Question about public land for Kentucky guys

[cityslicker]

Do any of you hunt the WMA's in the state? A friend of mine wants me to take him coyote hunting, but I don't have permission to bring him to the private property I hunt. I was thinking of Yellow Bank WMA or Taylorsville WMA. I know it's not ideal, but figure it's worth a shot.

i used to hunt alot of wma land.... the only problem i had was all the people out rabbit and deer hunting.... now i only hunt the wma during feb. and march.  The other thing that hurts yote hunting in the wma around my house is all the roads that cut through it.  It never fails when i go out on the wma's, about half way threw the stand someone would dump a load of rabbit dogs out

Most of my hunting is on public land. I hunt the big strip job WMAs like Begley, Graham, Ataya and Redbird in eastern Ky.

Jeremy, most any other hunters you see over there are after different game. Deer, elk, rabbit and birds. In the last 5 years I have never ran into another coyote hunter while I was there. And with all the people driving around looking at the elk, the coyotes are used to seeing vehicals. I have had trucks and ATVs drive right thru my stands and have coyotes come in 5 minutes later. So the traffic dosen't bother me too much. I just quit calling till they get past me.

Just scout them well before you take him, and make sure they are open to hunting right now. If you are palnning a trip soon.

In winter it is another story. No matter what wma you choose there will be some type of competition. Look for deep cover areas then. Jimmie
