Coyotes on public land

[hert2005]

First year gunning for this elusive critter and have hunted private land only. (Not successfully) Anyone ever hunt WMA's? Is it even legal? Any insight would be much appreciated.

Yes, I hunt management areas all of the time.

Some of the biggest "packs" of yotes in my area are in the management areas. It's tough to see them coming, because usually it's thick woods or tall grass. If you can find a pond or something, that usually helps.

The biggest problem with management areas, is that you never know how many people have tried calling in them. Coyotes get smart awfully fast after they are called in, shot at, or see people walking away from there sets.

good luck

Thanks Ranger. Going to give it a shot this weekend. Several pretty large WMA's in the area that look interesting. I'll let the board know how it goes.
