Share this Information
Read our petition asking the Fish and Wildlife Department to stop the open season (24 hours a day, 365 days a year) on coyotes and establish a regulated coyote season. The change is needed because coyotes were exempted from the wanton waste bill that was passed in the 2022 legislative session.
Help post land
We frequently have landowners who ask us for help posting their land so coyote hunters and hounders cannot access it. Most of our requests come from elderly or disabled people who struggle to post their land due to physical challenges. Posting your own land? Review what legally posting land requires.
Contact your Legislators
During the legislative session, it is critical that your voices are heard. Please follow our Facebook page for alerts!
