Coyote Hunting

HK45CT · Oct 30, 2018

I'm new to the area and want to go out and hunt coyotes this Saturday. I have the fur-bearer license, but it's confusing combing through all the MD hunting regulation websites, so I'm not sure if there's anything else I need.

Also, where is a decent place to hunt them? Been looking at state parks, but don't have enough knowledge of the area and information online is a little hard to come by

Farm in Carroll county I hunt is rife with them!

If you were in WV, you wouldn't need a license AFAIK, because they are listed as "invasive species, open season, no bag limit".

Get to know some farmers in your area and after a while they might be open to you doing some coyote hunting for them on their property.

Please stop by the Introductions area and tell us a bit about yourself.

Many state parks are open 8 am to sunset. Call the park before planning your trip if you plan to hunt at night.

Are there any State Parks that allow hunting that have a coyote infestation?

I'm looking to hunt Yote's this spring but I looked at the regs not sure if that's possible unless I'm just not reading it correctly. Will be using a ATN 5-14 NV Scope anyone got places or want to teach?

You can go to the DNR website and check state park hours. Many say sunrise to sunset, but if you look closer under ( hunting) some will say you may remain after hours if you are engaged in lawful hunting activity. Chapel Point, and Cunningham Falls I know say that.

Question: are hairs of a coyotes tail similar to the texture and length of buck/deer tails? I ask bc I am interested in making some jigs for fishing and wondering if it can be used and I ll buy some if it is.

Got this on my camera. Hope to get out in the next couple weeks to try to thin the population.

I'm looking for some clarfications I'm sitting here looking at the MD Hunting laws for the first time and MAN confusing. So I beleive I can hunt Coyotes in the following counties with a rifle.

Carroll, Caroline, Dorchester, Somerset, Worchester, Wilcomico, Cecil, Garrett, Alleghany, Washington and Part of Fredrick

And from my research on Central Region Hunting Areas I can hunt with said rifle in Grove Farm WMA, Old Bohemia WMA, Earleville WMA (with Central Region Permit)

I think that the center fire caliber restrictions for Frederick County are for deer hunting only and possibly for other counties as well.

Those Frederick rifle restrictions are for deer not Yotes; if hunting State Parks or WMA's must check each individual unit for any rifle restrictions or call DNR they'll provide info to avoid any violation.

You looking @ Deer hunting section doesn't apply to Yotes; case in point, you can groundhogs and yotes in Montgomery Co with a rifle below .25 caliber. I'm not aware of private land restrictions in those mention counties. I have hunted yotes in those western shore counties with a .204 & .223. If their is any restriction its a County regulation, I think Howard County passed a county regulation a few years ago.

I emailed the game warden a few questions that I had to see what they say. How do you find out a caliber restriction by county? I didn't see that in the regs.

County specific laws in MD can take two forms:
- in 'charter' counties, they are passed by the county and published by the county
- in 'commissioner' and 'code home rule' counties, county specific laws are passed as state law and you would find them on the state website.

And none of them would show up on the DNR site as even the game wardens dont want to get in the middle of that cluster****.

Good luck !

Do you have a link to these said laws? I just looked for 30minutes for any in cecil county and got nothing. This is the first state i have ever seen some stuff like this but MD amazes me every day
