The laws are different for non-game hunting than for game hunting including fur bearing animals.Looking into regulations...if I'm reading correctly, I can hunt as an agent of the owner on their property for coyote at night. I'm looking at purchasing a thermal scope. Also finding any land owners that maybe want some coyotes taken care of. I have suppressed firearms also anyone have any info on if I'm going in the right direction? If so, any land owners want to chime in?
Coyotes are neither game animals, nor are they considered furbearing, so my understanding is n/v is OK there.
The problem would arise when something like a racoon showed up to your call and you killed it, as racoons are fur bearing animals which require a furbearing tag. Your best bet is to contact ODF&W for details, but the hunting synopsis does touch on things like that. Hunting on private property for preditors such as coyotes does give you a bit more lee-way than when hunting on public property, but equiping yourself with any and all information is your best bet. Get it down in black and white so you can show others when they get nosy is your best bet.
