Ontario Coyote Regs

- Start date
If you are referring to me, I never said they had no value.
I said find a local trapper and give them to him. Or if they are shot to ####, which some varmint rifles do, get rid of them. I coyote hide with a big friggen hole in it, does not have much value.
So guys that shoot varmints need to get their heads checked???
Ummm ya ok....
Coyote pelts shot full of holes, pelts that are mangy, pelts not skinned just the best, etc are not going to be worth too much.
Not sure which auction you are talking about but I am not aware of any in Ontario anymore.
We dont shoot coyotes for S&G, as you suggest, we shoot them because they kill sheep, kill cattle, kill deer, kill turkeys, pheasant and other ground nesting birds, and in SW Ont are such a pest they kill household pets let out for a whizz at night...they have backed children up against their front porches, etc. The farm next to me has had them right in the barnyard after young animals.
There are way too many of them in SW Ont. Period. Thats why there is an open season and no limit on them
You may continue with your farting, since you list it as your "interest"
I will guess which body oriface the gas is escaping from.

Well Bubba... since I am so stupid please enlighten me as to what exactly I am supposed to do when I shoot a coyote and it has a very small entrance hole in it with no exit?.... do you suggest I plug it a few more times so I can abandon it?... or maybe do a half ass job of skinning it so it has "no commercial value"..... going rates for yote are pretty high last I checked....
I give mine to a trader but that is besides the fact... you telling folks they can abandon their kills as a general rule is misleading
Any trapper in your area will gladly take a yote if it is in decent shape. Doesn't cost him a thing and it's a lot easier than trying to snare the buggers.
If the trapper says it's no good then, well, it's likely no good.
This ain't rocket science.

To many urbanite type PETAs types on this site

I think we should be able to abandon them... They are vermin.... I am far from an urbanite peta type...
That being said I love hunting and would hate to see me or anyone else. Loose thwir hunting rights because someone told them it was legal to abandon a good pelt when it is not...
What are yote furs going for these days? Last winter there was talk of them not even selling if they weren't absolutely perfect, and even the perfect ones were so cheap that it wasn't worth sending them to auction. Just wondering what you saw them go for and where.
I see where you are going... and I absolutely agree....
That being said, do we want to leave it in the CO's hands to determine what is "commercially valuable".... if something is worth 1 cent you could argue it has a commercial value... have seen to many times people getting buitten by these vague laws.... protect yourselves and eachother
Just checked the Ontario fur harvesters auction site the results are not very impressive. January auction 50% of easterns coyotes sold avg. $31.54 top price $44.00. March auction a little better 60% sold avg. $51.16 top price $93.13. May auction 71% sold avg. $28.28 top price $114.60. For the June auction it says mainly withdrawn. I can only assume that this means that not enough were sold to post results. The top price was probably for western coyotes as there avg. price was higher than the eastern coyotes. Talking to someone I have hunted coyotes with in the past said that last year they probably left 25% in the field because of mange.
In other words, the ones with mange are worth nothing... others have "commercial value" and an overzealous CO can get you in trouble if you abandon them....
Consider the commercial value of a $30 (max price) pelt, now subtract fuel, supplies, labour to skin etc...that would leave you about $10 in the hole...how much commercial value is that!
So why would you abandon one where it would be found??? if a CO even cared!
not exactly off topic but in a farming area that is shotgun only for deer, I assume because of the number of farms in the area what firearm is permitted for coyote? Rifle/shotgun?
I talking area 63.
Is there anyone in the Alexandria area processing the pelts?

I am near Alexandria.... but the guy I bring them to is west of me... so far from you.... Are you hunting in 63 or ALexandria?..... I will give you the regs...
Like Hawkesbury area?.... are you sure you are in 63?.... Just asking because Alexandria is 65....
Edit: As far as the regs for both, I looked them up and neither one of those restrict what firearm you can use for yotes..... you can use whatever non restricted you want legally.....

63/65?
I'm sure you are correct with the zone number 65. I'm new to the area and its easy to make a mistake with the zone numbers. Alexandria is very, very close, I'm in the Alexandria area concession roads
Thanks for the look up. As soon as the registry is scrapped its off to Ontario to buy a 223.
BTW
Any good gun shops in the area or am I better off just to head on over to Ottawa?
( With this registry bulls**t in Quebec I won't be buying around here anymore.)
In Ottawa you have LeBaron and SAIL to buy from.... small gun shop in Cornwall but not very good.... I woudl stick with the major two....
Stittsville Shooting Ranges also sell firearms. They have a decent selection. Also, That Hunting and Fishing Store, in Richmond.
Stay away from Sports Action, all of my encounters with them they have been total douche bags and their prices are high.
