San Bernardino County coordinates with California Department of Fish and Wildlife on coyote conflicts. Residents must avoid feeding wildlife, secure trash, and use hazing techniques. Lethal removal is reserved for animals showing imminent threats to people or pets.
Coyotes are abundant across the Mojave Desert, San Bernardino Mountains, and foothill communities like Yucaipa and Crestline. The county prohibits intentional feeding under Title 3 wildlife rules. CDFW issues depredation permits when coyotes injure pets or livestock or show fearless daytime behavior. Animal Care advises hazing through loud noise, water, and visual deterrents. Pet owners are urged to supervise small dogs and cats, especially at dawn and dusk near greenbelts and washes.
Wildlife-feeding citations under county code, plus state penalties for unauthorized take of wildlife. Repeat violations may escalate to misdemeanor charges and significant restitution.
