Coyote Hunting Laws in Massachusetts (verify before you hunt)
Massachusetts publishes coyote-specific rules on an official state page. Use that page as your source of truth (especially for hunting methods and seasons), then confirm any local restrictions that may apply where you hunt.
Regulations change. This page is a guide only — not legal advice. Confirm current rules with Massachusetts’ governing authority before hunting.
Governing body (Massachusetts): Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife (MassWildlife).
