Coyotes are common across Tulsa neighborhoods near the Arkansas River and wooded edges. Tulsa Animal Welfare and Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation handle conflicts, emphasizing hazing and pet protection rather than relocation.
Coyote sightings are routine in Tulsa, especially near the Arkansas River corridor, Mohawk Park, and Turkey Mountain. Tulsa Animal Welfare focuses on education, hazing techniques, and removing attractants such as pet food, fallen fruit, and unsecured trash under Title 6 and Title 37. Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation regulates lethal removal of nuisance coyotes; firearm discharge inside Tulsa city limits is restricted under Title 12. Residents must keep small pets supervised, secure poultry coops, and avoid feeding wildlife. Aggressive or sick coyotes are reported to Tulsa Animal Welfare or ODWC for assessment, capture, or euthanasia as conditions warrant.
Feeding coyotes, leaving pet food outdoors, or discharging firearms inside city limits to remove wildlife can result in fines under Tulsa Title 6, Title 12, or state wildlife rules.
