Hello Rootney
Im about 12 miles away Ashley. I to always get the delayed
so now I don't give my SS# and always get the proceed.
I talked to the feds about it at the big NRA show in Pittsburgh and they wanted me to fill out some paper work to fix it but I figured I would wind up on a new list. I dont need to be on any more list LOL

Sounds like a trick to me.....
 
I thought the same thing but my local mom and pop shop you can get a number once they background check you and just give the number instead.
Mike
 
Never heard of that. I have never had any issues with the checks so far. They always go right through. 22-250(Rob) gets delayed all the time. Maybe he needs to get that number you are talking about.

Rob, if your reading this check with Scot about the number.
 
That looks like a big ol stink pile. I read the forum. If all that is true the UPIN looks like a bad deal and you may be better off waiting. I will have to ask around and see what I find out on it.
 
Yep same thing I thought when talking to them in Pittsburgh.
bought my first zombie killer when Oboma got voted in (paid the price also) had to wait the 3 days in the mean time I hired attorney he said to let it go and wait which I did.
then on in I haven't never gave my social and haven't had a problem Vances in Columbus wasn't happy one day when purchasing a firearm but went through with it and was only a 10 minute wait.

YMMV
Mike
 
Thanks for the info guys. Maybe the next time I purchase I will try leaving my S.S. off of the form and see what happens. My FFL also told me about the UPIN. I don't purchase that many firearms so I am not going to do that. I generally get a Proceed within 24 hours so it isn't a big deal.

So do you hunt hunt coyotes locally? I'll be trying for my first dogs soon. I was wondering if calling is productive at dusk and dawn in this area or if the coyotes are mostly nocturnal. I have seen a few in the area during daylight hours but I have never heard any vocalizations until after dark. What are your experiences in this general vicinity?

I have always went at night....sometimes seen them but most always heard them. A few times we have been screwed by coon dogs, state land you'll have that I guess.
 
This will probably be a silly questions to those of you that are experienced predator hunters but I don't have any experience with night hunting so I have to ask. How do you hunt coyotes at night? Do you have a wide beam light that you use to locate and shoot? Do you use a narrow beam? Do you use some type of night vision device?
 
us poorer folks use a coon hunting light with a red cover over it. some use different shades but I use red. I have only tried a few times in the daylight with no luck and prefer night time. I also hunt mainly state property and have called in a few coon dogs the nice thing is now they put lighted collars on them so that helps LOL. I have heard them many times while it is still light out (evening) but couldn't get them to commit when it got dark. now that the weather is starting to get cold they will have to hunt more and give us a better chance at it. Did you get a scope on your gun yet
we will have to get together one of these days and see if we can put something together.

No scope yet. I purchased an SWFA kit from a SnipersHide group buy. Waiting for it to arrive. It has the SWFA 3-9x42 scope, Bobro mount, Butler Creed caps, ARD and sun shade. I will probably sell the scope and extras, keep the Bobro. I want to use it to shoot groundhogs and steel so I am leaning toward a 3-15x50. What do you use for coyotes? do you think a 3x is to much scope for yotes? Should I be looking at a 1-4x or something along those lines?

We should definitely get together sometime if you can put up with a noob. I have a couple of places around Sunbury that we could try. Some woods and big fields. I see them every now and then during daylight and I see tracks around the area I deer hunt.

I use cheap lights from gadget town. 15 bucks for a 500 lumen light. I put an amber dj filter on one for a scan light and left the other bright white for a shoot light. My buddy has a black and decker spot light that runs on c battery's. It was under 20 bucks at wal mart and works great for scanning.

As far as scope power, I mostly use a variable. One 3x9 one 4x14 and one 4x16. They mostly stay on low power but now and then we hunt fields where the extra power comes in handy.

Thanks for the response. I need all the help I can get. I've got an electronic caller, a gun and thats about it. Maybe on day I'll get a clue about this stuff. LOL.
