Predator hunting question

[Bearhunter]

Trying to find out if I can coyote hunting tomorrow, but the digest is not very clear. Can anyone clarify for me what the legal days are. Thanks in advance guys

Not under the special season yet , but for shotgun and bow during the day . Yes

Looks like it's open per the chart on page 54.  You can also shoot them incidental to deer hunting, assuming you are hunting deer legally (have respective permit for the zone you are hunting and the deer season is open).

Worth noting too, right now you can't hunt with a rifle.  Chances are you'd use a shotgun, but it's limited to #4 shot.  Then there are the bow options.

Thanks guys. My brother-in-law wants them off his farm. The only deer permits I have are for shotgun but it looks like it is closed until Jan. If I read it right

Yeah you might have to wait a bit.  And it's probably smarter to wait until rifle is open for them.  Coyotes are smart, you may only get one shot at them before they wise up and make it a whole lot harder to call them in again.  Best suited for a rifle so you can give yourself the best chance to knock them down the first time you call them

I haven’t been successful harvesting my first deer yet, but just got my yote permit today because they run rampant on the farm I hunt. I have to say, I am extremely excited and almost as excited to shoot my first yote as I would be to shoot my first deer

So generally what happens here is that once deer season closes and coyote season opens...you'll see a TON of deer and no coyotes!

Here's how DFW explained it to me when I asked about that confusing chart a few years ago:

In short, it is basically this - you can always hunt coyotes/fox as part of the small game season regs from November thru March. That means the times, hunter orange regs, and weapon/ammo are gonna be the same as if you are hunting small game. There are some "bow-only" restrictions in Sept-Oct, but Nov-Mar just figure its under small game rules.

If you bought the $2 permit, special season starts on  Jan 1st thru March - that means you can use rifle during the day, no hunter orange, night hunting with shotgun.
