This site will be continually under construction and changing as the states, counties and municipals continually change their regulations and laws. These are the current regulations for 1996 that we have received to date. If you have other information, please let us know the citations of those laws or regulations, the state and when the changes went or will go into effect by sending e-mail to lawschange@monkeymaddness.com.
There is no single state code regulating hybrids; their legal status is derived from various general wildlife statutes. Coyotes are an unprotected species in Minnesota; they may be taken and possessed at any time, with few restrictions. The possession of live coyotes is legal in Minnesota.
