I' ve never been coyote hunting in my life, but recently some old fella told me the coyote was becoming a problem in central/southside virginia. Can anyone tell me how to hunt them, where to go in VA, etc. I' ve been deer hunting here for several years & have never seen a coyote?? Is the old guy nuts?

Nope not nuts. Va has a pretty good yote population going. Actually Tazwell county had at one time (not sure about now) the highest yote population east of the Mississippi. I' m still a rookie myself but know of a good page with a ton of information to help you out....

Bill has put a lot of work into this page and it will help you. Even though he lives out west the principals are the same. Good luck to ya' .

Up here in western N.Y., we use hound' s walker' s, bluetick, redbone, plott, trained
just for yote' s, and it' s just like a yankee version of deer hound huntin, and we
get them somtimes 50 to 65 pound male' s, when a 60 pound male stop' s and make' s
a stand, he can really put a woppin on the hound' s if you dont get there real fast, northern yote' s are much bigger bone structure then southern and western
yote' s, they are killin machine' s for deer and turkey, so i dont mind one bit dumping one when I get the chance

broey1..if you find some place to do sme yote hunting let me know I am looking to try to do some yote hunting with my bow... I have a few small places to do some deer hunting maybe we can trade off......
