So how can I find a place to coyote hunt in LA (preferably somewhat near Baton Rouge)? I'm still fairly new to the area and am not yet familiar with locating public land/agreeable landowners, having done most of my past hunting on our family farm. Thanks

I would say that your best bet would be to go to places where farmers frequent (i.e. coops, feed stores, equipment dealerships and make yourself known to the folks there...both farmers and folks who work there...let them know what you want to do and maybe even make yourself a flyer to leave on a bulletin board, etc. saying that you are available to control coyotes...it will likely take a while for folks to warm up to you, but eventually they will...

you may also want to check in with the department of wildlife and fisheries for some advice...you surely won't be able to do it on public land at night during deer season, but they may allow it outside of deer season...

Honestly, just about any person you meet that has private propery or a lease will give you permission "after the season". Think of your first year as a test:
Kill a few, respect the land/landowner, and you will be invited back yearly as "one of the family". If you ever screw up (ie. rut up the roads, litter, or leave a gate open) forget about going back on that property.

Nice, I'm glad to know there are receptive landowners around here. And having been very selective of the few individuals allowed to hunt our farm year in and year out, I certainly try my very best to cause none of those problems and despise it when others do.

Spankum's first paragraph is dead on. I trapped those mangy bastard for nuisance and the live market during my highschool and college years. The local co-op, feed store, or hunting depot is the place to be. Just be pre-warned that everybody that wants to trap or shoot a coyote knows this and uses it to their advantage.
Person to person conversations will yield you the best hunting opportunities.

Sure-fire way to get an arse-chewing. When people let you on your property, it's always a good idea to be overly kind to them (is a good practice in all aspects of life as well). Bring the landowner a gift. I used to go out of town in the spring turkey hunting a lot. I'd leave the LP with a truck full of home grown tomatoes, catfish filets, pecan pies, and all kinds of other stuff. Even when people denied access to their property I'd give them something. I usually didn't make it off the doorstep before I'd hear "On second thought, I guess it's ok if you go back there and kill just one turkey."

Have land South of Clinton. About 30 mins North of BR. Plenty of yotes. After the season you are welcome to hunt.
