will be in the u.p. the 1st thru the 4th and was wondering what the regulations for coyote hunting are. will be hunting boars at bear mountain and after we get the dirty deed of shooting the beast done, I'd like to do some coyote hunting.
can you use e-callers.
can you hunt after dark.
can you use lights.
is there a clip size max. or can i use twenty shot clips.
does anyone have a web address for the game departmnent.
 
cracker, here the link to the MI DNR:
http://www.michigan.gov/dnr

E-callers are legal to use, as are lights at night. There are restrictions on using the lights though. Semi-auto centerfires can only have 5 in the magazine, plus one in the chamber. This also applies to any rifle used for hunting. Rimfires are exempt from this. Rimfires/shotguns are the only weapons legal at night. MI VHNTR
 
As you're from Wis. I don't believe you can hunt coyote in Mi. I think non-residents need a fur harvesters license and Mi., Wis., Minn.,Dakotas are part of the resiprical (spelling?) laws on that area. Let me know if I'm wrong.
 
Michigan requires non residents to have a fur harvester to hunt coyote in mich. residents can hunt with a small game so WI.MN.ND.SD.and Ontario residents cannot hunt them in MI. as we cannot purchas a fur harvester or equivalent license there.
Anybody know the reasoning behind this law??

just got off the phone with the game department and it seems that i cant shoot fur dogs in michigan /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif . the boys from florida that are going can shoot them as they can buy a license, guess i'll have to call for them or spend my time drinking beer after slaying the beast. we need to change this law and the warden i talked to agreed. it seems because wisconsin dont let michigan people hunt that michigan won't let people from wisconsin hunt. sounds to me like a couple of kids who won't let each other play on their playground. the warden didn't know who "started it" but thats whats on the books so we have to live with it.
so you guys don't need to worry i wont be able to come up there and shoot all you're song dogs /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Cracker..
can you drop me an email
garcekr@dhfs.state.wi.us

Im not too far from you and just getting a good start in calling. Wouldnt mind inviting ya up this way some time. Can supply some cold ones when we are through. Got lot of permission and alot of coyotes up here. I would really like to form some new friendships in this sport around here. I had one fella come up yesterday, got on alot of tracks but was pretty windy, didnt get anything a coming. He was a good guy and is welcome up here anytime.
 
It's a fair law. If we can't hunt coyotes in Wiscosin.. Why should you be allowed to hunt coyotes in Michigan. If our two states would get together and allow us to hunt there, and you to hunt here that would be great.
 
I live here in Indiana but owm a hobby farm in S/W Mich.My In. hunting manual is about 10 pages long is simple to understand everything is pretty much cut and dried. Now lets look at the Mi. hunting and fishing encyclopedias.Every year you best read it carefully,hire an attorney to explain the verbage, then hope when the CO knows the law when he runs into you.Pitiful at best.The shame is i can't vote up there,but they are happy to take my tax money.I love Mi. I was born there, but theMDNR is an overstuffed big buisness That has lost touch with reality. C.D.

couldn't agree with you more, after calling the dnr the person that answered couldnt give me an answer to if i could hunt. he talked to a warden in the back ground and they weren't sure had to call me back and then stated that as far as they could tell i coundn't buy a license, but they were not one hundred percent sure. if the wardens don't know the laws how are we to know them.
