the game considerably - can be lots to see while calling predators. More than once, have had pigs come to calls.

I’ve only recently started using thermals for coyote hunting. It really extends the hunting season! Getting to hunt on a Friday night is awesome.

Have hunted at night for a few decades with a lamp, just ordered a Pulsar thermal scope and monocular today, I’m looking forward to the large leap forward that thermal equipment is going to bring. I have been watching the technology for a couple of years and feel that things are leveling out in terms of product development, Pulsar is making some of its models upgradable and giving 5 years warranty.

Coyotes are in serious trouble!

Big recommendation for Predator Hunter Outdoors a Michigan based business who is giving great deals and great customer service on Pulsar and other products. If you are looking give these guys a call.

Pulsar scope and monocular or binos are a gamechanger. I absolutely love mine.
