Ontario Wolf/coyote Seals

Thx guys!
Im gonna buy a seal and give er' a go :)

On a side note my cousin lived with the only recorded north american person killed by wolves in the last 100 years.
I talked to him a few times while visiting my cousin in waterloo ( they rented a house together), then a few years later he did a co op placement in saskatchewan and a pack of wolves got him...


Poor guy :(

In Ontario,there's nothing stopping you from buying and filling 2 seals this December 2016 and buying two more in January 2017,but,once there filled,you're done for the year unless you're a landowner in protection of livestock (or people). All Wolf/Coyote licenses are area specific,mostly in northern and north-central WMU's. In southern Ontario WMU's,Wolf/Coyote may be hunted with a small game license without limit ,all year, and do NOT require a tag. Several townships around Algonquin Provincial Park and in WMU 60,61,Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park and QEII Provincial park have hunting and trapping bans enacted in an attempt to establish a "new" Wolf/Coyote hybrid breed called the Red Wolf. Most hunters know it's ridiculous,but,given the complete fckuing morons we have running this province,it is what it is. In most Regional Municipalities of southern Ontario,the largest caliber we can use is .270 and smaller,a full list of which may be found in Ontario Hunting regulation Summary book under Small Game. They can also be found on-line www.ontario.ca/hunting. There's maybe 10 townships left in the entire province that haven't updated their firearms by-laws in the last 18 years that still have "shotgun/rimfire" regs on the books. If you plan to hunt in south western Ontario,always check local township regs before heading out.

Red wolf is geographically different beast, with a similar situation. I think you meant Eastern Wolf, or sometimes Algonquin Wolf.
 
Is a 308 win overkill for a wolf/coyote or will it work for now?

I want a 223 specifically for wolves/coyotes but i dont wanna spend money on one yet.

Thx
 
You're overthinking things. Wolves are very difficult to hunt - you'll be lucky to even see one.... The calibre of your rifle should be the least of your concerns.

I have shot many coyotes with .308's using Hornady 110 V-Max and 125 SST's... you would be surprised at how little damage was done... I have seen bigger messes using my .22/250 with 55 V-Max.

For wolves I would choose the 125 SST...

I see coyotes daily and wolves all most as much. My hunting partner had a yote in his sights both Sat. and Sun. I shot a wolf on Sat.
 
I use a 25/06 for wolf and coyote.
Coyote I'd use a 20 cal centerfire.
Wolves are bigger and tougher. A 223 will work but I prefer a 6 mm or a 257 cal. Anything for deer or bear will work for wolf. I could have shot 4 this year bear hunting. I had a 458 wm. Didn't want to scare away the bear
 
If i buy a seal in december 2016 can i use that tag(seal) in jan 2017, therefore not using up a seal/ tag for 2017?

Call it whatever you like,but, a mutt is still a mutt.

One way to see it for sure.

Many wolves sampled in Ontario have some coyote DNA in their genome now - are they really wolves, or what is the % cutoff before they are not?

I wonder what it will do to the wolf fur market if they are really all just coyote/wolf mutts?

This is a situation that will not be cleared up soon in Ontario, or in the US. The spread and success of coyotes has been changing the Canid landscape for a while.



Good luck with your hunt Tjv787!

I've yet to hunt wolves/coyotes around here, but I've caught a coyote on camera checking my place out a couple of times; it was eating deer corn once:confused:. I hear howling regularly at night, but I have not caught site of a wolf yet; my wife had one watch her from 30 ft away though:eek: Luckily, it was uneventful except that she didn't need any coffee for the rest of the day.
