Tom59 Member Registered: 12/28/10 Posts: 1174	Is there a minimum acreage requirement for the use of centerfire rifle on private land for hunting coyote? Is it the same as deer? There is nothing specific listed. Thank you

Just make sure the property owner gives you permission to be there. Common sense should always play a part though....if it's a 2 acre parcel in the middle of a development I strongly recommend you not go in there with a .223, 22.250, 30.06 or something similar. While it may be legal it will just upset the neighbors who will probably call their legislators, and you know how things can go sideways at that point.

Tom59 Member Registered: 12/28/10 Posts: 1174	Thanks for the clarification. Don't plan on shooting in someones back yard!!! Enough screwballs out there already. Wanted to be sure on the regs before pursuing other properties to hunt. Thanks.
