Great debate about incidental take of coyote/foxes while deer hunting!

[Rusty]

                As per your question about shooting coyote/fox incidental to deer hunting. As long as you are deer hunting and not targeting fox or coyote, you can shoot a coyote or fox while elevated or in a structure within 300 feet of bait. The “bait” cannot be a dead deer though.

Doesn't matter where you got it, you answered the question.

So forget this thing about taking them over bait,(BTW I say its legal  ) 

 

How about incidental to deer hunting predator kills during the bow season. That's out?

It really never was a question in my mind. Some people think too hard and try and reinvent the wheel

Ok, so I was lurking over at NJH, and saw a debate about the incidental take of fox and coyote while hunting deer, and the question came up about while baiting deer and sitting over it as allowed, would you then be allowed to take a fox or coyote? As else where's he rules say baiting FOR fox and coyote is a no no.

 

The issue is can you shoot a fox/coyote while hunting DEER over bait? As in incidental, the contention is no you can't since there is bait on the ground. Thoughts? I say you are legal as you are NOT baiting fox, but following the DEER regs, that allow baiting for deer.

I guess it would only be a concern if you hunt public land.
