For woodchucks and coyote? Or just the 'yotes?

Both[up] Best way to get a no BS answer and if he/she does not know they will usually find the answer for you quickly

 

if your property is zoned and taxed as farm land then no you do not need any special permits to kill groundhogs, coyote, and fox year round when found endangering crops and animals. When using a rifle you must have a valid rifle permit for that year though.

This is true however there is an added statement to that reg "by any legal means" using a rifle to shoot a coyote is not legal in NJ so you can not use a rifle for yotes. Additionally there are ammo restrictions for woodchuck. Anything over 25 caliber you can not use a bullet that weighs more than 100 grains, 25 cal and under you can use anything. You may be able to get a depredation permit from the state to shoot yotes with a rifle but without a permit it is not legal.

 

Wow. There is a lot to get straight. I don't want to shoot anything until i get this sorted out.

Im pretty new to all this, where can i get the phone number for my local conservation officer?

 

Here's a link to call contact info for F&G.

This is true. You must follow F&G regulations to shoot both yotes and chucks. Also you must report yotes to F&G. I have shot both on my farm. No permit is needed. Yotes are looking for newborns and that is why they are hanging around your barn. Nip it in the bud.

 

The first thing you did wrong is to post on here. You should have just S-S-S
Shoot-Shovel-Shut up

OH excuse me,thats the Piney comming out in me. Your from up North.
Northerns like being told what they can and cant do.The farther North you go the worst it gets.
Dont beleave me ?
Just look at the trap'n laws of say Mississippi and then look at the trap'n laws in Maine

 

you can shoot a coyote legally if you are a farmer protecting your animals. you just need to call the state and let them know

 

Shoot-Shovel-Shut up

exactly what i was gonna say

 

Northerns like being told what they can and cant do

im from north nj and i agree with u on the sss.

Listen up rebel yell, hate to brake the news to you, but you ain't no suthuner. yous a yankee too dildo. You're 100 miles from the Statue of Liberty and you're calling people "northeners" because you live in the Pines? [rofl] Too funny!

 

coyote permit is only 2 dollars, it allows you to hunt private land day or night all year round

Hate to break this to you but Port Republic would be 43 miles below the Mason/Dixon line if it ran straight to the ocean.
If you ever me talk I'll soon find out that my accent is not a northern one.Its true Piney

another one that should not be allowed to own a gun.

Yep, that's a Piney all right...[drinking]

 

if the coyote is causing or fear of causing damage it can be trapped or shot with a shot gun. bow or black powder.

if the coyote is in the same pasture looking at the colt I think damage may happen.

groundhogs digging is damage trap or shoot with rifle center fire 100 grain or less bullets, rim fire rifle 17 and 22. bow not sure about bp. shotgun

in the digest look for nuisance wildlife control

 

I won't say read the rule book or check "NJ FG%W.com" to get a better idea of what you can do, cause that may turn people away from asking questions.

 

Hate to break this to you but Port Republic would be 43 miles below the Mason/Dixon line if

Hate to break this to you, but ain't no "if"!!! The Mason Dixon line didn't run straight to the ocean, it ran down the western Delaware border. Keep dreaming about being a suthuner. [sleep] [rofl]

if ifs and buts were candy and nuts what a fine christmas we'd all have. Hate to break it to you but even though you're from bumble effed nj you are still a northerner. dont believe me go to va and see if you aren't called a yankee.

my accent is not a northern one.Its true Piney

Thats something to be proud of...not [rofl]
