Wildlife

There are resources available to help you if wildlife is affecting your safety or injuring/ killing your livestock.

Coyotes

If a coyote is repeatedly visiting your property:

Hire a Nuisance Wildlife Service to trap and release the coyote at a distance regulated by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR).

Or, if you live in a zone where firearms may be discharged, you can grant permission to a Licensed Hunter to attempt to shoot the coyote on the property. Authorization from the MNR is required.

For more information about living with coyotes and what to do visit the Ministry of Natural Resources website.

To find a licensed hunter visit the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters website.

If your livestock or poultry have been injured by wildlife, you may be compensated.
