There is a group (9 now)of us who love to hunt coyotes and probably now spend more time and effort hunting them than any thing.
We all own our own hunting land, friend John owns the most and raises beef cattle. About 8 years ago he went to get some feed ground at the mill. While they were doing it he went to the common area where some farmers were talking about a coyote problem. John volunteered us to take care of the problem. Since that first farm 15 years ago we have gotten permission to coyote hunt 22 other farms by word of mouth. We have permission to small game and bird hunt 18 of those farms. We have permission to bow hunt deer on 4 farms and gun hunt on 1 so far.
When we get a call about a coyote problem we go to the farm as a group (when it was only 6 of us, Today we carry pictures) and introduce our selves, explain all of us will not show up to hunt the coyotes. First thing we ask is where should we park to be out of your way? Second question is can they/he show us all his property lines. Once that is out of the way we ask about where they see the coyotes come from and go to, that gives us an idea of where to start searching for where we will set up.
When we go to the farm to hunt we always park where they told us to, Wave or say hello to any one we see when we are getting ready to go to our set. Any gates we open we close behind us, we do not climb over a fence even if a coyote might make it thru one to another field before dying, we will walk several hundred yards to use a gate instead, once in a while if it is dry we will shimmy under a barb wire fence. Never ever walk across a muddy wheat or other field. Have always stopped when we leave and thank them for calling us to fix their coyote problem and how we did that day. let them know we may be back again even if we got a couple, have always been told we are welcome.
Never ran across a farmer that refused permission to hunt varmints unless some slobs made a mess before we got there.
