And in this crazy state of NY believe it or not, Coyotes may be hunted day or night Oct 1- Mar 25, no bag limit. Spotlights, night vision,and laser devices are permitted for fubearer hunting and may be attached to the firearm.
Also says, hunters should consult with local officials for laws that prohibit the discharge of firearms at night. WHAT?

With logic like that, I firmly believe they copied it from some Canadian laws!

Rod,

Every year I read the NYS Hunting regulations book issued at the license agency. It must have been written by a 5th grader. It's the most bizzare and vague piece of crap. Legal to do "this", "except". Read between the lines and interpret instead of clear and concise language. I believe it's intentional to be open ended on the side of the DEC in cases of violations.

Kansas prohibits hunting at night, no matter if you're clearing out a nuisance.

Warren,

The NYS Hunting Regs make no sense at all. Agree on the 5th grader analogy.

Keep killing them coyotes; way too many out there!

Tom,

I'm considering getting a caller for Coyote and maybe Crow. Went Crow shooting years ago. Had a decoy owl on a post and it didn't take long before the crows came to the call.

Warren, About 3 years ago this Jan. we had a pack of Coyotes take down a full grown Mare in the middle of the day. Unfortunately, they ganged up on this mare and drug her down from the back. The horse, although killed on a local farm....belonged to our Lapeer County Sheriffs Mounted Unit. Wily's mating season starts here in MI in mid-Jan. Wily is much more aggressive during this time period. We can Night hunt here in MI for Wily but with restrictions.

Some local Farmers have gotten burros, because of the loud noises they make and their willingness to defend themselves and other animals against coyotes.

A side note...

The mention of burros going after coyotes reminds me of a horseback elk hunt.

The guides were sitting around talking, and one mentioned that he had to be careful not to let his dog get near the horses.

Seems one of the horses had a reputation for hating dogs, and would stomp them if they came near him.

So, eastern Ohio farmers should put burros in with their cattle, sheep, etc.

My mother kept a llama with her (Morgan) horses as additional defense against wild dogs/coyotes.

Easier to deal with than a mule.

My friend who hunted the NJ opener yesterday sent me this pic of a bruiser still in velvet, one antler broken. They were out looking for the broken antler this morning. Deer was estimated to weigh 250#.
