Last year I ran into a Navajo Nation Officer while coyote hunting. I was told that coyotes could not be hunted during Big Game Seasons. I pulled out the proclimation and showed him that my coyote hunting was not during any big game season. November 23rd. No Big Game hunts during that time. He countered with the Navajo Nation Mountain Lion Big Game Hunt which is October 1st thru March 31st for ALL UNITS on the Navajo Reservation, hence, no coyote hunting without a Lion Tag!
Can you imagine my shock and suprise? I am grateful to the officer for not confiscating my equipment and for not citing me, giving me a warning, which I promptly "left the reservation".
I have done my research and sure as heck, NO COYOTE HUNTING during BIG GAME SEASONS on the Reservation. A call to the Director confirmed that this includes Mt Lion Season.
So to clarify my statements, Navajo Nation Coyote Hunting is only allowed from April 1st to August 31st each year unless you are in possesion of a Big Game License.
