WDFW GoHunt: No Yote Hunting Listed
« on: November 30, 2010, 06:48:40 AM »

I don't see any feel-free-to-hunt areas that include coyotes. Do the agreements between private landholders and the state exclude yote hunting? If not, how do I figure out which private landowners are ok with predator hunting?

Just ask the landowner to be sure. Some like coyotes, some don't. I always ask and 99.9% say kill 'em, along with the turkeys, whitetails,etc. If it messes with their feed and eats their calves, most likely you'll get a green light. The other hand is the coyotes eat the whistle pigs which some ranchers like. That's so the cows and horses won't break legs.

I wouldn't go by what the Go Hunt site says. The signs out on the ground that say "Feel Free to Hunt" and "Register to Hunt" don't specify what you can hunt, so I'd just assume you can hunt anything that is in season. Then there are the "Hunting by Written Permission Only" and I'd guess with those will be the landowners that will have restrictions on what you can hunt, and when. Also, the Register to Hunt lands many times will have a sign at the parking area with specific rules for that area. But if it says "Feel Free" I would do exactly what the sign says, and feel free to hunt anything, anytime.

Thanks for the responses. I'd rather err on the side of caution, unless going for yote without asking the landowner is an accepted practice on FFTH property. How do I figure out who owns the property?

One reason landowners may go with the "Feel Free to Hunt" rather than "Hunting by Written Permission Only" is that they don't want to be bothered by hunters asking for permission to hunt. So personally, I would not try to track down the landowner to ask about a specific type of hunting. The state WDFW has already done the work for you. If you're really worried about it, call the regional WDFW office and ask them. They should know if a particular landowner with property enrolled in the Feel Free to Hunt program has any certain restrictions. But as I said, if a landowner wanted to have specific restrictions for that property, they would have it as a Written Permission Only or a Register to Hunt.

To find out who owns the property, you will need to go to the county assessor's office or see if the county has a website with GIS info.  Most counties now have tax parcel info that you can look up online.

Also, some of the "yellow signs" over near where I live have the landowners phone number. I'd call them since the number is there.
I think the yellow signs are "with permission only" if my memory serves me right. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes....yellow signs are permission only.  That's why the phone # on them.  Think of the signs as a traffic light...green.... feel free to hunt.....go hunting.  Yellow....need permission....caution.  Red...safety zone or no vehicles behind this sign ...no hunting, or no vehicle access..

Just a word of caution for those that don't know.

The Feel Free To Hunt areas do not generally mean drive-in and all over the ground, simply park, walk in and hunt.

Too many times I hear of hunters that thought they could drive anywhere beyond those signs they want to, however, doing that, will really get you some attention.

just checked out the feel free to hunt. pretty cool that the state is doing that. really wish there were some areas closer to me and that the go hunt map would zoom in closer and highlight the feel free to hunt areas better. its just a circle. not sure if i am the only one running into this problem or is it just my bad luck? its probably just my luck.  :bash:

If I call a landowner for coyote hunting permission I also ask them about the other farmers in the area and how they feel about it, they usually say who lives around them and how they feel, I try to remember the names they say and call or stop and ask them also. I have yet to meet a farmer that has told me no on the dogs.

 :yeah:
I only have met a couple people around the warden area that said no to shooting yotes... and here on the wet side Most farmers are more concerned about not pissing off the neighbors or shooting livestock or equipment.... I can say Berry farmers HATE Coyotes with a passion... I have had several acquaintances tell me they want them all dead...
