Hey guys, just a few questions on hunting c'yotes in Ontario.

The regs say that you can hunt 'em with a max caliber of .275, so does this mean I can hunt with a 12ga?

I didn't see anything in the regs about night hunting restrictions, but I just want to be sure that it's legal?

Where can I sell the pelts off these dogs and how much would they generally go for?

How should the pelts be prepped for sale?


Thanks

Where does it say "no night hunting in Ontario"? I'm looking through the regulations and I don't see any broad statement about firearms having to be cased 1/2 after sunset until 1/2 before sunrise. It does say that for a few specific animals however.
 
Pelts will be worthless right now (spring/summer coat is not good garment fur). Even in top winter form, they wont be worth much full of bullet holes. Need to trap them to get top dollar. You can sell them at auction at one of the fur houses ~ NAFA or FHA

With the exception of coon hunting (which you must be specially licensed to do, you cant hunt at night in ON). Page 5 of this PDF or page 23 of the actual booklet

Before hunting, check local sunrise-sunset times. You may only
hunt from half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sun
-
set (exceptions: night raccoon, spring wild turkey, and in some
Wildlife Management Units [WMU], pheasant). If you are in an
area usually inhabited by wildlife, during the period from half an
hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise you must unload
and encase any firearms (including air gun, pellet gun, bow or
crossbow) in your possession

I don't have the Regulation summary with me now but just remember that it's a SUMMARY of the regulations. I recommand you read the full Act online and use a keywork search for "night".

Thats perfect, thanks

as for the trapping, is that a special license other than the hunting license?
 
From Feb 22 2013 NAFA

Coyotes sold exceptionally well with Italy, Canada and China competing aggressively for all sections. Premiums were paid throughout for heavier, better quality Westerns, which averaged $93.98 with the Top Lot sold for $1,400.00.

Feb of 2012 was about $21-$51
 
The way prices are now hunting coyotes for the purpose of selling fur is a waste of time. Plus a .22/250, .243, 6mm, .25/06 etc. is very destructive on the hide. Most in my area snare them in winter when the fur is prime. A lot of work to skin and flesh and dry a pelt for around $20 apiece on average. However I encourage everyone to kill as many as possible. They are vermin, destructive of deer and small game and are not native to my part of Canada. DNA testing has revealed wolf DNA as well as coyote in New Brunswick which explains our coyotes penchant for running in extended family groups and growing much larger than western coyotes( 50-70 lbs. for a large male.)

I agree, but its good practice both hunting and skinning and if you save up the skins it may pay for some ammo, which doesn't hurt.

In the Ontario hunting regulations, and in the hunting course you would have taken to get your hunting license.
