here in Colo., there is no mag. limit for hunting coyotes,......there is a 5 rd. limit for big game, but NOT for coyotes. SO, where one might get into a little confusion is if you were to buy a big game license and be hunting big game, but decided to hunt coyotes at the same time, then you'd still be restricted to 5 rds. as if you were hunting big game only.
