No one ever seems to talk about people shooting coyotes. Is it illegal or something?
Or is it just cos one can't eat 'em.
Texas state law says:
A hunting license is not required to hunt the following:
Coyotes, if the coyotes are attacking, about to attack, or have recently attacked livestock, domestic animals, or fowl.
In reality, people shoot them all the time. It's not really hunting or sport, it's more like pest control. Our governor was in the news this summer after he shot a coyote while he was out for a jog.
My former inlaws have a small ranch in Florida and they leave a rifle next to the window in their guest house. Visitors are encouraged to shoot any coyotes that they see in the pasture.
