Anybody south of the Metro has coyote problems ?


Recommended Posts

Everytime I talk to some landowner about hunting coyotes they all mention to come to their place, they have many.

If anybody south of the Metro Area has any problem with 'yotes and wants hunters to try to get rid of them, let us know.

All we ask is permission to hunt your land, with or without callers, sometimes at night, and a little "insight" where you had sightings, damage or just heard of them.

None of us will hunt anything else (what else can you hunt with an AR-15) and bother any hunting party.

I, personally, will be starting my season right after deer-gun has been started or closed.

Valv....isn't an AR-15 a .223 centerfire? Correct me if I'm wrong, which I'am about 50% of the time....which classifies me as a trouble maker grin.gif but I thought that centerfire rounds, other then shotgun shells couldn't be used south of a line that starts up near Cambridge? North zone and south zone?

Soooo, in essence it would be safe to say that one could hunt varmits in southern Minn. with and ought 6, or a 7mm?

I know they don't do that...I'm just pretty well caught up on my work and I don't have anything to do today except a little needle work! grin.gif

You can also drive nails with a jackhammer, but why would you? Just because it's legal dosen't mean that everyone does it that way.

John, did you make it home allright with the trailer ?

Anyway I believe you can hunt them with anything you want, if you meed the fur you will be careful about shot placement and caliber.

Coyote/varmint hunters not only use AR-15, most popular are 22-250, 204, 243, and the 17hmr.

I had a 25-06 once and loved it.

I was sighting my gun at the range my "bench neighbor" was sighting a .338 super mag. he was going mule deer hunting in Wyoming, I thought it was a little eccessive.... shocked.gif

Val, the trailer and I made it home just fine. It was pleasure doing business with you and thanks for the tip on the recipe, but I forgot how much heavy cream you used. Was it a quart (4 cups)?

When I lived in North Dakota my hunting buddy used to shoot a .338 for whitetails and I used a 300 Winn Mag. Yes, at under 200 yards they where very excessive but for those "reach out and touch them" shots that you get on the plains they are very tough to beat.

John, it was a pleasure to finally meet you.

Anyway you need 1/2 quart of heavy cream or Half & Half.

Thanks, I'm going to make it sometime this week. My favorite dish and I haven't been able to have a good serving since I left Sicily, and that was about 15 years ago!

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
