It is not legal during Deer hunting season because they want to make sure you are not tempted to shoot a deer while varmint hunting . LOL

It is most of the year. Check the Manner and Means Proclamation (10-05)on the TWRA website for the times it is illegal for coyotes.

I will beg to differ. Straight from a meeting with 3 TWRA Wildlife Officers last night. Right now, 'till the end of Feb, WMA's are under Small Game regs--rimfire/shotgun/MZ/bow. Most WMA's are open to Coyote hunting after Small Game ends. They are open under centerfire rules untill the start of Spring Turkey--basically, the month of March(watch the Juvi hunt 3/26-7). At the start of Spring Turkey, if you want to hunt 'yotes on a WMA, you have to use the same weapons as is legal for Turkey--shotgun and Bow. Spring Turkey ends, and Spring Squirrel starts the very next day, so at that point if you want to hunt 'yotes on a WMA it's rimfire/shotgun/MZ/Bow untill June 12. Starting June 13, it's back to centerfire again untill the start of Fall Squirrel.DIRTTRAX said:Locksley said:utfan1 said:any clue why centerfire is not legal year round?

Check the individual WMA you want to hunt. As an example, Chuck Swan is closed from the start of March 'till Fall Squirrel, EXCEPT during Spring Turkey/Squirrel. If you want to hunt yotes at Chuck Swan and equip yourself like a Turkey/Squirrel hunter you could hunt dogs there and then. Of course during Spring Turkey at Chuck Swan, you'll have to get drawn first.

What you posted has nothing to do with what I posted locksley said centerfires were illegal during deer season, and there not unless its bow or muzzy, wich maybe what he ment and just didnt specify. As far as the wma thats what i was told dont know as i dont hunt one so doesnt matter. Sorry though if i was incorrect about the wma.

The regs for 'yote hunting are so complicated, the 3 gentlemen from TWRA we met with Mon PM were quick to admit that. That's why they agreed to met with us, to help answer our questions about predator hunting, so we could know we were doing the right thing.
I'm not as fortunate as you, I only have a tiny piece of private property to hunt, so I have to rely on public hunting areas. Therefore I've tried hard to learn the regs to the letter--to do right, but also to be able to maximize my hunting experiences.
What I learned Mon PM opens up a lot more time in the woods for me; and more opportunities to use the more ethical centerfire. I just hate using a .22 mag on yotes, I don't think it's powerful enough for an ethical kill.

Just get out and ask, you will prob wind up with more land than you can hunt. If you can find any cattle farms and get permission you will be set.
