Coyote Hunting Laws in Maryland (verify before you hunt)
Maryland publishes its official hunting & trapping guidance via the state DNR hunters guide. Use the official guide as your source of truth, and double-check public land restrictions before hunting.
Regulations change. This page is a guide only — not legal advice. Confirm current rules with Maryland’s governing agency before hunting.
Governing body (Maryland): Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
