Yes i believe you can hunt coyotes year round. Most states consider them pests and varmints, so its open season. If you are hutning all day, rember to move at least a 1/4 mile about every hour because once a coyote knows you are there, you probly wont see one. If you move, you increase your chances of seeing/shooting one because the ones in that area might not have heard previous calls, and wont know what it is and will be curious. For an all day trip, you obviously need food and water, and possibly bait if you can bait coyotes. I suggest you wear full camo, coyotes are very keen, and can see a flick of a finger from 200 yards and know somethings wrong and they will turn tail and flee. If you hear a bunch of noise like birds and squirrels going crazy, dont move, theres a predator around. It could be a coyote, or bobcat, or something else, but if its there, it can more than likely see you even if you dont think it can. If you do see one, try not to move at all, but if you have to to say, raise your gun, do it as slow as possible. Id advise a decoy, like a rabbit on a stick, or other decoys you can get at about any outdoor store. A dog will work too. I take my dog, and tie him up about 20-25 yards away. Coyotes are very territorial and if they see another dog or coyote, they will forget anything and cahse it off. While its busy watching the decoy/dog/whatever, you shoot it. Make sure the coyote doenst run full boar after the dog, i ahd that happen, adn it ruined my hunt'i had to chase off the coyote from chasing my dog. MY dog is prefectly capable of killing a coyote, hes done it twice, but him being tied up would have beena mess for him, me and the coyote. I would not use a .22 no matter what type of action. I shot a coyote at about 65 yards with a .22 lr and it ricocheted off its head. It shook and ran off. If you have a centerfire rifle, use it. I use a .243 for coyote hunting, and if need be, i can hit one in the vitals at 400 yards. A .22LR, might be good to 50 yards, but you are lucky if you get them into 100 yards. You can also use a shotgun with slugs, they kill coyotes with ease. Remember, shotguns arent as accurate, and they are limited to around 100 yards. Best guns for coyotes- .222, .223, 22-250, .243 anything in that area, or you could go bigger to say a .270 with a littler bullet.





By the way, watch the rabid ones, they dont like humans. I found out last year, he ran at me, but my shotgun slug met him halfway. He died.





Good luck.Can you hunt coyote year round in minnesota. And what is the supplies i will need for an all day hunting trip?
You got a .22 rimfire automatic??? WOW





I didn't know those were legal unless you have a class III. You must be special.





Just kidding man... What I wouldn't give to have all day to track down a few coyotes. Follow the below advice, it is sound. The only thing I would add is that if you are going to track wounded animals bring a good first aid kit and be prepared in your head to get lots of rabies shots if you happen to get bitten.





Sidearm or big knife is a must. Any food you bring make sure it is sealed tight or you could become the hunted instead of the hunter....lol
From the Minn DNR website, looks like there is no season on coyote and the only prohibitions are artificial lights and motor vehicles. Check the rules yourself, please. Link below.





I would not use a .22 personally, but I do know folks who have used their .22s for 'yotes. You need to be close and you need to hit the right areas to knock them down with that round. I prefer something with a little more punch and range for a humane kill.





Be prepared to track down wounded coyotes and finish them off....not something I relish doing. If you do go this route, I recommend carry a sidearm and be prepared to do some running.
