mtheis Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi Folks,I want to do some Coyote hunting in Carlos Avery and the surrounding area. I am unsure though what firearm is legal to use. I am certain my shotgun is ok, but how about using my muzzleloader? Can I use my .223 there? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstroke Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Unless the rules for that specific WMA exclude them you can use any firearm for coyotes. They are unprotected and the rifle/shotgun zone thing only applies to deer hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtheis Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thank you! I will call the DNR to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metro fisherman Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hey mtheis, i have hunted coyotes a few times in carlos avery, only have 1 to show for it but im new into predator hunting. I use my .22-250 and your .223 is perfectly legal. If you have any interest in meeting up and hunting it together sometime id be game. Found a new field scouting that im eager to try out...

mtheis Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Cool. I will keep you in mind. When I went deer hunting out there this year I used my Doe Bleat in a Can call. Wouldn't you know it, a coyote came in looking for an easy meal. This has happened alot through the years (I have actually called in more coyotes than deer with the thing), and I thought why not try for them?I also called the DNR and they confirmed what everyone has said.
