QUESTIONS FOR YOTE HUNTERS


Recommended Posts

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST YEAR COYOTE HUNTING. HAVE SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING A ELECTRONIC CALL. I PURCHASED A EXTREME DEMENSION PRO SERIES FROM hsolist, (GREAT DEAL BY THE WAY) AND WAS WONDERING ON HOW LONG A PERSON SHOULD CALL TO LOCATE THEM, WHAT CALLS TO USE IN A SERIES, WHAT CALLS HAVE BEEN WORKING. DECOY, NO DECOY? ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE HELPFUL!!!

First get your permit from the DNR to use a remote operated device to take game. Then I use lonesome howls to locate the day or evening before and go back in the morning. Rabbit sounds are good, but i like the jack rabbit and woodpecker sounds. i also leave the call on almost the whole time till i see a yote and then turn the volume down or even turn the caller off and coax from there. Good luck the sloughs are starting to freeze and good calling should be around the corner.

I thought coyotes are considered a non-game species in MN and can be taken by any means???


Read other posts regarding coyote hunting, all remote controlled callers are illegal in MN. You can have a permit to use them for coyote hunting ONLY, DNR has to issue it.

They are re-evaluating using that permit for wireless callers. That tid bit of information came from our regional enforecement director. The big wigs in St. Paul are re evaluating whether a wireless caller fits under getting a permit for using a wireless caller. I have been getting different answers no for the last month, meanwhile, my caller sits in the basement, waiting for an official answer

IN THE HAND BOOK IT SAYS THAT A DNR PERMIT IS REQUIRED TO TAKE UNPROTECTED ANIMALS WITH THE AID OF RADIO EQUIPMENT. WHEN I READ THIS I FIGURE THAT YOU CAN HUNT WITH A E-CALLER SINCE ITS NOT A TWO-WAY FREQUENCY LIKE A RADIO, CELL PHONE, WALKIES. E-CALLER IS ONE FREQUENCY SO IF YOU READ THE GREY AREA ITS LEGAL? HAVE'NT HEARD BACK FROM MY CO BUT I'LL POST WHAT I FIND OUT.

Flying V has it right!! Electronic callers are OK!!You can even use a Electronic caller remote if the remote control is wired! It is OK to use your electronic caller remotely if you have to get up and move to change anything on the caller!IF it is a walkie talkie type remote it is currently not legal in minnesota! I have had several long conversations with a CO to get this clear!

Ok, to straighten the "dilemma" out, an Electronic caller is allowed to hunt, it's just a box that emits sounds electronically (mp3s, wavs, etc.), you can also use a CD player, MP3 player, etc, these are ALL electronic devices.

A remote controlled electronic caller is same device as above with a radio controlled remote that activates main unit, increases/decreases sounds, change sounds, etc, this is NOT allowed.

Now some callers like Johnny Stewart Praymaster have a wired remote control, these are allowed.

The rule was issued I think to avoid hunters with 2 way radios, cell phones, remote controlled decoys, etc.

Picksbigwagon is very involved into this, he's taking up the quest to have legislation change the ruling for varmint hunting, but at this moment appears a permit is the only way to go.

Common sense rules when dealing with gray area of the law, to avoid unnecessary fines, equipment confiscation, etc.

Until this is straightened up don't take the word of a C.O. 100% but have it in writing and signed.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
