I mean why let you kill them and then make you leave them lay!?!? If they are going to allow you ro kill them they they should allow you to make use of them. |

This is yet another law that doesn't make sense. By forbidding possession after the last day of the season, it forces you to break another law described as wanton waste. Aside from that, how can they know a coyote in someone's possession was taken on public or private land?

Aside from that, how can they know a coyote in someone's possession was taken on public or private land? They don't need to know if it was taken on public or private land. All they need to know is if you are in possession of one after the season has ended because then you are in violation no matter where it was taken. |

Exactly. Regardless, one wouldn't want to be caught in possession of a coyote hide the day after the season ends, so one would be faced with two choices if hunting at the end of the season. Either leave the legally harvested yote to lay (a violation of the wanton waste law), or get it into the possession of a taxidermist in a big hurry, which seems like an undue burden on the hunter to me. They don't want you keeping the hide after the regular season ends no matter where it was taken. So we're "hunting" coyotes during the coyote season and outside the season we're practicing "varmint control" because we're not allowed to be in possession. It's illegal to be wantonly wasteful on the 15th of March, but it's the law on the 16th. I know it's a small thing here we're discussing, it's just coyotes, but it does throw another spotlight on the fact that an awful lot of our game laws are confusing, make no sense, and need rewriting.

Harvest deemed "ADC" aren't covered by wanton waste laws. I've never met a CO that would walk across the street to observe your "ADC Harvested" coyote, possum or coon although we're required to report them. Lots of silly laws out there, but the only thing worth less than a prime Indiana coyote is a Mid-Summer Indiana coyote.  |
