Coyotes in the cold.

[Angler]

Well kind of cold, well cold mornings, well it was cold for awhile. I just returned from a couple weeks yote calling down by K-Falls with a fellow ifisher who first took me water-fowling. Very strange situation with very cold mornings and cool almost warm afternoons. The yotes also seemed a little confused. Very few came into a cold call. Our best bet was to spot/stalk/call. We would glass fields for coyotes and then stalk to edge of field and call them in. Worked every time. We also dispatched around 50 muskrats. Plenty of badger sign and we never saw one. Home on the ranch for a couple of days and then over to Redmond area for a week or two of more yote hunting.

Nice. I'd fit right in with my Remington Model 7 in .223!

I only asked because yotes deserve to live...until they are vermin on someone's land.

I can bring you some frozen yotes......

Just curious you have your Oregon fur bearers license for those muskrats? They are a game animal and the license is required in addition to a genaral hunting license.

Nope and i was spotlighting them.

Tried coyote a few times. It's not bad but requires too much in the way of spices to make it really palatable.

Acme brand hot sauce really brings it together.

Muskrats are listed as a Fur Bearing Animal by Oregon Fish and Game. As such to shoot a Muskrat you must have in addition to a Regular Hunting License a Hunting License for Fur Bearing or a Furtaker's License is required.

A Hunting License for Furbearers allows the holder only to hunt and pursue. A general hunting license does not allow the holder to trap, hunt or pursue furbearers, but only to hunt unprotected mammals (see definition on page 7 of Oregon Furbearer Trapping and Hunting Regulations.)
