Question for BigTex or any F&W Enforcement
« on: November 23, 2016, 02:49:12 PM »
I keep having this argument with my hunting partner and neither of us are smart enough to find it in the regulation booklet. I know it is illegal to spotlight for coyotes when there is an open season for big game. My buddy is convinced that it is illegal year-round to use a caliber that is legal for big game while spotlighting for coyotes. If you know the answer to this please help a guy out and post a link with the regulation or copy and paste that section of the regulation into a reply, also please tell me the page number of the regulation.

There is no regulation limiting your choice of coyote caliber outside of modern furearm deer or elk season.  Not a leo, but im right.  Only reg limiting caliber is that its illegal to use a .24cal or larger during mod deer or elk, unless you have a valid deer, elk, coug, bear, moose, sheep or goat tag good for that place and time.

Look at page 87 in the Regs. Look at #11.
Page 79 has some info also.

Tell him thats ridiculous.  His .22-250 is a legal cougar caliber, and cougs are big game and xannot be hunted at night, so how does his rationalization fit that?  Your friend needs to spend more time reading the regs, and less time guessing what they might be.

Are you saying it's illegal to use .24 caliber or larger when hunting coyote during elk and deer during modern firearm seasons unless you have a live tag for big game that you are hunting and is legal to hunt that game at that place and time?

Go hunting with Jordan, and tell him to call you in to the WDFW.  If he's right, he gets 10 pts. If you're right, you get his 22-250.
