I'm interested in hunting Coyote in the CNFS for the first time. I have never hunted this area before so my knowledge of it is abosolutely zero. I did pick up a map so I have some idea on how to get in and out but that's about it. I'm looking for some type of open or sage brush terrain where I can get a pretty good visual of my surroundings. I do not mind walking so if the oppotunity is off the beaten path and I do not run into crowds of people, I am all for it. Once I get an idea then I can explore from there. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I've been looking just off the Ortega Hwy near hot springs road. It looks pretty open from the google satellite map. I plan on doing a few scouting trips prior to going on my first yote hunt. Let me know your thoughts since you have some experience in this area. Thank you for your help.

This is a PERFECT subject to research using this forum's Search function. There have been numerous threads about hunting in different parts of the CNF over the years.

Be careful hunting CNF as there are a lot of turkey hunters this time of the year. They are seriously camoed out and extremely hard to spot. You don't want to accidentally shoot someone.

I just picked up my map and yearly pass to the CNF. I have been in scouting a little bit and searching the forums for spots as well. The problem I see so far is that the area is very vertical and really thick, so getting some of those nice stand areas were you can cover some ground is difficult. And if you do find a spot, it most likely is close to a campground. Gotta maintain that 150 yards from the campground... Good luck out there.

Yearly pass? You don't need no stinking pass! If someone at the forestry office tells you that you say " Adams vs, US Forest Service, No. 10-16711. 9th CircuitThat will end the conversation and keep $40 in your pocket.

Tony, there is still a pass to "highly used areas" like ohv areas, so be weary.
