firearm restrictions on coyote

[nateshooter89]

what are the firearm rules on coyote if any? and has anyone hunted the rosalia area for coyotes?

Pretty much anything goes, from 22 Short to 50 BMG.

I saw a guy shooting one at 50 yards with a 50 BMG. Just stick a dynamite stick up a coyote butt a light. You get the picture. Crazy *censored*.

would a .22 short even kill a yote humanily...reason im asking is .22lrs are very hard to find now but there is still a crap load of shorts and they are half the price

I was just imagining a  50 BMG Z-Max round 

(no they don't make it, but they should)

Can anyone post the specific reg for firearm restrictions?

Outside of these seasons you can use any caliber you want.

NO!  Not even in a live trap.  We have flattened them on coon skulls at point blank.  Of course, stick one through a lung, it will probably die, but I would not guess quickly or humanely.

When I read that link, I think it's saying that I can hunt coyotes with any caliber I want to, but if I'm using a 240 or larger caliber, and a deer or elk season is open, I have to have a tag in my possession.

Yep...just another stupid law that the Game drones came up with. Like you can't kill/poach a deer or an elk with a 22-250 or 223..... Those people are regular geniuses I tell ya 

I stood next to a Game Officer in Raymond, Wa. one evening and watched him shoot a deer that had just been shot but was not dead yet, he shot it 9 times in the head with a .22LR pump action rifle while he stood over it waiting for it to die. I offered up my 12 gauge but he refused to use it  I saw this doe rolling down a hill next to the highway, as I pulled up to the vehicle that was stopped they got in and left in a hurry, it was after dark, my suspicion was they were spotlighting, so I called 911. Gamie showed up within about 20 minutes, I told him what I saw then he euthanized the deer, however, one 00 buck would have done the deed more efficiently.

Is there a round capacity restriction? I was going to try hunting yotes with my AR but not sure if I can only have five rounds in the mag or all thirty rounds of rock and roll

and is there restrictions on big game hunting also

No to both questions -

[bobcat]

You can use a one-thousand round magazine, if you can get one that big. Deer, elk, bear, coyote, doesn't matter. There are no restrictions on magazine capacity.

[bobbydean]

Well in that case the 4th of July may be here the next time I see a coyote in my cross hairs can't wait!

[Jingles]

My understanding is the only magazine limits are hunting upland game and waterfowl. Limited to 3 rounds

Try to get that on video too, if you can. I'd love to see it.

I'm new to coyote hunting but I will do my best bobcat
