Is this public land? Is it legal to go out and hunt varmints like coyote on public land and do you need a licence for this in NM? Elmer Keith

A NM resident does not need a license for coyotes. A non-resident needs to buy IIRC a trappers license.

With the closest being about 10 yards away. Today was special as we called in a coyote at each stand. On the first stand one came in and left pronto,the second stand I missed the same dog....twice! The next two stands I killed one. They seemed to come in at about the halfway mark in calling. My cousin never got a shot off or seen the last two dogs. Last edited by elkhunternm; 12/05/20.

elkhunternm Campfire Oracle E Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 96,040 Southern New Mexico	No,I don't farm them. Population density is two less. The top one was about 100 yards and the bottom one was 140+ yards. The bottom one I stepped it off at 152 steps,so 140+ yards. Yes,the .222 again. Bullet is a 50 grain Hornady soft point. Today is supposed to be 65 . On Saturday the high was IIRC 53.

Fortunately the gray squirrels didn't make it to Germany yet. The Brits have some problems with them because the grey are displacing the native red squirrel. But if they would get to Germany they would be fair game. They are bigger than the red squirrels which means an addition to the menu. Elmer Keith
