THe province is apparently running late on getting the licenses out to the retail stores, but the NL Government service centers have them. I got my small game and coyote licences earlier this week at the service center at 5 Mews Place in St. John's (off Pippy Place).

   Right on Peter, the season has to be open for the licence you  are carrying. If you are carrying a rim fire riffle with a small game licence you are hunting small game . Isn't a coyote small game. I called the Dept of Wildlife to get some info on the reason for the restriction on hunters carrying coyote licences only and when I heard the reasons for it I tore each and every one of them to shreds and by the time I was finished talking to the guy I had him convinced that the restriction should be examined and possibly lifted.

I haven't read it in the book lately but i think that the rule stats you can shoot a coyote with any firearm that your are hunting with on any license, like a high powerd rifle if you have a moose license, and see one WHILE moose hunting, or a 22 if you see a coyote WHILE hunting small game. You can not take a 22 in the woods for the sole purpose of coyote hunting., you can only shoot them if encounterd while small game hunting.

what is the last day u can use .22 with small game license .nov???

Comment by Peter Emberley on September 7, 2011 at 9:12pm

Once the small game season opens,  you can use a 22. If you can use a 22 for grouse, then you can use it next Saturday the 17.

 

 This Saturday the 10th you must use the 223, 22 250, 204, center fire 22 or a shotgun with shot size #2 or larger.

 

 Hope this helps.

peter or albert, are you guys saying that if I buy a small game license I can use a .22 to shot coyotes saturday when the season opens, or do you mean that once the small game season opens I can then use my.22 to shot coyotes? If you could clear this up for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
