WHERE are coyotes protected?
“In New Hampshire, coyotes are the only fur-bearing animal for which there is an open hunting season – meaning they can be shot any day of the year, as well as at night January through March, and their killing by firearm doesn’t have to be reported to Fish and Game.”
In virtually all urban areas it is forbidden to hunt coyotes or to trap them.
It may be possible to obtain difficult and highly regulated licenses to trap coyotes in extremely limited circumstances.
Why not? Seems that would help in keeping track of the population.
