I believe it's legal sunrise to 30 min after legal sunset, but someone more familiar with this area of the ODW regulations may be better to answer this.
I'm glad you learned something. this is directly from the OKDW websites page on fur bearer regulations guide. Keep in mind that these regulations are for fur bearers only. Coyotes are not considered fur bearing animals here, they are predators and should be hunted according to those regulations (and with the proper amount of zeal, I might add).
And from this comes the great, extreme, overdue need to overhaul Oklahoma's trapping regulations............no after dark shooting of fur bearing animals while checking traps.
If I take some hounds and tree a cat or coon I'm good...........happen upon a skunk or opossum, I'm good, but if they're in a trap, you're in violation if you pull the trigger after dark. Wonder if the original intent was to keep trappers and hounds men out of the woods at the same time? Or was that even a consideration and maybe just an oversight.
I agree with the .223 as well.
Thats a good question. I always thought the law was their way of cornering those that choose to take pelts from another persons trap, since most of those kinds of things would happen under cover of darkness. I think of it as an anti-poaching regulation. I know I wouldn't approach a trap with an animal in it, at night, with it pissed off to no end, without a way to dispatch it from a distance.
which reminds me excat, I need to get my fur license.
I had obtained one in college, but it was revoked due to over-use.

The only hogs on my property are my own personal hogs that I raised and just might want to shoot for food. Just like I can go pop one of my cows at 2 am with any gun I want, I can do the same with my hogs.
+1 other than perhaps a low power variable scope rather than a red dot.
winner winner chicken dinner.
Would be good choice
