Coyote hunting
Salt lake city, UT 84119 - Dec 22, 2009
I have a ranch that has tons of coyotes in west box elder county, lately they've been getting pretty close to my calves and I would be willing to let the right person hunt them. Whoever hunts it, would have to be willing to let me and 1 or 2 more others hunt with them, we will dress in the proper clothing. you would be able to hunt approx 27,000 acres of private land in box elder and approx 17,000 acres in carbon county and approx 4,000 acres in tooele county. I will only be answering this ad through emails. So contact me and tell me a little bit about yourself and I will let you know what I decide

I'd love to apply for the job, but as I've never shot a coyote I doubt I'm the guy he's looking for.
 
Someones going to be a lucky hunter.!

.. HURRY YOU UTAH BOYS
 
Just got an email from the rancher saying he got his man from the forum here. Whoever it is, be sure to keep us posted on how it goes!
 
Who ever the guy was that was so lucky.
I bet he won't tell you that he also had to pay the rancher
$175.00 to hunt on his land .
A friend of mine talked to the rancher and that is what he really wanted was some money.
 
figures...but that is not a bad lease cost to hunt that much land. unless it's a one shot deal then i would say "bad rancher". kinda false advertising there!

That is the way things have become here. Landowners have found they can make money charging to hunt. Even if it is to help them.



The rancher is probably going to get them to show how it is done and then not let them back in.

I don't see anything nefarious at all. My take is that the rancher wants to be able to take care of the coyotes with his own crew but needs somebody to mentor him. It's a win win for the hunter and the rancher.

If he just wanted hunters to pay him, he wouldn't say it was free in the ad. He could very simply name a price and probably get a huge response. That would be a great idea, but I hear some ranchers aren't happy with how hunters treat there property, and it can cost a lot of money if one gate gets opened, or gets closed when it wasn't supposed to be. They probably figure coyotes do less damage to the bottom line. What he should do is once he gets some training, start selling some guided hunts. Another win win.

By the way, when I saw the ad, I posted it here and sent the rancher an email telling him to check this place out because there were a lot of people here with good experience and good attitudes. Don't go proving me wrong on that latter part.

I dont see the win win except for the land owner. I wont pay for a guided coyote hunt. I can do it on my own. I wont pay to take care of someones problem coyotes either. Unfortunatley that is what hunting is becoming in this state.
 
Yeah, reb8600, I'm not saying it would be the thing to do for someone as experienced as yourself, but there may be enough Utah hunters who don't know what they're doing or where to go that are willing and able to pay for it to make it worth the rancher's while. It is entirely possible both parties could be happy with the arrangement.

And if it gets more newbies off public land and gets them better trained, that might even be considered a win for you to.

I'm not experienced, but I wouldn't pay for a guided hunt either. Just somehow not as appealing to me. But lots of people pay for guided hunts if they think it assures them a better chance of success. I haven't seen it as much with coyote hunting. But doesn't mean there isn't a market for it.
