That's what it means year round open season.
In my little SW Ontario world the first coyote that was shot was in 1968. We only had foxes, tons of groundhogs and jacks. The groundhogs and jacks are almost all gone. Two hard winters and the increase of the yote population over the years will reduce the deer numbers but so will the extra contolled hunting seasons and the extra tags for deer. Last year I could buy 7 deer tags and who can eat that many deer.
If you have a bounty on yotes you will have every nimrod owning a gun running into the woods claiming to be a yote hunter. Until you hunt yotes with hounds which is the most effective way in our area or push them by tracking them the same as a dog does you don't fully understand how smart they are or how hard it is to kill one.
We have too many homes, farms, hamlets and lots of posted property that is owned by people that don't want any animal killed. A bounty may just give you more "No" for hunting permission because the landowner may want to cash in on this new form of income? Everyone that hunts here in SW Ontario should just go out this winter and hunt yotes every day they can and then after the winter hunt lets talk about how a bounty will reduce yote numbers.

I sent an email to my councillor (who's always bugging the MNR to do something about reducing the yote pop in Ottawa south) with regards to the bounties offered in Sask and out east.
If they offer a bounty, I think it'd help. I know I myself would go shoot some.
How bout a case of beer per coyote?! I'll take a week off to go shoot them!!

I was in Meaford the other night and heard a pack of coyotes yapping and howling in the distance. Made me feel like I was back in Alberta again.
they make the Base Measford their home, been there for years, pretty much why the ATC coat of arms bears howling coyote
got to post an add in local farmer's store, would love to make some use of my guns this winter
Deer numbers in my area are down for sure. Too many years of extra tags, controlled late season hunts where gangs fill all their tags with no thought of conservation, the two recent very tough winters, and the rising coyote population have made it very difficult for the deer herds to flourish.
I am not sure a bounty would work, to be honest. I dont think there is enough money available to enstate such a program, and the bounty would likely be too low a cash amount to really make it a viable means of income, especially for out of work middle age hunters who should be pounding the pavement looking for a real job.
I love to hunt coyotes, but it is not a cheap activity. Your current deer rifle will likely be more than sufficient, but you will need to add some calls, and for most guys that is a mouth blown call because who can really afford a FoxPro? Then you need some winter camo, a day off work, and permission from the missus to get out of the "honey do" list.

We used to have a bounty for coyotes in my township. 5$ for pair of ears. Then a council member noted that there were a lot of coyotes in our area, hundreds actually!
Seems it was hard to tell which county they were from so..... bounty stopped! JITC

Deer numbers are definitely down in my part of Southern Ontario and coyote numbers are up. We had a sharp increase in deer four years ago following a couple of soft winters and a mange outbreak that reduced the coyote population. Now that the coyotes are thriving again combined with a couple of hard winters the deer population is smaller.
Putting a bounty on coyotes probably wouldn't have much impact on their population and but could lead to dogs being shot by mistake, illegal trapping and poison bait. This would add to the stress between hunters and landowners.
I don't actively hunt coyotes but will shoot any that come to close to the house, barn or horse paddocks.

Cotrary to popular belief I havent found to many beef/dairy farmers around meaford that care about the coyotes. In fact, a few orchards/farms I hunt/trap dont want the coyotes touched. They keep the deer/turkeys and rabbits out of thier crops. Some of the apple growers have cull permits for deer, so they definitely dont want you shooting coyotes.
The only one I have actually had request me take out the coyotes is one farmer who has quite a few sheep.
Pardon my ignorance, but I'm only accustomer to hunting for food. I've never hear od recipies for yotes. Nor have I heard that they are good eating.
What would I do with yotes once I've bagged them? Can't sell pelts, heard you don't eat them. What do you do? I though it was illegal to waste meat when hunting, so all the coyote hunters here please pipe up about what you do with them. If you do eat them; any food safety and recipie advice? Aren't yotes bad for mange and rabies and the like? How does that impact what you can do?
I would like to hunt yotes when I get home, but I'm clueless.

I pelt them out and send them to auction to sell. Ontario yotes will sell, but dont start planning your early retirement.
If you want to eat a yote, knock yourself out but its not going to be good.
Or throw them in the farmers dead/manure pile............

If you plan on eating coyotes make sure you cook them well so the long white nooooodles stop moving. As for eating what you kill I hope that includes mice and rats and I hope your not including trappers to eat what they kill?
Tree nursery owners do not want yotes killed just the deer and rabbits.

So it is legal in Ontario for me to shoot yotes and just chuck them? What about wastage laws? Do I have to skin them then chuck them? Where do I sell the pelts?
I do not hunt mice and rats. I do not need a small game license if I wanna get rid of vermin.
I am not a trapper. I am a hunter.
According to an article appearing in Sentier Chasse et Peche, which was some time ago, the first sightings of coyotes in Quebec date back to 1956. They had to pass through Ontario to get here and here they are. This hunting season a friend spotted one and you could hear them howl at night. There are lots of coyotes around Mirabel. Some guys I know who worked at the airport saw lots of them.
Urban pest? A few years back people in Toronto were complaining about coyotes in High Park!

Thought after I posted it that I should have qualified it to my little slice of paradise that has no closed season for the animal in discussion.
Nice response though buddy.
Ya sure what ever.. admit you f-ed up. You said there is no season in Ontario
I jumped on you not because I am trying to be a troll, but because you should not be giving advice if you do not know what you are talking about. Because new hunters come in here to seek advice and gain knowledge.
I do highly recommend reading the hunting regs.
