I see a guy post on Facebook that he's hunting coyotes now, and is even being sponsored (he tapes his hunts). What happened to the season? According to the DNR, season doesn't start until 10/15.

I could be remembering incorrectly, but wasn't there something where landowners, or people with landowner permission, could take coyotes at any time?

Weren’t they working to eliminate the required written permission? I don't know, but I think they ought to. Just open it up year round.
I mean really, if you have permission to hunt coyotes during the regular season, how many property owners are going to deny access during the summer? Why make an extra hoop to jump through for just part of the year?
My hunch is that by keeping published season dates, they keep the antis off their backs.. I can just hear their caterwauling about hunting during the pup season.

As I understand it a landowner can take or allow permission to take a yote, coon, skunk outside of the hunting season only as a nuisance issue. This means the entire animal is destroyed (not allowed to keep the fur). I also understood that to mean your removing the nuisance....not actively going out after them/hunting them. Something to the tune of if they are pestering your chickens you can shoot them, but you can't go 1/2 mile across your property after them. It's about the "intent" as far as I understood it.
I also think permission for access for ANY reason should be required to be in writing. As a landowner....if you can't get my written permission to be there.....you more than likely shouldn't be there! I realize some situations exist where that is far more difficult, but a verbal agreement is worthless as you have no proof of anything. As a landowner I want this requirement to stand. If you don't have my "OK" in writing I want the CO to put his boot in your butt! It's not the CO's job to contact me as a landowner for me to verify that "Johnny" is allowed to be where he is.....that burden fall's on "Johnny".

jBird,
I’m not sure on that I don’t think one needs a nuisance animal permit to kill all the coyotes you want to on private ground with the owners permission.
Written permission from the landowner is a very good idea but I don’t think that is required?
Maybe good questions for the CO here?

Hunting guide specifies written permission and also states they must still hold a valid hunting license if hunting with landowner permission |

Down at the bottom of the page. www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/5688.htmI might be mistaken but I thought Jbird was talking about other types of hunting when he talked about written permission? |

Coyote can be taken year round, no need for active nuisance activity, on private ground with written landowner permission.
Part of the reason to keep a legal season is public ground.

Many states have year-round open season on coyotes, public and private. I'm sure Indiana's population could sustain the pressure.
Just another way to complicate the rule book.. written permission required certain months of the year but not others, season open on this side of the fence but not the other. Just look at the confusion on this thread, and I'd wager that the folks on this site are more well informed than 90% of the hunters out there.

You are correct Woody.....I was commenting about all recreational activities. I think written permission should be required to access ANY private land. If you don't fall into the exemptions for needing a license, you should require a license AND written permission in my opinion. |

In Ohio any hunting on private land that you don't own requires a written permission. I don't have any issues with it. |

The people that bought the field behind the house are from Ohio and wanted to give me written permission and I don't have a problem with it and if it's somebody you don't really know,like if you go door to door,then I think it's a good idea,but if it's somebody you've known and are friends with your whole life I don't see the reason. The way we've always done it,if you come up on a hunter and they can't tell you the landowners name they probably don't belong there but if they do know it than they probably have permission. I always check with the landowner later to verify. COs usually don't ask if a hunter has permission I don't think,unless they were called to check.When a CO has come to me they just ask to see my license.
