I HATE COYOTES!!!!!!!!

[CurtisWalker]

In general, is it easier to obtain permission to hunt coyotes or deer on private property today? I've never cold called or door knocked for coyote hunting before.

It’s about equal for any animal anymore. Pheasants, waterfowl, coyotes, deer, and turkeys. In my experience you have about the same rate of success no matter what.

My wife gave the neighbor permission on our piece (he has access to 1000’s of acres)… told her he was going to sit and call and try to get them out of our draw. Next week him and all his buddies are walking through, pushing and shooting…. Ended that pretty quick. With a 2 year old and a dog that like to play towards the draw, I need honesty on what they want to do or at least “hey we are coming x time”. I don’t have much time and with a 2 year old and expecting another, I can’t afford night vision. We live on the river bottom, I know they are here nightly though.

My biggest fear, rabies! Back in the late 80' we had a big outbreak, don't want that again!

How to Survive a Rabid Coyote Attack

I got a monocular from Boyd on here with Buck hollow…. It’s a pulsar….. this is pry more than most wanna spend & this is a big Investment to kill coyotes. Some buddies have some lower priced ones & do just fine. I’m far from expert. But, on this one purchase for how big of problem we are addressing & Time into it, on THIS I said “I want one I know I’ll like & last long time that I won’t regret”. If we were out for casual 2-3 coyote hunts a year- no way Boyd sold me this good bit cheaper than pulsars website.

Are you also using thermal on the gun? Or night vision scope?

Whenever I get permission, I always get a phone number and let them know when I intend on being there. Especially when night hunting coyotes! I don’t want to surprise anyone when they hear gunshots near their house after dark.

I’m as crazed a deer hunter as anyone (not that I need to state this) and I’d welcome coyote hunters. And I do. I got a few buddies that have tackled them. I personally think “MANY” land owners would. They for sure would if they trust the person. Or some might say “do it this time & please don’t do xyz (like go in bedding areas or their main food plot). I used to let anyone trap that asked me. I would just say “please do it about 200 yards in from road only and don’t go in these spots”.
Informed deer managers + trusted hunters-
Absolutely!!! Then u have next group- guys that own land for cattle …. They love coyote hunting too. I’d say it’s way easier to get coyote permission vs deer. & yep- a portion of deer managers I bet will welcome coyote hunters. To add to this… I know a FEW guys that actually are paying people to trap coyotes on their land!!!!

Buddy has the thermal scope. I got monocular for scanning. If I want my own I may need to do a Go Fund Me appeal to get the $. One toy like that every so often. But yes- we use monocular for scanning &
Thermal scope to shoot.

Skip. Yep, with the low price of furs nowdays, it'll be more common for landowners to have to pay for coyote/coon removal.
I don't know what Iowas trap check laws are but in MN, is every 24 hours.
If a guy has to spend 25$ a day in fuel to check traps with no return $ fur wise, it's gonna make critter population explode.
Heck, 15 years or so ago, I had a "black_book" with ranchers names /phone #s in Nd/Mt that would call me (Mn) to come out and help them.
And I did many times. 80_100.00$ per pelt worked fine. If I could average 5 a day, it paid gas/motel/food n beer at night and a 3_4 trip usually left a little jingle in my pocket.

Now, be dammed lucky to get 10.00$ per pelt. I'm not gonna spent 300.00$dollars in gas, 100.00 a night motel and put a 1000 miles on my rig to go shoot a coyote now.

Bad part is, I lost many 1000s of acres once landowners found out how much coyotes were bringing to a cousin_nephew_friend ect that wanted a part of the action even though they had never killed one before.

A few years ago, a rancher from near Bismark ND called me during calving season and begged me to come out. Prices of fur was dropping fast. He said he'd compensate me.
I spent a couple hundred in gas, couple hundred in motels, shot some 25 dollar coyotes and got compensated with 5 lbs of damn good beef burger. Lol.

Moral of story, allow a good trapper/hunter/houndsman in. If it's not gonna be a big expense to them (local), they will most likely do it no matter what fur $ brings.
Serious trappers Predator hunters have just as much passion for what they do as we "deer" hunters do.
AND keep this in mind..., ask to tag along for a day or 2. Good chance anyone "against" such activities will change their minds after a few outings.
We're all hunters.

I (may) still try for a few but with all this snow, it's just tough getting around.
Have only shot 31 this winter.
