A friend of the family has a farm in MD, and has a coyote problem. I'd like to help them solve it. I'm not a MD resident. It's unclear exactly what licensing I'd need to buy in order to hunt problem coyotes on their farm.

Their site says,



The link says,



This is about as clear as mud, since the word "Exceptions" appears only twice on the Hunting Licenses page.

- Do you need a full season hunting license as a non-resident PLUS a furbearer license to hunt coyotes in MD?
- It seems as though you can get the non-resident small game license and hunt coyotes with that, but does that mean your furbearer permit only applies during those 3 days?

Thank you in advance. I'm trying to help this person, but I'm not throwing down over $100 in licenses to kill the king's problem animals...even $50 seems excessive.

I believe you have to have the non resident hunting license, period.  That will
Allow you to buy the fur bearer permit for yote.


PS- I live in Maryland, just north of AA county.  I’ve been trying to find some coyote land and would love the opportunity to help!  Coyotes wiped out the turkey population where I was going to turkey hunt this hear.  I’m on a vendetta now

Best bet may be to call DNR though. However, sometimes you will get different answers based off who you talk to.

E-mailed the DNR to leave a paper trail.

They first told me I'd need the full non-resident license. I quote their website on 3-day permits. They replied "oops, sorry actually you can hunt coyotes with a 3-day permit."

Do I really want to ask more questions? Even if I receive an answer to the affirmative, does the MD DNR even know what they're talking about?









In other words, they have zero fucking idea what they're talking about. What permits do I need or not need to fix MD's coyote problems?



While I find it repugnant that I need to pay money to fix the state of Maryland's coyote problems, I'm willing to pay a small sum of money to hunt the KiNg's CoYoTeS .
