Coyote Hunting California

Although native to the U.S., coyotes have become a pest species that harass livestock, pets, and people. With the near eradication of the gray wolf in the U.S., coyotes have expanded their range to spread across the country and into southern portions of Canada and Alaska. Coyote hunting is legal in California with no daily or bag limits.

At Conservative Game Management, we maintain a large game preserve of elk, bison, deer, hogs, turkeys, quail, and other popular game species on 110,000 acres in the Diablo Mountain Range. This attracts coyotes to our preserve, making herd maintenance difficult for our land managers. We offer guided coyote hunts to control the local coyote populations.

What to Expect While Coyote Hunting in California

Coyote hunters can expect to follow coyote tracks across open areas on the CGM property to locate individual coyotes, pairs, or small groups. Coyotes don’t often form packs but may live in a family group. When hunting, coyotes prefer to work alone, or they can work in pairs to take down larger prey.

Many coyotes are solitary. These are often unmated individuals that have left their birth families and ventured out on their own.

Most coyotes mate for life and will only find a new mate after their previous mate dies. The coyote mating season is typically from late January through early March, with pupping season shortly after, usually March through May.

Coyotes have a varied diet consisting frequently of birds, mice, rats, rabbits, gophers, reptiles, amphibians, fruit, carrion, and deer fawn. They also predate poultry, sheep, and cattle on agricultural lands, usually singling out young or weak individuals.

Although our coyote hunting package at Conservative Game Management is typically for one day, you can schedule a multi-day hunt with lodging and meal add-ons. Our lodging options include a bunkhouse, a four-bedroom ranch house, or a three-bedroom ranch house. Overnight guests have access to many amenities, including:

  • TVs
  • Bar
  • WiFi
  • Pool tables
  • Outdoor fire pits
  • Trap shooting
  • Shooting range

About the Hunting Land and Coyotes

At Conservative Game Management, our 110,000-acre preserve sits in the Diablo Mountain Range area. The terrain varies between wide open areas of flat plains speckled with trees to rocky outcroppings, hills, and mountainsides. Coyote hunters should expect to traverse several terrain types while tracking coyotes and other pest species.

Our guides will help coyote hunters pick up the trail of coyote tracks and other signs and follow them back to the animal that made them, taking care not to spook the wily animals. Myths and legends that describe coyotes as clever aren’t far from the truth; they are adept at avoiding hunters.
