Sioux Falls Animal Control responds to coyote sightings along the Big Sioux River corridor and works with SD Game, Fish and Parks on hazing, but discharging firearms inside city limits remains restricted under Ch. 80.
Coyotes have established territory along the Big Sioux River greenway and outer subdivisions. Sioux Falls Animal Control logs sightings, advises residents to remove attractants, and coordinates hazing with SD Game, Fish and Parks. Lethal removal inside city limits is rare and tightly controlled because Ch. 80 misdemeanor provisions and SDCL firearms rules restrict discharge in populated areas. Residents are urged to keep small pets supervised at dawn and dusk, secure trash, and avoid feeding wildlife near the river trail system.
Discharging a firearm at coyotes inside city limits violates Sioux Falls misdemeanor code and can result in arrest, weapons confiscation, and substantial fines.
