2016 Coyote Killers

[HeartLunger]

Am I missing it or is there no season for trapping coyotes? As I'm reading things, I can run traps all year, just have to let everything go but coyotes. Which is all I'm after anyways.

Correct. Season is alway open for coyotes.

Fur taker permit required if doing anything besides gun hunting? Or is one required then (thinking gun season, lots if guys would be SOL), but worth verifying.

I always purchase a fur taker permit but you dont need it for coyotes, you can hunt and trap yotes year round. Their is no set season.

Only other question is do I need to label my traps if they're on our land? Couldn't find specs on that.

I would, just in case.

Cool, wasn't sure if coyotes needed a permit even when trapping/snaring. Good luck guys!

Answer to that: Legally yes you are SUPPOSED to put your name on them.

You can also put your customer ID number from the DNR on them.

Hunted yesterday morning. Three locations. No dice. Did three sets this morning. One this evening 545-730pm with no luck. Showed a house. Checked some parking lots for ice. Just finished another set on my property. Nothing. I have tried every mix of calls I know. Evenings I try to start with a distress a couple minutes, cut straight to coyote locator. Sit and listen. If nothing, I go for some female howls, female invitation, and throw in a male challenge bark here and there. I am stumped. I know they are in the area because I cut two sets of tracks this morning. A set each on two different properties. Best I can figure is they were running their loops last night after it stopped snowing. They may have "been" in the area last night, but that doesn't mean they weren't 2-3 miles away this morning when I was calling. Oh well. I will be persistent now because I don't like to lose. I will get one yet. It is February. Prime time!

We killed 4 yotes over the weekend. Just enough snow to help out a little.

Just made a set for a little over 2hrs. No visuals. No verbal responses. Good observation stand with long visuals even after the sun went down. Trying at my property now.

Good luck, Phil!

 

[Bigslam51]

Phil, may I suggest a frozen yote decoy?

 

[hickslawns]

Too late Chad. I'm done. Sat another hourish. Had some barking not too far away. Nothing would commit. Haven't had much luck this year.

I was rabbit hunting, but the boys and their dogs were doing the lords work over in Harrison county yesterday!

Very Nice! They look so good when they are dead!

 

[hickslawns]

Nice!

Huge coyote contest went down last night in SW Ohio. Should be some good pics surfacing real soon. Weigh ins started at 10 and end at 12.

Congrats to those hunters, very nice!
