Coyotes luring dogs
« on: February 17, 2019, 12:17:13 PM »
I had read on here a few years back where one coyote lured a dog into an ambush.
I believe there was an attempt today. The coyote ran no more that 20 feet in front of the dog. And when I called him back, the coyote stopped too.
There have been 3 coyotes seen together in the vicinity. My guess is they were trying to set a trap.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.

This has happened at our place several times. Three times I was able to kill the decoy. 2/3 of them were small females but last spring one was a young male.

They definitely mean business. I know of three dogs around here killed by that same strategy
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

They are smart. In the southwestern states, they have been doing this for decades, often with much larger dogs, into an ambush of several coyotes.

there's a semi-local caller that uses a dog and gets the dog to lure the coyote into range... turnabout is fair play.

That’s actually illegal in Washington for some dumb reason. It’s fun to watch.

I'd love to toll coyotes!   youtube "Decoy dogs" if you haven't seen it done.  Predator university is good too.


My Brittany seems pretty good at bringing in Coyotes,  she never leaves her fenced in front yard so she's not "tolling", but she has a yippy bark and does a fair job at bringing in coyotes to the back yard...she's learned that if she barks at a coyote - it dies,  but I don't use her specifically for calling in yotes as that would be illegal.

doesn't bark at deer or turkey, but yotes its game on  :chuckle:

I think you need to read the regs a bit more closely.

I think is what is being referred to regarding using "dogs to hunt" coyote. 

Guess it would depend on how the dogs were being used or what they are or aren't doing whether this would apply or not?   :dunno:

What is being posted here is 100% illegal in the state of Washington unless the semi local caller is doing so with authorization through the WDFW.

It's not illegal for the dog to use its owner to hunt coyotes  ;)

I edited my statement.    In the past it was legal to use greyhounds for coyotes, then later it was still legal to use dogs but not as chase dogs.   I will say the rights of hunters are really being eroded.  Pretty soon it will be illegal to even look at a coyote.  Hunters should start getting organized before they are legislated out of being able to hunt.

I think natives on the Rez can hunt that way, not 100% sure, but I have heard that somewhere  :dunno:
