The North Dakota Coyote Catalog is open for the winter.
The catalog is a partnership between the North Dakota Department of Agriculture and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department designed to connect coyote hunters and trappers with landowners who are dealing with coyotes in their areas. It can be a good way for hunters and trappers to locate new places to go, said Game and Fish Director Terry Steinwand.
Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring encourages landowners, especially farmers and ranchers who have problems with coyotes, to sign up for the Coyote Catalog.
This past season, nearly 40 landowners participated in the Coyote Catalog, along with more than 200 hunters and trappers.
Landowners can sign up on the NDDA website at www.nd.gov/ndda/coyote-catalog . County and contact information is required.

Hunters and trappers can sign up at the NDGF website, gf.nd.gov .
Anyone who registered for the Coyote Catalog in the past must register again to activate their names on the database.
Throughout the winter, hunters or trappers may receive information on participating landowners, and they should contact landowners to make arrangements.
Goehring and Steinwand said landowners experiencing coyote depredation of livestock should first contact the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services.
The Coyote Catalog will remain active through March 31, 2017.
