Coyotes are highly adaptable predators thriving in suburban neighborhoods, rural ranches, and everything in between. While they provide ecological pest control, coyotes preying on livestock, pets, or showing habituation toward humans require professional intervention. Lone Star offers ethical, targeted coyote management.

"We run cattle just across the Red River and had both coyotes and hogs causing problems. Lone Star crossed the state line without blinking and got results fast."

Texas classifies coyotes as non-protected fur-bearing animals with no closed season, no bag limit, and no hunting license required on private land. Trapping is legal year-round. However, local ordinances may restrict certain methods (firearms, snares) within city limits. We ensure full compliance with all applicable regulations.
Daytime sightings alone aren't necessarily alarming—coyotes, especially nursing females with pups, hunt during daylight hours. Concerning behaviors include: approaching humans or pets, showing no fear response, appearing sick/disoriented, or exhibiting aggressive posturing. Document and report habituated individuals promptly.
Coyotes require specialized knowledge of canid behavior, territorial patterns, and trapping techniques completely different from insect or rodent control. General pest companies lack this expertise and equipment. Our wildlife-specific training ensures ethical, effective, and legally compliant coyote management.
