Coyote Hunting Laws by State (Updated Guide + Official Resources)

If you hunt coyotes, your #1 job is staying legal. Rules change, local restrictions exist, and what’s allowed in one state can be illegal across the border.

Important: This page is a navigation hub and plain-English guide — not legal advice. Regulations change. Before you hunt, confirm the current rules with your state’s wildlife agency (linked on every state page below).
