To answer my own question, I'd try to kill the yote with my bow just because I like shooting my bow and I'd be legal but, I still may be carrying.

#!1-----------

without doing research, are you allowed to hunt coyotes in archery season with a rifle/shotgun with a regular hunting license..??

 
 
Let's see -----
 
archery season is October 3rd to Nov.14th ----
 
during that time on Oct 22-24..  i.e. during archery season...
 
I will be filling my 2F doe tag and Clear Creek DMAP tag with two deer and yes I will use a rifle or shotgun... and hell yes I'll shoot a coyote if one comes by.. and I will be using my regular hunting license.... not a fur taker one..
 
 
 
 
 

#3... shooting a possum for fun....
 
I believe the only person allowed to shoot a possum is one with a furtakers license.......

Ooooooopppp there was one more.....
 

Coyotes: (Statewide) - No Closed Season. Outside of any deer or bear sea-
son may be taken with a hunting license or a furtaker’s license and without
wearing orange.

 
so during those 6 weeks of achery season WHERE does it say I can not shoot a coyote while small game hunting...  NO CLOSED season OUTSIDE  is what it says...  I'm not archery hunting.. let's say I don't even have an archery stamp.. and you guys are trying to telling me I can't shoot a coyote during those 6 weeks....... ??
 
gheeeeeez..........

sorry i'm not as distinguished as you kind sirs. like i said, it's always been to my understanding that in ____ season you can only shoot a coyote as long as you have a valid ____ tag. and i thought that someone told us that you had to tag it. i am so sorry that i offended you, i have better things to do than get on the PAGC website and read about all the laws just so i can post my take on them here. i was just offering up what i had heard in the past. besides, if it's not over 30 pounds, you dont keep it... you take pictures of it and throw it over the hill because it's nothing to brag about

Dear Pork and 270....

I have given you plenty of time to research the topic of hunting coyotes during the periond Oct 3rd until NOv14th. (archery season as you are calling it).. I tired to show that there are other seaosn during this time too... but you guys would rather argue that find the facts...

You continue to state I need a furtakers license to shoot coyotes during that time period... ...  well here's the E- mail that EVERYONE else knew was coming ----- that I sent Tuesday... to prove I was right along ...

ANSWER ----  JUST EXACTLY WHAT I SAID 

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes

The only time you can't shoot a coyote is during the deer/bear seasons when you no longer have a valid deer/bear tag or the spring turkey season and you no longer have a valid turkey tag. That is to prevent hunters from being out there trying to kill more then the limit and using "I'm hunting coyotes" as an excuse for being out there hunting with a loaded gun.

All the time periods I just mentioned are in the same time period as archery season. and that was the question...

without doing research, are you allowed to hunt coyotes in archery season with a rifle/shotgun with a regular hunting license..??

and you and 270 said that during that time period (archery season ) I needed a furtakers licesne.. the E-mail shows you are full of it...  and do not know what yuou are talking about.

but I already knew that ..... the two of you have one goal here at fisherie... toss out BS and hope "Trout" does not respond !!!!

and the PGC answer was so simple a 5th grader could understand it..


As long as you are not hunting deer..bear.. or turkey.. (in other words OUTSIDE these situations) there are no restrictions on killing coyotes year round... NO CLOSED SEASON... may be taken with a regular license or furtakers.

ghezzzzz

you just never quit ??????????????

I enjoy having fun as much as the next guy..

I also have no problem admitting when I was wrong...

I knew the coyote question because as I have said so many time...

the local WCO and I are friends he lives less than a mile away and I see him almost every day.....  I am friends with the Elk County WCO as well .. he was originally from this area and went to school in Brookville...
and because of my message board and web site I have others that are willing to help answer questions etc at any time 24/7....

If you were a member of my board you would have had the coyote question  cleared up LAST YEAR !!!!

Do NOT GET ME WONG.. I am not bragging...

It's just that I have been doing the outdoors internet thing a LONG time and that has allowed me my "contacts" and "sources" to help folks be informed and understand DCNR, PGC and PFBC, etc


IN FACT.. and maybe I should not even post this....

I was on the phone and E-mailing for three hours on Monday getting it straight about me hunting does on the Oct22 senior hunt with my regular license and not a senior one...... at first I was told one thing and then the other...  it was finally straightened out and it all had to do with a mis-understanding about the word  ""application year" versus "calendar year"....

and the one guy had NO PROBLEM telling me he was wrong  :)

dr.Malpractice....you are the one full of bull crap, I phoned regional office for this district and also spoke to Dave Stewart wco clearfield, last year, what part of outside of archery season don't you understand, you are the jerk...first week of archery, no other season than deer, you can not hunt coyotes without a furtakers license, end of story, put the persons name you talked with, other than th at its "hearsay" from you..no proof you spoke with anyone..the first guy i spoke with at regional did not know the anwer, went to a supervisor..spoke to colleen shannon, she did not know the law either...but it states, outside any deer /bear y ou don't need an furtakers, turkey season in fall you have to have valid turkey tag, or furtakers license.. readit malpractice..

you put the answer right there...
 
""DURING ANY ARCHERY DEER SEASON:   MAY BE TAKEN WHILE LAWFULLY HUNTING DEER ""
 
 
I won't be hunting deer.. I will be hunting coyotes, squirrels, rabbits, and pheasants with my regular license...
has nothing to do with a deer season... just happens to overlap with archery season....
 
and naturally I can not shoot one while hunting deer with a bow.. not allow to carry a gun...
 
 

is this man that dense or what???????   you come over next week, bring a rifle and no furtakers rifle, say you are hunting coyotes and i will call wco and have your sorry butt arrested..you are not only a liar, but stupid to boot. i will try to explain this to you in infant dialog...lawfully hunting deer, means with bow/crossbow, you can take a coyote with above weapon..any other weapon, rifle, shotgun, pellet gun, spear, you must have a furtakers, do you get it yet, if not, you have demetia or someother mental problem...and you call me a hole..look in the mirrow..you are wrong and thats it..
