Tagged a deer - can I still coyote hunt????

[Dan-o]

So, I tag my deer.

We hunt wheat/sage country with tone of coyotes.

Can I still coyote hunt?

Some guys told me it was illegal.

I know some of you are WAC and RCW experts.......   What's the law?

(And we don't party hunt.....   I would legitimately coyote hunt if it was legal.)

Thanks,

DAn

That's weird.... They're not the same species... You will be fun...but consult the regs

[vandeman17]

Of course you can. Only your deer tag is filled but you can still kill song dogs

If its deer or elk season and you dont have a deer, elk, bear, coug tag, then you cant hunt yotes with a big game legal caliber.  Leave the .243 at home,  use something <6mm

[fishingnut71]

yeah that. something under .240 cal.

[KFhunter]

You just need to carry the hunting license that you purchased prior to the deer transport tag.

I'm unaware of any caliber restrictions for hunting coyotes during modern deer season.

Only restrictions I know of are:

1) cannot use artificial light during modern deer/elk seasons 2) cannot use dogs to hunt coyote

Heck yea, gut pile hunting! .204 always goes with deer hunting. Not sure of the cal. Restrictions, but to avoid a whizzing match with fish n wolves probably bring a varmint rifle.

It says in the regs, if hunting yotes during modern deer or elk season,  you have to have a valid deer elk bear coug moose bighorn or goat tag to use a 6mm or bigger.  Its in there.

No, you need to look at page 87, #11

Also # 11 on page 80. No .24 or larger during deer or elk,or slugs and Buck shot.

Good catch!   So if a person has a deer tag (now filled) and no other tags for any other large game then they must use a caliber less than .24 in diameter.   I always have a bear or cougar tag in my pocket so this has never affected me. 

[ghosthunter]

Soooo
You can hunt Yotes with a 223 during legal hours only ,no night hunting during the three months mentioned above if open to modern deer or elk.

Wow. I've run afoul of that a few times. Now I know
                          This state blows

Thanks all.

Guess I'll bring an AR for just such occasions.
