Coyote hunting opportunity

[TedNugent]

So I had a good chat with a gal I met at work today, and she was telling me about the coyote problem she has on her Dad's farm not far from where I live.


So, i may just take her up on a visit and get a chance to do some shooting at the very least.
Any tips on how to have success on bagging a few coyotes?
Are you allowed to bait them? Read another thread about a gadget that calls them using fox sounds, is that something I should look into?
Any advice appreciated.
I'd be using my .308 ruger with a 6-24 Bushnell on it with 168 gr. Amax bullets.

Really need to know where you are to help.

 

[TedNugent]

Their farm is near Acton, Ontario. I don't know what the area looks like yet, am sure it's pasture and treed acreage.

Yeah, you need to know where you are before we can properly inform you. For instance where I live in southern Ontario the .308 is illegal to hunt with (.275 max.) and in northern Ontario you will need a tag and are limited to how many you can shoot.

Is she hot?

 

[ff33]

Opps you beat me to it. Better check the regs as I believe you cannot use any caliber larger then .275 in that area.

 

[ff33]

Any of the following are good choices, .204 ruger, .223 rem, .22-250, .243 and other centre fire calibers of roughly the same size

I use .223 from my savage axis for yotes in wmu87

If you know anyone with a Foxpro see if you can borrow it

no need for tags around Acton but I do belive caliber restrictions apply, good luck

If they're "problem" coyotes, a 12ga throwing buck shot might be the ticket too...

 

[Rascal]

.308 is not allowed in that area

You tube is a good place for a bunch of tips

 

[TedNugent]

Thanks all,

looks like I need a .204 ruger or a nice .270. Damn, wasn't counting on needing another calibre.

Heresy, u need all the guns u can get

A person hunting small game may not carry or use a rifle
of greater calibre than a .275-calibre rifle, except a muzzle-
loading gun, in the geographic areas of Brant, Chatham-Kent,
Durham, Elgin, Essex, Haldimand, Halton, Hamilton, Huron,
Lambton, Middlesex, Niagara, Norfolk, Northumberland,
Oxford, Peel, Perth, Toronto, Waterloo, Wellington or York.

Late season try hanging dog food cans off trees. I going to try it this year it this year.

Can't use 308. Stay with .223 or go for 22-250 if you can. 270 is the biggest caliber you can use in Ontario.

Need any help, will come. Not far from where we shoot. Start after the deer season !

Correct me if I am wrong....but is this fact? I know the guys in the GTA forget that Ontario extends beyond their borders....

From my interpretation, this is only the case in these areas:
