I am a middle school teacher and coach I live in Everett and want to get into hunting. I recently finished my hunters safety class and am ready to go. Plus I really want to put my .223 to use.

Does anyone know if spencer or ebey island are open for hunting in snohomish county?

Be aware that you can not discharge a center fire rifle west of highway 9 in snohomish county

Post by: DJ_Mack on March 12, 2014, 08:44:50 PM: So you could hunt them there with a shotgun?

Title: Re: Coyote hunting
Post by: Rider on March 12, 2014, 09:34:51 PM: I've got elk calls. I could possible find a few coyote calls. Haven't considered hunting coyotes until someone pointed out that it was a good way to work on hunting skills.

The regs that I read said no center fire rifles west of highway 9 until the intersection of highway 2. Which means ebey and spencer would be good. Is this true?

Post by: Heredoggydoggy on March 12, 2014, 10:24:13 PM: The regs say east along along highway 2 to highway 203, then all areas west of highway 203 to the Snohomish/King County line. Not really familiar with that area, so I don't know, and the detail on my map is too small... (Pg. 81 of the 2013 Big Game regs.) :dunno:

Post by: Rider on March 13, 2014, 07:18:05 AM: What do you do with the bodies after they are killed?
Title: Re: Coyote hunting
Post by: DJ_Mack on March 13, 2014, 12:54:13 PM: I've wondered the same thing. Anyone with some answers?
Title: Re: Coyote hunting
Post by: McCRIZZLEY on March 13, 2014, 06:23:58 PM: A fair amount leave them, some sell/harvest the hides, and even a select few eat them.

Very select few.
Title: Re: Coyote hunting
Post by: Rider on March 13, 2014, 06:34:53 PM: Hmmm.... I have a local private land owner that want me to come hunt coyotes on their land. Can't leave the carcasses. Little interest in the hides. Less than zero interest in eating them.
Title: Re: Coyote hunting
Post by: McCRIZZLEY on March 13, 2014, 06:50:35 PM: haha take me! I'll take care of it for you! :tup:

Just kidding. But you could always bag it up and haul it into the woods or something. Unless somebody has pet cougars, not many people have any use for it, mostly trash.

Post by: Desert_Fox on March 13, 2014, 08:54:57 PM: I live in Lake Stevens, I used to hunt coyote for fun in Southern California and still do once a while. I would like to have someone to hunt coyote here as well. PM me if you want to team up.

Post by: Rider on March 13, 2014, 09:19:39 PM: Land owner requested bow only. No MF/ML - sorry.
Title: Re: Coyote hunting
Post by: DJ_Mack on April 01, 2014, 12:33:27 PM: Guys, I was going to hunt Watt Canyon until I looked at the regs and they have it closed for wintering elk. Any suggestions for open areas for this coming weekend?
Title: Re: Coyote hunting
Post by: vandeman17 on April 01, 2014, 12:58:58 PM: Lots of open areas around Moses Lake, Ephrata, Quincy and most of Central Washington.

Title: Re: Coyote hunting
Post by: DJ_Mack on April 04, 2014, 10:38:36 AM: I was able to convince my cousin to take me this weekend. Going over by twisp. If I get anything, I'll post a picture.

There are outdoor gun ranges west of HWY 9 and people who have private property that shoot west of HWY 9 as well with no issues. In fact there have been people checked by the game warden for hunting coyotes with AR-15s and mini-14s. Guess I need to do more reasearch.
