That is why I said, “as far as I know”. I wish we could shoot ‘em here in AZ.

I watched a Rottweiller chase one through my yard last year. The Rottie gave up the chase after the coyote disappeared, and he (the dog) headed back to his porch to lay in the sun. As soon as he turned away, the coyote came running at him, full speed. His mouth was wide open as he ran towards the dog. The dog never saw him coming. What I saw next, (from my kitchen window) was like a mini tornado - or very large dust devil. The Rottie screamed, and went running away, bleeding, and the coyote (who was half his size) walked away with a big smile.

Predatory mammals as defined by A.R.S. 17-101 are coyotes, bobcats, foxes, and skunks. Bobcats are the only predator also classified as a furbearer with an export tag required to ship a bobcat pelt out of state.

August 1 - March 31 is open season for Bobcat and Foxes as authorized in Commission Order 13. The season for Coyote and Skunk is yearlong.

What you think you know is wrong. I don't know one place where coyotes are restricted or protected. In some areas there is still a bounty on them.
