Hunting Questions (Coyote)

[car-15]

If you hunt small game during big game season you can be charged with poaching if you use a rifle caliber that is allowed for big game. If you do not have a big game tag never use a rifle for small game that is legal to use for big game. This only applies during big game season also handguns are excluded from this regulation.

I dont know what side of I-25 he is on, but that only applies west of the Interstate. we had to point that out to a dow officer one time, as we told him to go away, and stop ruining our hunt.

You are correct it has been a long time since I read the reg. either it has been changed or I simply did not remember that detail.

there is also a landowner exemption to allow for shooting coyotes from your vehicle in colorado - a little known reg - I got in to it with my hunter ed instructor over this one

iirc you have to apply for that exemption, and prove need, and it is a free 60 day permit, I have to find the copy of that reg. the dow guy gave to me, back when we looked into it.
