Coyote Hunting Laws in Maine (verify before you hunt)
Maine publishes a trapping law book PDF that is a strong official source for predator/furbearer rules. Use the official PDF below as your source of truth, and confirm any coyote-specific hunting rules in the current hunting digest if needed.
Regulations change. This page is a guide only — not legal advice. Confirm current rules with Maine IFW before hunting/trapping.
Governing body (Maine): Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife (MDIFW).
