40calXD · 08-31-2007, 02:50 PM

Can you really get money for killing Coyote in California? If it's true, where do u go and what do you have to do?

Have I been shootin Coyotes for free like a sucker?!

I'm thinking not, but I don't know for a fact. I'd like to do some yote hunting here in CA, just have to find a spot.

Many years ago there was a bounty it may be possible they have reinstated it as my understanding goes California is having a worse time with coyote over population than Texas is right now.

In WA State, you have to buy a "Small Game License", which enables hunting of many smaller mammals and most birds. Coyote is the one animal on the Small Game list that has a year-round season and no bag limit. For residents, it's $32 to get a Small Game License, but you have to take a Hunters Education Course or show proof of having taken one in the past (a previous season's license counts) before a hunting license can be issued.

You could just call your Fish and Game Department.

In Ca. you'd probably make more money by adopting a family of 'yotes being chased by the "evil, gun-crazed hunter with bloodshot eyes and whiskey on his breath", and then going on t.v. to plead for donations to save this "poor, misunderstood" species teetering on the brink of extinction!

Ha that is funny stuff toolman.

here they are consisdered varmints with no limit and no season. Dont know about cali but i go shoot them in utah for bounty with my friends almost every year in the winter. also sell the furs here in idaho (winter furs only any month with an r in it other then sept and april) get up to about 50 bucks for good furs depending on color, size variation. shouldnt ought killem for nothing there is some one who will want the fur or something check with any mountian man type in your area.

All you "coyote" hunters: I don't give a dang about the "fur". I would be happy to give it away to the needy.
My problem; not any place to hunt. We 'city' folks have to travel 50 plus miles and then have written permission to be on some-ones property. Words don't work in NC.
A country boy at heart; with a city girl for 36 yrs., and she has put up my mess.
Now by gosh; I need a place to go and help out the 'nite song birds' NC doesn't allow night hunting; excepting Coon and opossum's; my dogs are dead and I cannot bring myself to bring more home. It was sure an experience of hearing them 'sing'
Flopping around in thought to say; I need a place to sit and wait; or maybe a walk -about

I'm a bit late on this, but in Indiana there are fur buyers. One of my gunstores used to be called Fur Inc.

You trap or shoot a coyote and throw it in the back of a pickup. Repeat until the bed is full. You get $10 to $15 per carcass. The fur is shipped to Russia where they use it against the cold.

This is Indiana though, not California (thank God).

Fur and hide brokers buying hides and bounties are two different things, Generaly and im not sure about Cali, but in past bounties were placed by Sheep growers assoc or stockmans assoc. You still kept the hide to sell but you showed the amount and sex to a growers agent and they gave you X amount for species, sex ect

Hey Josh were are you selling furs in Indiana? I live and hunt in Kentucky and have been offered a place to coyote hunting in IN but did not want to pay for a out-of-state license just to shoot coyote. If I could sell the hide it just might make it worth while.
