The rule requiring posessing a valid deer tag was instituted a long time ago for good reason. It keeps a guy from walking into the woods with his gun after killing his deer andclaiming to be hunting coyotes, foxes, etc.
It's not clear in the wording you posted above, but I believe that even WITH a furtakerslicense, you cant hunt coyotes in deer season without a valid deer tag in your posession. I'm not claiming to be an authority on this miniscule point. I might be mistaken on this verysmall point but I beleive that anyone who HUNTS coyotes in deer season must have a valid deer tag and anyonewho TRAPS them in deer season or any other time,needs a furtakers stamp
Is there a WCO or PGC staffer who can correct me or verify my interperetation?
BtBow: even with my marlboros with something in them i find it to be very clear what the law states,,,your correct in your assumption that with a furtaker liscense,,,you may hunt coyotes during the deer or bear seasons ,INSTEAD of hunting deer and bear because you have no tag to legally hunt em! But,,,where i tend to want to be argumentative is when you suggest my point may be miniscule or even small,,the law is the law,,,and i spend alot of money every year to hunt,,,just hunt,,,,and nowhere in my budget did i leave room for the warden to write me up with a pi$$load of tickets. so,, this being said,,,i just want to make sure that my assumptions of the laware 100% the same as the wardens and i want you to be clear as well,,,because in your above statement i think you mistyped the wordwith (in capital letters and underlined) for without? i may be wrong in my assumption and if so i apologize.
