Coyote Hunting

Coyote hunting is by calling and shooting and not by dog running on Association lands. Shotgun or rifle coyote hunting is permitted. Daylight coyote hunting only.

Association coyote hunting is closed during the week before and during the spring turkey season, Missouri rifle and Iowa's shotgun deer seasons as well as on any property with deer bow hunting scheduled. Hunters may coyote hunt Kansas during Missouri's and Iowa's gun deer seasons. While some state coyote hunting seasons open earlier, Association coyote season starts the first of September and runs through to the end of March allowing seven months of coyote hunting.

Coyotes are largely under hunted and need to be thinned down. Every turkey hunter should harvest several coyotes every year to reduce the coyote predation on non-flying turkey pullets.
