roland

koorbloh · 01-27-2009, 12:22 PM

want to go, yes?

I need a hunting license and a scope and a sling.

WarriorDriver · 01-27-2009, 07:37 PM

Yes!

Gamuru · 01-27-2009, 07:49 PM

Do you need a license to shoot coyotes?

koorbloh · 01-27-2009, 07:53 PM

gah, too many license questions...I'll go find the regs...

WarriorDriver · 01-27-2009, 07:57 PM

well, it is hunting, so Ill guess with a yes, I always have one anyway.

koorbloh · 01-27-2009, 08:00 PM

quotes from the WA big game reg booklet

Quote:

Forest grouse & unclassified wildlife (including coyote) may be hunted with either a small game license or a big game license.

Quote:

Statewide, open year round
If hounds are used, season is:
Sept. 2, 2008 - Mar. 15, 2009
(Except year round with hounds in Adams,
Benton, Franklin, & Grant counties)

Quote:

Bobcat, raccoon, and coyote may be hunted at night during established bobcat and raccoon seasons, EXCEPT that: it is unlawful to hunt any
wildlife at night or wild animals with dogs (hounds) during the months of September, October, or November in any area open to a centerfire rifle
deer or elk season.

Gamuru · 01-27-2009, 08:11 PM

Cool. One of my customers has invited me--on several occasions--to go shoot coyote with him. I just may take him up on it.

Any rifle recommendations?

WarriorDriver · 01-27-2009, 08:12 PM

.223 min IMO

Be safe

pbmw · 01-28-2009, 06:01 AM

I hunt Coyotes. either a .223 Contender or a .308 Cloward Express XP101
Adds a little challenge.

roland · 01-28-2009, 08:11 AM

.204, 22-250, 222, 220swift, 223 all are good roungs amongst a few others.

308 overkill if you are keeping fur not worth the time.

koorbloh · 02-02-2009, 03:55 PM

oh, and just so we are all aware...I found my copy of the regs...on the back of the toilet in my stack of magazines :)

dammit it means the pages are stuck together

koorbloh · 02-02-2009, 04:31 PM

^maybe.

luckily, it's almost time for new ones!

WarriorDriver · 02-02-2009, 05:46 PM

Got a coyote saturday morning with my .223 bolt gun, 150yards running away from me, kapow! Knocked right ass over tea kettle.

koorbloh · 02-02-2009, 06:09 PM

lucky.

WarriorDriver · 02-02-2009, 06:11 PM

skill, and having a rifle that shoots 1/4" groups makes it easier.

koorbloh · 02-02-2009, 06:16 PM

meh, I have a decent rifle, and I can't shoot.

the lucky part is the opportunity to get out :(

WarriorDriver · 02-02-2009, 06:32 PM

ahhh, yes, another advantage to not living in a big city, and knowing everyone with land.

koorbloh · 02-26-2009, 07:11 AM

when we doing this rollie?

roland · 03-05-2009, 09:17 AM

jeff all we need is some time and a place, place being the hard part. if you want to travel we can head east one of these days.

1shot · 04-19-2009, 08:29 AM

I ve done it with ecerything from a .17,.22,30-30 works great in a pinch, and most recent was a 7 mag since nothing else was sighted in at the time..lol...it actually didnt do much damage...

done with .17HMR-second day i had it..lol

and most recent 7 mag
See if you shoot em right you dont do too much damage..lol

sunofnun · 04-19-2009, 02:21 PM

i'm down.. am comfortable from .22 up to .308 depends on what i'm hunting and where..

should be up to speed with the .17hmr here pretty soon as well! thanks 1shot!

WarriorDriver · 04-20-2009, 07:32 AM

how close were you with the .17 shot? Nice work, shot placement ;)

1shot · 04-20-2009, 09:05 AM

right around 100 yards..not ranged but paces at about 90 big paces...

rightbehind front shoulder dropped like a ton of bricks..

I almost was able to put it right behind his ear but he moved..

i wanna see some spent target pics when you get that .17 dialed in!!

1shot · 04-20-2009, 12:26 PM

lol thanks..

funny thing is I could only get that close with the .17 but with the 7mm mag i was just under 60 yards id say..lol...I had a video somewhere of it but i cant find it

bulldog18 · 01-04-2010, 06:29 PM

I have a pet coyote so if you see her please don't shoot her.
I have 10 acres out in King County and my coyote wears a yellow vest.
So you can't miss her.

Thats kinda cool.. i doubt anyone would shoot an animal wearing clothes..lol..

Kolat · 01-04-2010, 07:32 PM

I need to get off my ass and get my coyote gun sighted in again. They should be getting nice and fluffy right now.

Chainsaw · 01-05-2010, 07:08 PM

Holy shit guys, I thought the white tail hunter in Texas were over compensating shooting 120lb deer with 7mm's. Use a .38 lever gun and have fun.

1shot · 01-05-2010, 07:17 PM

you can never have too much gun... and what whitetails have you been seeing???

Chainsaw · 01-06-2010, 05:18 PM

They can be pretty small in Texas. Ive seen doe that dont break 100 lbs...

bulldog18 · 03-21-2010, 03:51 PM

ESPECIALLY during hunting season, I put a yellow reflective vest on my Coyote and my Alaskan Malamute. Last year, some dumbass actually thought my Alaskan Malamute was a wolf and tried shooting her with a .410

Lucky for me and my Malamute, he was a sh*ty shooter and only fired off 2 rounds before I snatched his shotgun from him.

coop44 · 03-27-2010, 07:54 PM

coyotes with a .223 sps varmit, all the time in CA, gotta get legal in WA but count me in.

gemihur · 12-29-2020, 04:55 PM

perfect setup for varmints

Daman9091233 · 10-16-2021, 09:36 PM

I would love to go. I have tried a few times and had no luck but have a real nice very accurate 223 savage and good rounds for it to. Willing to join if I am able

NapoleonUSMC · 11-03-2021, 06:27 AM

Franklin county has coyotes galore but most hunting (aside from Juniper Dunes) is private access. People here GENERALLY are ok with you hunting predators as long as you ask any get permission of course. I use a 17 WSM….good shot placement is mandatory with this round; though out to about 100 yards I get a good flat trajectory, I’d stay within 75 yards with that round for kinetic energy transfer.
