According to some of the trapping threads here, around November 15 is when they start seeing prime coyotes. So probably a week either way depending on conditions. I've seen some real good ones in the first week, but that's north of Edmonton.

The "season" for coyotes is closed May 31 or June 15 (if there is a black bear season) until the opening day of a big game season.

Most zones in the south would be no hunting from May 31 to Sept 1. Landowners can hunt year round.

But as said above, prime coyotes would be in November.

Its in the Regulations

Livestock Predation Control - under general Regulations

Black Bear and Coyote*
Any person who is (a) the owner or occupant of privately owned land, or (b) authorized to keep livestock on public land, or (c) a resident authorized by a person described in (a) or a resident authorized in writing by a person described in (b) may, without a licence, hunt (but not trap) black bear or coyote on such lands, at all times of the year.


Other Species - under big game regulations

Coyote – A Resident, Non-resident or Non-resident Alien who holds a Non-resident/Non-resident Alien Wolf/Coyote licence may, except in WMUs 728 and 730, hunt (but not trap) coyote

a) throughout the year on privately owned land and on public land in the White Area, to which he or she has the right of access to hunt;

b) on public lands in the Green Area to which he or she has the right of
access to hunt, from the opening day of a big game season in a particular WMU to May 31, 2018 or until June 15 if the hunting is in a WMU that has a spring season for black bear ending on that date.

In Camp Wainwright (WMUs 728 and 730) a Resident may hunt coyote from January 5 until the end of February.

This would be wrong. See a.

Coyote – A Resident, Non-resident or Non-resident Alien who holds a Non-resident/Non-resident Alien Wolf/Coyote licence may, except in WMUs 728 and 730, hunt (but not trap) coyote

a) throughout the year on privately owned land and on public land in the White Area, to which he or she has the right of access to hunt;

In Camp Wainwright (WMUs 728 and 730) a Resident may hunt coyote from January 5 until the end of February.
Baiting for Wolves and Coyotes - On public land, hunters cannot use bait for hunting wolves or coyotes except a) from Dec. 1 to Mar. 31, or b) during an open season for the hunting of black bear where the setting out, use and possession of bait for the purpose of hunting black bear is permitted.

Each wolf or coyote bait site must have a readily observable sign showing the owner’s name, WIN, Big Game Outfitter-guide Permit Number, or Big Game Guide’s Designation Number.

These baiting restrictions do not apply to WMUs 102-166, to persons hunting under authority of a trapping licence, or on any private land.

Coyotes around here reach prime about November 15 and I won't buy shot coyotes until after that. There's not a ton of value in a shot coyote that grades EARLY. If you are putting up the fur yourself it might be worth your while to start earlier though.
