On July 15th, the Natural Resources Commission by a unanimous vote approved the Indiana Department of Natural Resource's rule changes regarding coyotes. It was signed into law by Governor Mitch Daniels on July 28th 2008. These new Indiana state code rules will help stop the trade and abuse of coyotes.
A summary of the new rules:
1. Coyotes taken from March 16th to October 14th (outside of hunting & trapping season) be must be euthanized within 24 hours of capture.
2. The sale, trade and gift of live coyotes outside of the coyote hunting & trapping season is prohibited.
3. A person is prohibited from having in possession lawfully taken live coyotes more than 20 days after the close of the hunting & trapping season unless authorized by law.
Prior to the passage of these rules, there was no regulation to what happend with live trapped coyotes. They were often sold and used as live bait in hunting hound dog training. This cruel and inhumane practice often leads to the suffering, major injury or death of the dogs & coyotes involved.
Thank you to all the people who helped with the passage of these rules into Indiana law.
