What are the Out of State Laws for hunting coyotes in Kansas??? We are coming in from nebraska [we live close to the state line] not much of A drive but still another state. I have checked the kansas hunting regs but did not have any luck finding the info I wanted. Any help is appreciated! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
Small game license required to shoot them. Non-res license is $72.15. In KS you are allowed to shoot coyotes from the vehicle.
 
I Already have pheasant license, will that cover predators?
I'm planning two trips out there this year but haven't taken the time to do the research.
 
Glenn, the ordinary hunting license for birds will cover coyotes as well. (I might stress to keep any carcasses conceiled from public view, as it will cost a fine otherwise. I don't know how that would pertain to pelts only, though.)
BUT, NOT any other furbearer. For something like bobcats, you would need to also purchase a Furharvester's License...& if born after, I believe, July 1, 1966, you would need to pass a Furharveter's Course prior to obtaining that license.
 
thanks 54,All I need is coyotes the guys I'll be hunting with are locals and they want to kill a cat so I'll let them do the shooting on anything other than coyotes.
 
taken from kdwp web site,i dont think you can shoot from a vehicle legally unless like stated below, i think you can pursue coyotes to turn out dogs on them, a friend of mine who knows a game warden said he told him you must have atleast one foot firmly planted on the ground to shoot at an animal

Your quote, below, states the exception. Read the words in RED

(edit) as a heads up, coons are considered a furbearer in KS.

i personally would not gamble my pay check on shooting from a vehicle, besides the wear and tear chasing them, price of gas, i have no problem with dog hunting,some people like to do it others dont, i just think personally it is more of a challenge to get them to come to you, besides here were i live, a farmer or rancher catches you tresspassing or tearing thru a wheat field or pasture fence /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif, it pretty well ruins it for everyone
 
Of course you can't shoot a coyote from any public roadway in Kansas. But if you want to pot one on private land while cruising around checking cattle that's OK as long as the truck is sitting on the same private land. And no artificial light at night unless you have special permission from the landowner and a letter of such. Really isn't worth the bother.

Absolutely, no comparison! However, the question was can you? And the answer is yes.
 
might want to check out the regulation on non-resident bobcat hunting at kansas dept of wildlife and parks web site under furbearers/regulations, that is if you are going to try and shoot a bobcat while here, this is the response from kdwp on coyote hunting with a vehicle,


Motor vehicles and radios in vehicles may be used to hunt coyotes only. A hunting license is required to hunt them. Have a nice day.
