Not gonna get much help around here with that attitude, and recheck your season dates, modern firearm season for deer and elk are just 2 blips on the radar, most places less then 2 weeks, which leaves plenty of time for hunting yotes without orange on.

As for as "What are good locations to hunt?" , Like you mentioned L.T.Murry is a good start, Cowichie canyon is another. Anywhere north & northwest of Yakima.
Also please take a minute to use the search option. These questions get asked alot and there is alot of good info already availabe on this site with just a little searching. You will even find one started by me, where I too needed help.
Welcome aboard & good luck :tup:

Glad to help, during deer or elk I do know you have to have a valid tag for that season. You can hunt dogs until you fill your tag, you get your deer and your done for the arrest of the week. No clue were to hunt in Yakima, I can't even find cabelas in that town! Which is good because I couldn't afford to go there anyway.lol good luck & have fun.
If you are carrying a 24 caliber or larger rifle you have to have a valid tag for whatever big game is in season. You can hunt coyotes during modern firearm season with a smaller caliber and not have a tag. Still need to wear orange during modern firearm season regardless of caliber.

I don't have this years regs in front of me but it's on page 76 of the 2012 regs. Item 10. " You may not hunt wildlife during any modern firearm deer or elk season with any firearm .24 caliber or larger or shotgun containing slugs or buckshot for big game unless you have a valid license, permit and tag for one of the following: deer, elk, black bear, cougar, mountain goat, bighorn sheep, or moose"Could you cite a source for this please?

rynokron is right on this, but if your using a caliber smaller than .24 you only need your small game license to hunt coyote whenever you want, i do believe its illegal to spotlight at night in an area open to modern deer tho, now you dont need hunter orange to hunt coyotes during anytime of the year...unless... say your out in an area thats open for deer with a 30-06 you should probly better be wearing hunter orange and have a deer tag in your pocket, because most game wardens would probly give you a ticket,I don't have this years regs in front of me but it's on page 76 of the 2012 regs.

as far as hunting them goes, i use all hand calls from rrcalls, dont call agressively and only for about 30 seconds then shutup and wait, only call about every 10 minutes and only for 30 seconds or so, i know i have people disagree with me on this, but i always wash me and my clothes with scent killer and try to call with the wind at my back, id prefer to have a coyote come in front of me rather than loop around downwind of me and wind me from behind, coyotes often come in down wind and i prefer for that to be out of front of me, i wont let it get close enough to smell me before i kill it! :) dont let empty stands get you down....and my biggest tip is dont walk very far into your stands....dont keep getting up and going to that "better" spot...i will sit down farther back and start calling even if i dont have great shooting lanes, i try to focus more on not getting too close...and its easy to do!

predatorpro knows his stuff about calling! He pretty much taught me how to hunt coyotes.

During modern firearm deer and elk you must wear orange regardless of caliber if the area is open. No night hunting during modern firearm deer and elk.haha thanks!! u slayed some coyotes this year for sure!

i wasnt 100% sure on the hunter orange depending on caliber...i asked a game warden one time and he told me not to worry about it if i had a smaller caliber....but each game warden likes to interpret the law their own way too....im normally too busy hunting deer in hunter orange anyways during deer season...lol

It has been a while since I have been on,but I finally got some answers.Greatly appreciated!I wasn't here for any trouble,just trying to get the general Idea and info.I still need to get camo,think it would be helpful.Need to get a call or two.Ecaller would be nice,not in the budget right now.The 22-250 needs a few more rds. through it to be perfect,On paper,but off an inch or so.Can we still target shoot at Lt. murry? If we can,I will head up there tomorrow. I was told there was problems because of the Idiots leaving their trash out there.The .17 Hmr is very lethal,right on the money.I will have to get my priorities in order,whitefish season coming soon.This could be a toss up.Canyon produced nice fish last year.
