Post by: DropShotDarrin on January 31, 2018, 07:46:44 PM: Thanks!. I Will look into this. In order to access Kapowasin you need a permit which you can purchase on MARCH 16TH. I believe their $350 or something.

Is it just motorized access but non motorized doesn’t need a pass? Or either way you need a pass?

Post by: biggfish on February 01, 2018, 02:17:03 AM: Hancock has a non motorized permit I think it's $75. Lots of private property around Elbe dump near Adler lake lots of yotes too. From what I've heard from folks it's one of the easier permissions to get, not a lot of love for coyotes.

I live in the area. Family owns the ranch at the end of pleasant valley. My brother kills them all the time. I'm sure he won't mind sharing some of the fun. PM me for info.

You mind if I ask what kind of call you're using? I do a lot of bear calling on the west side, mostly using fawn distress. Lots of hours and a variety of locations and have never called in a coyote. I see plenty of coyote sign and would like to stay sharp in the off season.

Post by: Thermal Predator Control on February 05, 2018, 11:18:08 AM: Small animal in distress at a low volume, then throw in a none aggressive howl or 2, then pup in distress at a loud volume. Do this in a period of 25 minutes. This way of calling works best just after they kick there pups out

I was using the coyote locator call. It’s like a pack of coyotes calling all together. I had trouble getting them to come all the way in. On the east side I’ve called them in with female howls though
