Utah hunting?

SureShot_77

I'll be hunting/camping etc NW of Grouse Creek Utah in two weeks. I have access to over 3300 acres of private land, surrounded by BLM land. The coyotes there have never been called, only shot at by the owner when working cattle etc.

Being from out of state, Idaho, do I or do I not need a hunting license for coyotes?

Also, are mt. lions open now? They have many sightings of cats around the ranch I'll be hunting. They tell me they can shoot if the animal is harrasing their livestock etc. But I imagine being out of state would require both a hunting license and tag.

Any help appreciated.

THanks
 
You do not need a license for coyotes ir red fox, but you do for lions. The BLM stuff will have been airial gunned. Box Elder County does get a fair amount of pressure.

You should do great on the private and ok on the public stuff.

Good luck
 
I hunted Muleys in the area just east and slightly north of Grouse Creek for 25 years. There is a little pond up there called Lynn Reservoir. The private ground we hunted was south of the Lynn Res. Great area. We always heard yotes at night. Just be aware the area is mainly private property and the owners get really pizzed off if you cross a fence. On the deer hunts you could hear them howling at night and during the day you would see them running out in front on the ridges in front of you. I would think you should do well. Oh yea, be on the lookout for those Mt Lions in the same area, they are right, they are there.

I have access to Lynn Ranch, my brother-in-law married in so I have over 3300 acres down there all private to hunt. The reservoir is theirs too. So..I am looking forward to it.

Thanks for the info. guys.
 
Just so you know 3300 acres isn't a lot of land when calling coyotes... You'll be able to call it all in less than a day depending on the terrain. Just FYI, they did do some aerial gunning around Lynn this last year. Good luck though.
 
Well they know everyone else who owns property down there, so I pretty much have free range, especially since it all borders blm land. I am sure I'll have plenty of space to cover. It's not soley a huting trip, more of a get away trip with the family. I'll make atrip down there next year or later this year for a hunting only trip. I am sure it will be fine.
 
As I understand it, you can shoot a cat without a license if it is harrassing livestock. However, you must report it to the DWR and they will come and get it. You will not be able to keep it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I THINK that is right, better check the regs.

I got 6" of snow this morning at my house, but I dont think you will need the snow camo in 2 weeks. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
if its in idaho you need a license, very far NW of grouse creek is gonna be idaho, also keep in mind unless its clearly marked, plowed up or clearly "private" ground its likely some calling has been done already, I called some private ground a couple weeks ago in idaho, virgin territory, nothing came in, I think its a bad time of the year to call dogs
 
I had my Idaho License on Jan. 1st this year. And the area I am going is gated/locked and fenced. Not sure about posted as I've never been there. And the people that have owned the ranch since forever will be showing me all of their property via horseback/atv etc. Be a good stress relief weekend.
 
Grouse creek is one of those areas that everybody thinks they are the only one who has permision to hunt. I also have permision to hunt alot of ranches up there. I went up in october and hunted my butt off and only got two. It is hunted hard all year long plus all the ranchers up there are always shooting at them. Im not trying to discourage you just telling you to hunt smart. Good luck and keep us posted.
