anyone know anywhere to hunt coyotes in georgia?

For private land interpretation I am copying Lt. Judd Smith from the DNR Law Enforcement Division for his advice. Thanks. Don.

Not sure why he's doing that. It's 100% legal on private land. 24/7/365, any weapon (local discharge ordinances obviously apply).

I see quite a few in the period between late afternoon and dusk.

If you do find somewhere to hunt at night, it is advisable to do (2) things:


Call the local DNR AGENT, and report where you are hunting in case some one hears your shooting he will be aware of what is going on.

Then call the local authorities and report your night hunting, and the name of the local DNR, agent you have reported your hunting
activity to

This helps, makes the local authorities, and DNR, to rest a little a easier when someone reports shooting activity in the area.

just a simple suggestion that has worked well...

Good advice, thank you sir.

I thought the same, but I guess we'll see. I'll post that email when he responds.

Anyone hear of using golf balls to control their population? I had a chicken farmer over near the AL border tell me one time that he soaks golf balls in a pale with bacon grease and then throws them in the field; sd the yotes would eat them and then get stuck in their throat and die that way...seems cruel, but hey...better than eating your chickens I guess...

No I've never heard of that and have no idea if it works but please don't do that. Trap them or shoot them. Nothing animal, no matter how despised, should be tortured to death. And I despise coyotes.

I 100% guarantee you it's legal. But yes, post it. It's amazing what some people within WRD don't know about the legislation they are entrusted to enforce.

What we already knew:

It is legal on private property.
