Endangered New Jersey: Coyote Hunting in NJ


Photo Credit: Endangered New Jersey  

A special night hunting season on coyotes began on January 2 in New Jersey. Hunters have been allowed to use rifles to shoot coyotes during daylight hours since November, but by obtaining a special permit, hunters are able to shoot coyotes at night during the season that continues until mid-March. The state established its coyote hunting program in 1997.


Estimates from the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife say that there are more than 5000 coyotes in the state.
