im asking if anybody would shoot a coyote in the the deer season, if you have the right to shoot them?

il coyote

Depends. Peak rut, 5 minutes after daylight?? probably not.

But overall, yes, many more times than not. Shooting coyotes or shooting deer is almost a dead heat for me.

In IL you may shoot a coyote during the firearm deer season, but you must put one of your deer tags on it. So therefore I don't think many people do. I know I never have. But this may not mean that guys (or girls) don't shoot them and not tag them cause they don't know the regulation.

In rifle season, I don't unless it is in the middle of the day and there is no deer activity. I am just getting into bow hunting so I don't know if I would with a bow. I probably will do the same thing. Not in the morning or evening but will around noon with no deer activity.

if a coyote walks out right before I shoot a deer I will turn the gun on it. THe deer will come back but it might not be that day

I'll shoot one for sure. Last year I shot a mangy one chasing a fawn.

It's a deer tag, not a deer/coyote tag. You don't need to tag the coyote, you just must be in possesion of a deer tag and followingblaze orange requirementsto shoot coyotes during the shotgun deer season. This keeps guys from going out with a rifle and no orange,coyote hunting, wink winkduring shotgun deer season.

if you're deer hunting, and want to shoot one, fine, you just can't be out hunting for yotes only.

Any chance I get. Coyote season is opened all year for us in WI except during the gun deer season. It is treated as a small game
