Well, simply put.... as said above, it isn't likely you'll see any if it is raining. But our weather here has already turned to light snow. Yotes do often hunt when the wind is up, as it covers THEIR scent from small mammals.

Tips: You won't have much luck "stalking" yotes. At least I never have. Sitting, as you would in a deer stand, is best. If you'll be out for a while....using a call that sounds like a wounded rabbit works well, to call them in.

I and some friends used to hunt them at night in Wisconsin (when that was legal there). Moonlit nights are awesome for calling. Yotes move more from just before dusk to just after dawn... in search of food, same time of day that rabbits are out and moving. I've never had any luck seeing them after about 8AM. Friends tried to tell me that when I was 'green'.... but I had to learn it the hard way.

Even if you don't see any, look for tracks and droppings. It's a learning experience for sure. But unlike deer and such, yotes can change their 'range' of movement, nightly even. But if you find some trails (tracks).... you may get lucky the next day, hunting in areas within the same 1/2 mile or so.

Tomorrow won't be the best weather for yotes.

That said your chances of getting one are better out hunting than sitting inside on Ingo so I say go for it

Get a copy of the DISCRETIONARY LETTERS from the DNR.

 

[churchmouse]

WE hunt all the time on private property and have never had a license to hunt. What license are you speaking of. DNR has been around a few times and we had a pile of them. Had good conversations about the ways of the world, guns and woman and they were on their way.

Again, what license.

Stake a liberal to the ground out in an open field and put nothing but Fox news or Ann Coulter stuff on their ipod.
They'll scream like the most wounded of critters.

Should pull a yote in.

If not it's still time well spent

I would think that a non immediate family member guest, hunting with the landowner , would still need a license.

The license would be just the general "hunting" license.

That makes sense. They need to keep up the revenue stream.....................

A general hunting license? Is there a bag limit by numbers or by stars (i.e., being legally able to take twice as many 2-star generals as 4-star generals)?

 

[Hookeye]

I would think a 70 gr Nosler up a coyote's arse to be a form of corporal punishment.

 

[manley82]

creepiest hunts ever for me... calling with a mouse squeaker only to have them come from behind you and howl... whewww chills just remembering it. haha

 

[possumpacker]

season doesn't open till oct 15 unless landowner signs request for you to take them out of season. you do need a regular hunting license. no restriction on firearm. pelts wont be prime till mid nov.

 

[lizerdking]

ugh... You don't need a license for yotes in indiana, they fall under varmint/pest law. The DNR Hunting and trapping guide is a google search away...

The season is for non privately owned lands, and you need a license for that...

 

[Kart29]

they fall under varmint/pest law. ...

No they don't. They are a regulated furbearing game species - not considered a varmint whatsoever. You might consider taking another look at that hunting/trapping guide a little more closely.

Coyotes
Landowners, or a person with written permission from a landowner, may take coyotes year-round on private property by snaring, trapping or shooting without a permit from the DNR. A landowner does not need a permit to take coyotes on his/her property by one of these methods, but a hunting or trapping license is required to hunt or trap coyotes on land other than your own.


DNR: Do I need a permit?



Just sayin....

Never hunted yotes but I had a friend that did, and haven't talked to him in years. (probably should try to look him up!) But he told me his method was to either get some Beef that was past its sale date from a local grocery store or butcher and stake it out in a field. He also told me he would get a call form a couple of famers he knows and they would occasionally "donate" some Piglet carcuses because their Sows would always lose a few. And stake them out in a similar manner. Not sure if he was full of BS or if it actually worked or was legal. Like I said never had the opportunity to hunt coyotes so I never checked the regs or anything.
