Coyote Culling - on behalf of farmer
So i've read over the 2014-15 regulations with regards to coyote/wolf hunting and I can't figure out what I'm allowed to do.
On our own land in 58 i understand that i need to have my small game lic as well as a wolf/coyote seal (up to 2 allowed per season). I can't party hunt if i have filled my 2 seals.
However, our neighbour is a beef farmer and he's asked us to be an agent for him on his land, to hunt coyotes as they're getting out of hand.
Do the regulations apply, or am i allowed to go willy nilly and take more than 2 yotes on the farmer's property as per his request?
Thanks.

The land owner has to contact the mnr and they will assess the situation. If they feel he has a valid complaint they will issue a quota and you can be named as an agent on the paperwork the land owner will receive from the mnr. They may issue tags or may not,I have done it twice for deer and the first time they issued 10 tags and the second time no tags just a quota we were to follow.

There's some legal requirements that you need to follow to be an official agent for the farmer,but,essentially,once it's done,you can take out as many as is required to safeguard his livestock. Check with OMNRF to find out the specifics.
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....

Has too much time on their hands
If the farmer can get some insurance papers (or other paper trail) proving his livestock has been attacked by coyotes for the MNRF, that will strengthen his case.

Dyth is correct in stating that the mnr will want some proof that damage is being done before issuing permission to conduct a cull. In my case my farmer friend who operates a few apple orchards had plowed out a few rows of trees that were not producing so well any more. He planted new young trees and the deer were on them fast eating the tender shoots and buds. The mnr came to see the damage and also wanted to see the bill of sale regarding how much these new apple trees cost my friend.
After those requirements were met the mnr issued the permit to remove deer and myself and another buddy provided photocopies of our outdoors czrds and we were placed on the paperwork stating we were acting as agents on behalf of the land owner.

The MNR has licensed hunters like trappers to do the job that they will call in...

Right,but,the final option is with the land owner who may choose whom they want.

The livestock and honey bee protection act lets you harrass or kill animals in protection of your livestock. Farmers everywhere are shooting animals to protect their livestock without hunting licences or seals. In worst case, shoot, shovel and shut-up.

Thanks all, great responses.
Got the info I needed and didn't have to waste time on the phone with the MNR, who rarely have ppl answering who know the information.
It would be a no-go as far as the MNR would be concerned. Coyotes have only killed one of his calves in recent years.
He's just seeing more yotes than any other wildlife and wants some killed.
