Younghunter, Thanks for trying. I think Kodak does something to prevent them from being moved around easily.

I wouldnt be posting pics of an animal that is illegal to kill!!!

HunterAZ, re-read the rules and regs. Nowhere on this thread is there an animal that is illegal to kill in AZ. Even a dumb New Mexican can figure that out!

I think you should reread the rules and regs. Is there a Kota season? NO!! They are protected. Every animal that you can shoot has a season. I could care less who shoots them, but some people might that is why I said something. So obviously a dumb New Mexican cant figure it out.

Coati season runs from Sep 1, 05 - March 31, 06 statrewide. See page 34 in the 05-06 AZ hunt regs.

I thought that Coati's are protected also. I'm in Northern Az where there are none,

Are you guys just kidding around or is there really a season, or are you going to make me look in the reg's. I heard they are protected in N.M. also, we saw one there during our Coues hunt.

We saw a pack of 15-20 coati's in unit 32 in Nov. I never knew they ran in that high of numbers. Iv'e always only see 3-4 in the past.

It was cool they were making this like barking sound and dropped right of the edge of this huge canyon right near dark.

I was gonna shoot 1 but some does and fawns ran right past me while I was watching them. Figured na a buck may be close by in the canyon.

 

For Scottyboy, those coati's love mearns quail eggs. They are 1 of their biggest threats in the chain.

So you want to start hunting them in your spare time also.

 

When they are in numbers they look like monkeys crossing the hills.

 

Have fun

I was in 24B about 10 years ago and I tree'd a coati. It was the strangest thing up close. I told my hunting partner it looked like a cross between a badger, raccoon, with a long monkey tail and it ran up and down the tree sort of challenging me while barking at me like an angry little dog!

 

A few hours later my buddy spots a heard of coatis moving toward us across mountain slope. He said he did not know what I had seen, but it looked like he had some friends coming my way.

A very strange sight indeed. About 40 of them with those long "cane shaped" tails moving across the hillside. Someone took a shot at a deer across a canyon and those things just scurried back across the hillside like rats off a sinking ship.

 

I saw a warden later in that hunt and told him about it ( I had no idea what animal it was) and he said he had not seen coatis that far north in that large of a heard, but yes they are all over the southern part of the state. I think the bag limit is one coati per year but yest they are legal.

 

It Sort of looks like that new carnivore animal they are trying to capture in Borneo bit with a different color.

Here is a link to that story. Borneo Coati?

Muley, they are protected in NM --which unit did you see one in, 27?
