Henderson borders open desert near Lake Mead and McCullough Range, so HMC Title 6 and Nevada Department of Wildlife guidance prohibit feeding coyotes and require humane hazing rather than self-help killing inside city limits.
Coyotes regularly enter Henderson neighborhoods adjacent to Sloan Canyon, Black Mountain, and Lake Mead Recreation Area. HMC Title 6 prohibits intentional feeding of wildlife, which habituates coyotes and elevates conflict risk to pets and children. Nevada Department of Wildlife retains primary authority under NRS 503 over predator management. Inside city limits, residents should secure trash, restrain small pets, and use loud hazing such as shouting, air horns, and waving arms to reverse habituation. Lethal removal generally requires a licensed wildlife control operator. Henderson Animal Care responds to aggressive or injured coyotes; healthy coyotes are typically not removed.
Wildlife feeding citations under HMC Title 6 can reach 500 dollars per incident. Discharging firearms within Henderson is separately prohibited and can result in misdemeanor or felony charges depending on facts.
