Got permission to hunt coyotes on more ground
« on: December 07, 2012, 01:56:01 AM »
I was talking to a customer at my work last week about how bad the deer season has went for both of us and I mentioned that it's about time to start callin coyotes. Well he said " give me a call because I have so damn many running around my place it's scary". He gave me his phone number and told me to call him and make arrangements to come out and look over his property. A friend and me are going out deer hunting in hes area tomorrow and when we get done we're heading to his place to check it out.
The customer was in yesterday again and told me he had seven of them in his barn yard that chased his German shepard up onto his porch. He managed to grab his .22 and shoot one but they all ran off. He said they have been howling almost every morning when he leaves for work.
Can't wait to try out my Foxpro Wildfire i picked up a while back. Good thing the wife was gone last night because I sat in the living room setting the calls up and it was pretty loud. ;D

Lucky Dawg, hard to get permission anymore. I've been meaning to get down by Huntington lately ;D  Make sure you outsmart them and don't educate them before you kill some. Good Luck!

I live in NE Kansas and that is the one thing that I can't remember being turned down for.  They are thick.

I think I am getting a Fox pro for Christmas. ;D


I live in the country and besides my 320 acres the surrounding neighbors have all given me permission so I have around 1,200+ acres to use. Have plenty of coyotes.

Sounds like a really good start Randy... one that opens up a lot of possibilities for you.   If it were me I'd build on it from the first hunt.
 
I never had any problem getting more private property than I could hunt all my life, nor an annual ADC contract for each of them that was automatically renewed each year.   The predator/varmint hunters best advertising is earned word of mouth, and in a locality can net you every farm/ranch in an area and their land leases.  Also makes them available to you for all your other hunting/fishing, etc most of the time.   I never charged a LO anything for the service, never crossed any lines drawn in the sand by them, saved them lost money in stock, crops, poison costs with its collateral damage, and was charged nothing for the use of any private land ever.   I had business cards and very simple contracts I printed myself signed by the LO, they were always good enough if anybody ever questioned my being there day or night, and a very solid foot in the door with any new LO I approached myself.   I'd get one in an area and then knock of the door of all others, and usually get all of them if they didn't already have hired help for it.   Even some of those I replaced the hired help at when the word got around at the local coop, etc.   Earn it with unquestionable responsibility, reliability and honesty and you'll never want for a place to hunt again unless you move far away (like I did a few times and had to start over).
 
 
Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

Back in the 50s and 60s there were several groups of coyote hunters in our area that used dogs and trucks to chase down coyotes. They would run through properties without permission, run down fences (some repaired them others did not). In the late 50s my father witnessed two aircraft accidents due to chasing coyotes, on fool tried to turn with a coyote in a Cessna at extremely low altitude and caught a wingtip in the ground and another was flipped over on its back when the landing gear caught the top of a hedge row. It was quite awhile before most land owners would allow any further coyote hunting on their properties and some shot the hunters dogs if they caught them crossing their properties.

I have set goals and worked for what I have today but yes, have also been very blessed that it has all worked out so far.

ladobe,
I went to his house on Wed night and we had a good talk about coyotes and hunting in general. He is a hunter too but doesn't take time for the coyotes so he gave me and my buddy permission to go. We talked about location, wind, shooting angles etxc to be sure it would be safe to shoot where they usually come from. There are other houses around and he told me the neighbors are ok with shooting the coyotes too so I may pick up more area yet.
Going out there Sat morning and do some calling. ;D
