Coyote/fox locations

[Lunker]

Once most of the other seasons wrap up I'm planning on trying for some coyotes and foxes this winter. Was wondering if any body who hunts public or private land within an hour of the cities has seen or knows of much sign from these critters on the land they hunt(especially 'yotes), or have heard complaints from land owners, game farms, etc. Thanks

I spent alot of time in Nemadji hunting bears this year and almost every night just after sunset we would hear a number of them howling and yipping. Only saw one in all that time but I know there in there. Nemadji is about 2+ hours from the cities.

There are tons around the Hinckley area. Not far north. There are some cattle farmers up there that would love to get rid of them.

There are quite a few in the west central mn area. I'm a couple hours northwest of the cities. Heard of a lot of bow hunters losing deer to yotes when they had to be tracked or left until the next day. Saw a few yotes, but no fox, when slug hunting. Find a clear moonlit night after a snowfall, get a varmint call and have a blast.

I saw a couple and heard a lot more this year while deer hunting up at Pine City. Once winter sets in, you should have no trouble getting permission from farmers to hunt their land. One guy had lost all his barn cats to coyotes and wants them all dead. His neighbor is trying to raise pheasants and REALLY wants them dead. I'd tell you where, but I plan to hunt it myself. But there's plenty of them up there all through the area. Just shoot to kill. They learn quickly, and once they're shot at and missed, they get really hard to get.

Wow, thatnks guys, the info is greatly appreciated. If any one knows some landowners who aren't happy with the yotes, just gimme a name and location and I'd be greatful, although I dont think Ill have much trouble seeing as no famers are keen on the critters. [email protected]
