From the Wyoming ORV Law Handbook

It is unlawful to molest, stir up, rally or drive in any manner, any game animals or game birds with a motorized vehicle.

If you want to argue that the coyote is not a game animal, fine, I'll turn your unethical arse in as cruelty to animals.

Bob,
Does this mean harpoon'em is out too???

499 coyotes in one year?! Wow!

A coyote is not considered a game animal in Wyoming. So the law of not chasing game animals with a motor vehicle doesn't apply. Many people out west use snow machines to control coyote populations, it isn't a big deal. What's the difference between that and goverment trappers hunting them from airplanes? I don't think turning somebody in for cruelty to animals because they were hunting coyotes with snowmobiles would fly in Wyoming. Porbably get some get some good laughs though . I respect the coyote as one of the most intelligent animals. They are my favorite animal but they need to be controlled, for the good of other wildlife and to protect ranchers livestock.

Coyote buster what's up with the all caps messages? All caps is considered yelling on the web.

Hey coyote killer thanks for the support about the snowmobile hunting deal. I didn't know that all caps ment that i was yelling thanks.

Hey stevem we run up on them and shoot them with a shotgun. Is it hard to harpoon them?

Hi Buster

sounds more like predator control. Do you pelt them out?

AK Wdsmn

Man you guys oughta be puttin up that fur, Heavy westerns are way up this year! $30-$60. check the N.A.F.A feb sell report.

coyote buster--when you say, we run up on them and shoot them with a shotgun. do you mean you run the snowmobile track on top of them to hold them down and then shotgun them? If you do that, why waste the shotgun shell? Why don't you take a baseball bat and bean them???

Snowmobiling coyotes is not my style. I realize it is legal and all where you are, but I would much rather call them in.

If they need to be controlled for lixestock and other animals sake then why don't you go head to head with them and see who comes out on top. In my books running them down with sleds takes all the sport out of it. If your doing it just to keep the population down then let someone come in and call them! I have seen people try to chase a fox before and i would put my calling abilities and a partners for the day up against two sleds any time of the year, as far as "controlling" them
Just my two cents, someone took chase to a coyote that was coming to my call one time and if i would have caught the SOB i would have put a 22-250 shell right threw the engine on that pretty little maching of his.

ANYONE HUNT COYOTES WITH SNOWMOBILES thats not hunting that is just killing.

Hey guys when i say we run up on them i mean that we run up behind them or be side them not on top of them!!!!! Whoever it was that said that they watched a person chase a fox that isnt like chasing a coyote foxes duck and dive alot more than coyotes. Yes we are skining and selling the furs we don't just hunt from the machines we trap and call and also the snowmobiling must just be a young mans thing i'm only 16 my dad would rather call one in. Whoever it was that said that it wasn't a hunt thats not true it is a hunt it isn't as easy as it sounds. We have to hunt alot to control them on tha ranch it's 100,000 acers. we run 1000 head of cows and 800 head of sheep so we have to keep them trimed down a bit.

nd coyote killer--come on don't hold back, let loose and go ahead and tell us how you really feel about running down those coyotes with a snowmobile!!!

How have you been doing in the coyote calling contests? I suppose you are studying hard for your mid-term tests now???? Good luck.

I'm very confident you dont want to get NDKC started on people snowmobiling coyotes down. I was with one time when we spotted a fox only to see it being chased by some jerk on a 4 wheeler. He was upset! Oh yeah, chasing them on snowmobiles isnt sport, i dont care how hard it is. Go buy some calls and learn some tips from the guys on the board about how to call them in. You might find out that its 20 times more fun than the idea you are using right now.
