Using live chickens for coyote hunting

[fishermanjoe]

Is it legal? I have a gorgeous dog that is immune to calls. I watched him bed down at 400 yards, I threw everything including the kitchen sink at him calling wise, he could not care less about them. So I am thinking about making an all day stand with a chicken tied up with some fishing line. Why you might ask? Because this is getting personal.

Don't know if its legal but it sounds fun

I don't see why it wouldn't be legal. Unless they deem it to be "animal cruelty".  

I think it's a good idea. Would be fun to try. Be sure to take some pictures of your setup and post them here!

A chicken on a string.  Sounds good to me.  Not sure if it is legal.  I don't think so since it is considered baiting.  I would call the game dept.

You can bait coyotes. It's only illegal to bait bears.

DAD used to take a couple chickens out and hang them by their feet in a tree. They will start squaking to hell and back........

It's probably a lot more economical than buying a $500 Foxpro.

there are no cruelty laws for poultry- buddy of mine got a call from the ellensburg police cause he left a couple ducks with cat collars on his friends deck as a joke

Well i called the Yakima main office, per the Capt. (did not get a name) you can use live bait as long as there is no edible parts of game birds. So you cant trap a live pheasant and then tie it up, but a chicken from home is fair game.    game on! I will be sure to post pics of the event.

Try to let the coyote eat the chicken before you shoot it!     (oh, and video would be best)
