Hunting coyotes at night in Maine is tightly regulated and only allowed with the right authorization. The law requires a specialized night hunting permit and only during a designated season and within a specific time window. If you have that permit, you may hunt from half an hour after sunset until midnight during the set season. Without the permit or outside the allowed season and hours, nighttime coyote hunting isn’t legal. The other choices miss these essential controls: one asserts no permit is needed, another suggests an indoor permit, and another allows hunting any night with no permit.
