Night season for coyote and bobcats created


Recommended Posts

I read it yesterday, and thought to myself "Wow, I had no idea it was illegal to shoot coyotes at night before"  They are treated as a pest around here and I always thought it was open season day or night on anything that would harrass my livestock or dogs

Those waters might get a bit murky, it's been a bit since I read up on the TCA about protecting livestock (there is a specific Tennessee law that allows you to do so) but I recall the wording of that law to have no stipulations about protecting livestock only during certain times of the day. 

Setting out to look for coyotes after dark would be a different story. I just wish T-dubs would have overhauled their pig regs and included night hunting for them as well.

Night hunting for pigs and using dogs would be great too. Hogs absolutely tear up and destroy everything when they invade an area and the regs should reflect that

Absolutely worthless, you are restricted to shotgun, and not even slugs.

You aren't wrong. But that's about what I would expect out of the Tennessee Wasting Resources Agency.

I’m gonna be honest, just reading the season for coyotes on twra in the past led me to believe they were fair game 24/7 with anything on private property.

I haven't kept up with it but when we had open season no limit on hogs some of the local "sportsmen" imported a bunch so they would have big critters to kill year round. Of course, those imports chose to procreate. A lot. So, no more open season no limit.
