Ferry county yote hunt

[KB88]

Buddy from work are working on some cell phone sites in republic and curlew soon, looking for some areas to knock down some yotes. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Not looking to take your hole, just looking for some after work fun.

Thanks

Good luck. We don't see the coyotes here like we used too. The wolves have run them out is the only thing we can think of.

Let me know when you're here ?

Hunting coyotes in wolf country is no different than hunting them around cougars. Throw in some female coyote vocalizations to let the coyote know it's safe to come to dinner.

I'll put it another way. Wolves have run the coyotes out of here. We very seldom see them even during calving.

Campmeat,

Are you sure the wolves have ran the coyotes out?

I will agree with Campmeat on this subject 100%. Woffies and Yote's don't mix period. While hunting with my guide on Vancouver Island years back, I commented about the amount of dog tracks and I said you sure have a bunch of Yote's here; his response was "Nope" the wolves eat them all.

Your guide is a moron. Coyotes are not native to Vancouver Island. There is a whole host of large & small animals that are present on the mainland but not on the Island.

I also better get the Memo out to all the coyotes in Alaska, that wolves and coyotes don't mix "period". The funny thing is one of the largest population of coyotes moved into an area of high wolf densities as the coyote is a relatively new addition to Alaska.

Outside of the world of "Little Red Riding Hood" cougars in Washington kill far more coyotes than wolves and neither come close to the number taken by humans.

With the popularity of predator hunting and high coyote pelt prices I see far fewer coyotes standing around to be shot also. The dumb ones like that are all stretched or already on a parka.

Put a camera over a secluded bait pile free of human disturbance and get back to me.

My hunting buddy in Republic shoots 3-5 coyotes per week, mostly along the San Poil.  It seems that the wolves have made very little dent in the coyote population.  I think my buddy kills more coyotes every year in that area than wolves or cats do.

Past 13 mile south ?

I think it's funny how people that don't live here, know more about the area, than the people that do, weird...

Pretty tough for a coyote to come to a call if he has been turned into wolf poo! Just sayin.......... 

[bearpaw]

There's probably one reason cougar are killing more coyotes than wolves, because we have more cougar than wolves! 
When wolves outnumber cougar, then wolves will likely kill more coyotes. 

Currently there are still plenty of coyotes, especially in areas where there aren't many cougar or wolves.

Regarding ungulates in Washington, the total predator footprint is likely as high as we've seen it in our lifetime, until Washington manages like Idaho we should expect to see increased impacts as large predator numbers continue to grow.

Elk and deer are coming back in many areas of Idaho because in the impacted areas of Idaho you can hunt 2 cougar, 2 bear, 5 wolves, and trap another 5 wolves. Wake up Washington before our herds really begin reflecting the impact of under managed large predators!

A friend of mine who is die hard paddle hunter found 8 dead moose this spring to go along with several deer, and another similar friend of his found even more in another area, plus another guy we know found many deer and moose in an entirely different area.........so yes....we are really starting to see the wolves impact.  Its not good.

From town down to 25 mile or so. He has some cousins on the rez and hunt coyotes down there as well. He did say that wolf pack around Gibraltar has chased the coyotes farther down the San Poil. They have a big problem with wolves around 25 mile according to him and a Colville member friend of mine.

Read the early studies in Yellowstone, coyote numbers dropped 80% plus with the introduction of wolves.  They are now rebounding as coyotes always adapt quickly to any situation.
