Minnesota doesn't allow NFA firearms or suppressors if I'm not mistaken.

Ya know, I usually just read and take in topics like this one and never comment, but Ive heard enough on here and at work now I gotta say something! The state of N.d. has two senators that are apparently retarded, and have presented senate bill no.1454 and 2224! basically saying they want the g&f to pay A bounty of $100.00 per coyote for 2000 coyotes!(This in my mind will cause the same effect as the S.D. law!) first of all bounty's don't work(Ask the Canadians,please correct me if I am wrong!), second of all If I had cattle (which I don't!) I would rather see state trappers and A.D.C men take care of the problem with traps, M44"s and aerial shooting, than Joe Blow flying across the prairie like Evil Knevil and hurting or killing themselves or someone else! Not to mention completely unethical to any one that calls themselves A hunter! Mother nature will even this out were already seeing mange in the state! nature will equalize the situation without running coyotes with sleds! And to the guys that say they NEED A snowmobile to drive to where they want to hunt "STRAP ON A PAIR OF SNOWSHOES N GROW A PAIR!(
I don't mean grow A pair of snowshoe!) Thousands of us in the upper Midwest do, that's called REAL HUNTING!!! I.m.h.o!

I'm with Slayer on this one. I don't own a snowmobile but to each their own. A few weekends ago we had some guy whining we were shooting coyotes in "his area". It was public land. WOW I guess I didn't know that thay were his coyotes. He also said he didn't think using hounds was sporting. Heck his group is one of the snowmobile groups. We just let his blather go in one ear and out the other. I aint callingno one in for coyote hunting.

anybody up there run stags or greyhounds up there? do you all feel the same way about them as the sleds? if they were in your hunting area (with permission) running fencelines and bumper dumping on coyotes with there dogs would you feel the same way?just curious
Bob- We have some sight hound guys in certain areas but most of our cover in the majority of the state is not too good for stags. Most guys up here will run them with trail hounds and then let the stags fly once they get them out in the open.
I have no problems with anyone hunting in any way that is legal. They are not my coyotes even on my own land we don't own the wildlife. Years ago before all the johnny come latelys started calling and only a few even cared about aclling or coyotes in general, it was no problem for anyone to take them in almost any way. Now with so many "callers" out there they tend to think that any way other form of coyote control other then calling shoud be illegal. You should read some of the PM's I've got about the evils of denning coyotes in the spring and summer.
It's really easy for me, If it is legal and you don't agree, that's your problem. If it's illegal and you see it and feel you need to do something call the TIP hotline or the local Sheriff. There are more than enough coyotes out there for whoever wants to work to get them.
By the way, there are a lot of guys who can't just strap on a pair of snowshoes and muscle it in to a calling set. What about those guys? I know a bunch of guys that use snowmachines, here in MN and across the northern states, to get into goods calling territory and then huff it. Some are older and need the help that a machine offers and some just like to hunt that way. Not many of them post on here because they are out hunting and not sitting at the computer whinning.
Just my opinion.

Around my area as it is now, it is not legal to run down yotes or shoot them off of a moving sled. The majority of the sled owners in my area do one or the other if not both. I want to state that I do not have a sled. I am not totally against the hunting of yotes from a sled. Common courtesy for the land owners would go a long way for support. I have talked with just about all of my neighbors and have permission to hunt any place I want to in the winter after deer season. Even in deer season if I see a yote I was asked to shoot it. My point is if I can go around and ask to hunt all of this ground how come the majority of the sledder are too lazy to do the same? Or the hound hunters? The yotes in my area are shy of the sled sounds. If they even hear a sled (several miles away) they are looking for cover and takes about an hour to a hour and a half to think that you are even going to call them. Don't like it but that is just the way that it is. I am not going to quit calling and just give up. I still get more than most of the illegal sledders do in a day. Suck it up and get it done. People that sit at home and cry about it don't get any! Being a person that gets just about all of my income from ranching, and being a hunter and a small trapper, I Can see both sides. A the statement about the State Trappers is fine if they seemed to have the time. The ACD workers is kind of a joke in my area. Mileage seem to be a big factor. The aerial was about as good as it was going to get until the FEDS took that over, what a ******* joke that is now. I think that I picked on both sides of the matter enough now. What is the right answer? I don't know. Tough to find where the middle ground is to meet on when there is extremes on both sides and no one wants to move or see the others point of view. I don't have to like the laws that are out there to help both sides, but "I" do try to follow them the best that I can. If more did there would be less problem from all parties. just my thoughts. Yote regs and problems should be regulated more by local enforcement and less by the FEDS. Just like the majority of the regulations should be handled more by local laws and enforcements. The less that the FEDS get involved with their one rule fits the whole nation crap the better. I am not anti gov. I just think that there should be more local control on most things.

Except that armed robbery is illegal, and chasing down coyotes on snowmobiles isn't here. I love to call as much as the next guy and do it as much as possible, but I also like to kill coyotes, whether that be in the spring(yes with pups in the den, summer, off the swather or tractor, or out of the feed pickup, and when conditions are right to chase them on a sled. Most people started calving shortly after the day of this picture and if any of you have ever seen what coyotes will do to a newborn calf and if it afffected your livelihood, you would soon fall out of love with them. It's not always about the sport of it here, it is more about predator control, and sleds are effective.

I need to be enlightened...does one chase them on the sled until the yote runs out of steam and then shoot them? Or do you just run them over with the sled to save ammunition? I am not trying to be funny, I am actually serious.
