We were having a coyote problem and a game warden came out and gave us a flier, telling us how to avoid coyotes. I built a coyote shaker that actually works. The game warden told us not to harm the coyotes and said they were protected?
You can hunt coyotes in AZ. Lots of folks in my town do the coyote hunt. Look up the coyote hunting club, Southwest Predator Junkies.
In general, coyotes are no more protected than any other animal. There is a hunting season for coyotes, like most other varmints and game animals. Grey mexican wolves are specifically protected though.
Also, if you were in a populated area, you cannot shoot a firearm within a quarter mile of any occupied building, dwelling, or campsite. As well, most incorporated cities and designated towns don't allow shooting firearms within the city or town limits, unless at a designated shooting range. The exception is in a life or death personal protection situation (bear or mountain lion attack, other human attacking, etc).
