If it is for damage control on preditation on farm stock it can be right now.  If it is for fur  in Wisconsin it starts when trapping season is set in fall of year, usually end of October  or first week of November.  Out west some  start first of October in  the mountains  were it gets colder earlier in fall and  animals prime up sooner.  Best to check your own states trapping regulations on when seasons open.

Most yotes in March have rubbed fur plus broken  hairs on flanks from guard hairs breaking off when they get up from thier beds in snow or just old guard hairs breaking off.   Another thing is  yotes get  wooly underfur as it gets close to spring and  most fur dressers and designers dont like working with that type of fur.  Not saying that there could be a nice pelt but majority of yotes are on the down turn in pelt quality.

My coyote lines in open areas the coyotes stay "good' longer than the lines in the brushy areas.I think running the brush really contributes to them being rubbed.

I'll add this, one of the best ways to get and keep good traping locations is to manage the animals as if the place was yours.  This applies to depredation as well as balance and fur quality.  I trap way into March, by then concentrating on a few more Toms.  I always work the coyotes hard in and around the calving pastures by this time 1 of 10 maybe worth skining.  By taking care of the coyotes my ranchers smile when they see me come and work with me...this counts for a lot.

This is a differnet sort of answer to your original question.
