Looking for everyones opinion on the best predator hunting state in the US. Gotta decide where I'm going to move after the summer. Here is the catch. There has to be snow and it's gotta be Midwest or further west. And Alaska is out. Just looking for your opinions. Montana, Wyoming, etc????

Mahamari, Don't look like anyone wants to say. I don't blame them either, it could get all shot up, but I'll tell you anyways lol.

Of all the lower 48 Texas probably has the most to pick from, except most of Texas is pvt.

#2 would be southern Arizona where the coyotes are so thick you'd burn your barrel off in an hr of shooting, the bad part is you can't hunt there anymore.

#3 would have been Nevada, but all the public land for the most part has been under fire by predator hunters from all over the world.

So I guess you are on your own like the rest of us, looking for those glory holes....Good Luck.
 
Mahamari,

Perhaps Nebraska /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif...or Western Marshall county /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif
 
Hmmm, some very helpful info. I guess basically coyotes are extinct and no more people are wanted from out of state anywhere. Good to know. Makes Iowa sound great in comparison. Coyotes are around just tougher to hunt but any farmer will let you on to hunt them. That is of course unless your from out of state.

ANYPLACE is a good place if you are blowing a Demon /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
Mahamari,

Hang around one more winter. You'll end up living in Council Bluffs. So ya can hunt Ia & Ne /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. BTW, Creston, Ia has a boatload of 'em. Spoke with an ole boy down there a couple of yrs ago. He said, "We got 90 coyotes, last winter with our hounds" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif. I hunted one time with them, many moons ago. I arrived around 0900. They already had 9 coyotes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif.

10-4 Kirby, I suppose I should stick around atleast one more winter and try and squeeze a bit more knowledge out of ya before I take off for the great unknown. Just thought I'd see what everyone's opinion was on the western states for predators but don't think anyone wants to invite more predator hunters into their country. DOn't think I made the question clear anyway. By "there must be snow" I meant atleast knee deep snow most of the winter. Otherwise it's just no fun, plus that would totally defeat me hooking my oxygen tank up to a sled. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif

All the coyotes in Montana immigrated (illegally) to Mexico. They been doin' it by the thousands. None left to hunt. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Man that sucks. Oh well, I'm still planning on coming out there as Montana is my first choice. Still lots of other game to kil out there and I'lol try for some coyotes too. If I happen to bag one I'll have to call up a few hundred thousand Iowans and have them move out there with me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

mahamari come on out to Montana lots of critters to call and hunt. Got badger, black bears, yotes, red fox, mt lion, coon, bobcats, wolverine. Hopefully they get the grizzly and wolf managment systems enacted so we can hunt the big bears and over grown coyotes. Plus got lots of big game whitetail, mule deer, elk, moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, antelope. OOO and who can forget the prairie dog:D
 
That is a grate question but a hard one to answer
I have hunted then in many places like south Texas on 100,000 acres ranch were I thought I was the best caller in the world that’s how many I was knocking down.

But its not my favored place to call.
My home state of PA is the best state for hunting them
(not the best place for harvesting them)
I have harvested hundreds of coyote but in my 3o years of hunting I only got 6 in PA and I hunt a lot. I also get close a lot , and get busted a lot and my hart really pumps a lot.
I see sign out turkey hunting and stay awake at night thinking of the set ups I going to make were I seen the sign. sometimes I try the crazy things to hunt them. like making mock trails and tracks with old coyote pawls and sent trying to get the area dog made and then come back in 2or 3 days and challenge bark them
thinking he would put 2 and 2 together. but its yet to work
but I try and I will try anything.
Its not that I can't call but a coyote in PA are the same as in any state but we have so few that that make them a different dog to hunt.

well I guess I trying to say the I just like the facted that
they test me so much .
and like some one once sad

( to fail so much only set you up for a grater success )
if you get my drift.
yep I try to get out west to recharge my batteries and to show my self that it not me, because our coyote will humble ya.

Ronald, where I'm talking about in Southern Arizona was huntable many years ago, but no more. The numbers of coyotes taken from there was on heard of by predator callers then and now. Much of Southern Arizona can be hunted, find the place you can't hunt and you'll know the place I'm talking about.

greg223, if you ever hunted predators the other side of the border you'd be surprised that you are probably right. Predators don't get hunted down there much, except for a few crazy gringos that have big ----s and lots of money.
 
I remember reading about guys hunting the Indian Res. land back in the day and calling in groups of coyotes. I think it was guys like Del Western, George Oakley and such.
 
I seem to recall something about a bunch a folks coming to these parts from Iowa, and THEY NEVER LEFT! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I'm starting to think the smart ones backtracked about 100 miles or so, though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

One thing's for sure, those illegal immigrant coyotes from MT must of stopped off and picked up their cousins on the way to Ol' Mexico. Took all the prarie dogs too. For snacks, I guess. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
