Coyote hunting on private lands

[bsutravis]

I'm well aware of the regulation that allows a hunter to hunt coyotes on private land, beyond the state established season, provided that the hunter has written permission to do so. My question is in regards to the "written permission" aspect of that rule.

I have written permission for all the properties that I hunt. I utilize a form that the landowner agrees to and signs, and then I keep that form in a binder in my vehicle at all times. The form is more of a generic letter that grants me permission to hunt, but it does not specify any specific species. In the case of hunting coyotes on private land, does the permission form have to specifially state "coyote" or will a generic permission to hunt letter that's signed by the landowner provide adequate permission should I be questioned while hunting summertime coyotes?

I've changed my permission form so that it now specifies year-round coyote hunting for any future landowners that grant me hunting permission, but I don't want to trouble my previous landowners to re-fill out the form unless it's needed to specify the coyote aspect.

Thanks for your time in answering.

If the landowner gives you a signed letter to hunt and doesn't specify a species, the letter would allow for any legal hunting. However, you adding that to future letters will definitely make it void of any doubt. let me know if you have further questions.
