I just returned to Montana from a short trip to the west coast. I travelled on I-90 through eastern Washington on 12/31/2,012. At 2:00 PM in the afternoon I was passing through the Sprague Lake area and I began seeing Coyotes - LOTS of Coyotes! There was about 4 inches of newish snow on the ground and the Coyotes were out in abundance feeding and Hunting adjacent to the interstate. I saw 10 (ten) Coyotes in a somewhat short distance (21 miles). The first Coyote I saw was near milepost 255 and the last was near mile post 234. Eight of the ten Coyotes I saw were on the north side of I-90 and two were actually on the ice on the far eastern edge of Sprague Lake which is on the south side of I-90. This area NEEDS some attention from an industrious predator Hunter! I will list the nearest mileposts where I noted the Coyotes in case anyone can make it to that area and take advantage of these daylight feeding Yotes. #255 #252 #251 #250 (two Coyotes) #247 #238 (two Coyotes south side on ice) #237 #234 The next Coyote I saw that afternoon was near Ellensburg and it was in amongst some farm houses and buildings. I hope someone can get out and get after these Coyotes. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

You're not supposed to tell!
Lots of private land around there I think.

Okanagan: I see. Seems the first 49 years of my life I lived in Washington state and every time I went over the crest of the Cascades to get into the open country to call/waylay some Coyotes the private land owners loved to have their Coyotes thinned out. Anyway if you are nearby I hope you can find a place to bonk a few of these. I got an off line PM from a fellow who was down south of Sprague about 60 miles Hunting Coyotes the same weekend and he saw a "lot" of Coyotes and was poking holes in them with his new AR type Rifle.
