I had a friend who raised sheep in a brushy part of our state (Minnesota) where coyotes are common. She used to watch them closely. When coyotes on her land went for the sheep, she went after them. When coyotes set up on her land but showed no interest in sheep, she left them alone.

    Coyotes keep their territories in a pretty good balance. They live in harmony with many other species. I’d rather have a nice home turf coyote group as opposed to a rogue dog clan blow through. Coyotes are efficient killers and live within a balance. Rogue or transitory animals don’t have such care for the land and often just take advantage and tear through. My husband is a trapper and tanner…and he never traps for anyone seeking eradication. Eradication attempts only create a void in the lands balance…and every animal desiring more land will come in to battle for it. Embrace a healthy population and understand their motives. Ya just might be surprised.

    We actively follow coyotes in our community instead of just trying to look large and chasing for a few feet. Otherwise, they will learn they don't have to go far when they are chased. But if you continue to follow them as long as you can, they feel like prey instead of a predator. They stop and see if you are still following them. I have obviously hidden behind a bush so the coyote could see me laying in wait, and it absolutely freaked the coyote out. I watched it run away at full speed... This works!!!

    i lived right outside of Death Valley as a kid and the coyotes were pretty scrawny since it was a desert area. In the neighborhood they would show up near any events, neighborhood cookouts and such. They waited a few hundred feet away hoping when the people left there would be food left over but they weren't aggressive and remained fearful of people. They didn't come after pets and children in backyards. now i live in florida and they are a bit bigger here and will take a cat or small dog if they get the chance but still are very people shy and will run if they see you.

    Perseverance13: Chicken wire (2 ft x 150 ft, 2" mesh, ~$20) laid down on the ground at the fence line with the fence over the top, keeps diggers like fox, coyotes, and dogs out. For fox and coyote, it probably smells like a leghold trap to them. Dogs that will dig through rocks and landscape timber seem to have an aversion to getting the wire between their toes. Never had to worry about badgers. They could be a serious problem as they are Olympic class diggers.

    I lived on Mather AFB in the Sacramento, Ca. area in the very early 1990s. We had lots of grasslands, Jack rabbits, and coyotes. Our worst problem with the coyotes is they would sun themselves on the runway. An acquaintance learned a bit about how they hunt rabbits. He was in the tall grass with his dog off leash. He heard some Coyotes coming, and grabbed his dogs collar, just as several coyotes came buy. They had formed two lines. The ones in the back were making noise to scare the rabbits. The ones in the front were silent looking for the rabbis trying to make a hasty retreat. I worked in environmental management there for a year and a half, we really never had a problem. But then, we had plenty of rabbits.

    I like watching them. I used to do security at night and would shoo them off the sites often. It was pretty pointless though. The workers left food and trash everywhere and this attracted mice, which attracted the coyotes. They would just come inside after I left the immediate area. I took it as a good sign. If the coyotes were acting normally that probably meant there were no theives or vandals around.

I've been around them all my life but the javalina or pig-like critters are more dangerous out here. It ticks me off when transplants from urban areas complain about the coyotes and other predators out here. These outsiders moving out here are pushing the wildlife out as more out of staters move here, mostly retirees for our warmer weather. The coyotes are shy here but we do have an occasional mountain lion and bob cats. A pack of coatimudi related to racoons killed my neighbors goose and several chickens. If transplants don't like that then stay in town or the city.

    Yea, I’ve always been able to just scare them off as they’ve started coming into the city more with the city coming out to invade in their territory as well, so I always just scare them off so they aren’t comfortable in the neighborhoods. I don’t ever try to hurt them and I’m always carrying , so that gives me extra security but I don’t want them getting to comfortable around the neighborhoods with the pets and children. They don’t attack children usually but they will eat anything they can if they’re starving so It’s best to just keep them @ bay. It’s surprises me sometimes when I see how far down into the city they come a lot of times.

He wasn't really a pet. He was a coyote in captivity and confined against his will. In a dream I had, he finally escaped. I ran to his pen and he was gone. I'm 73 now but I will never ever forget him and deeply love coyotes to this day. Sometimes I run into them around here and hope that we understand each other.

    Their norm is not to attack humans. I live in close contact with them daily, They attack if it's advantageous to them. Things that are small and will put up no or minimal resistance. Lapdogs are at risk but medium to large dogs are not. There are many advantages to having them around for pest control, but in the U.S. all predators are killed, so you'll never convince a rural person of tolerating wolves, coyotes, bears or any other predator on four feet. I work on a golf course, and one female Coyote follows me around to all the holes I am working on, she never comes closer than 3 meters, they are just smart curious animals, co-existence is easy with her and the other Coyotes that inhabit the area, their main diet is rodents, rabbits, and insects. I respect them but feel no fear when they are around, I enjoy them and feel safe, in fact.

    This is funny. First I'm really rural. I've had coyotes 20 feet from me, at the same time 20 feet from dogs. They, the coyotes just keep digging. I though it was odd. My dogs didn't attack them, and they didn't attack me or the dogs. The coyote around me travel in 2s and 3s, but there are far more then that. My guess is around 50 of them. At times I hear them 360 degrees around. But now seem to stay at least a half mile away. A few months back I seen some feral dogs, I think they are pushing the coyote back. Which I'm not happy about since they coyotes seem to have a live let live attitudes with me. Ones around me appear to live on rodents and rabbits. Someone may ask why I don't mind the coyote. Here is why. Coyote eat rodents. Less rodents means less snakes. I have a lot of rodents and snakes. I use to have a couple eagles around but haven't seen them in about 3 years. When the eagles disappeared the snake population boomed. Last eagle I seen was a little one that flew into my house.

    Without coyotes, my neighborhood would be nothing but wall-to-wall small rodents, squirrels, jack-rabbits, and stray cats. God bless the coyotes. They maintain balance. Besides the puppies are so cute! My 90 pound Shepherd/Pitt went bounding into a thicket and I heard a scatter of motion close by and a scared and disoriented pup came flying out. He saw me and went right back into the brush. Evidently he/she was more afraid of me than my dog.

    I had just moved into my mobile home park in Scottsdale, AZ which is on the edge of the city and the Indian reservation when coyotes killed a fox at 2am in the morning right behind or on top of my mobile home. I had just finished work and was home relaxing. They all made a hell of a racket especially the poor little fox. I've seen the mini pack of 2 or 3 coyotes two or three times. The last time I saw them they had gotten a Lot bigger. It made me wonder if they were not actually coywolves.

    @@patriciapatrician6516 You really need to take a logics and critical thinking course. You are alluding that someone needs credentials to understand the movement, behaviour and observation of an animal or nature which is silly. Do the indigenous people need credentials to understand the land they live on? Not everything requires credentials. You dismiss her field expertise being a stupid troll. Someone whose mind goes towards such thinking is generally a follower not someone at the forefront of their given fields of study or work in which one is ahead of credentials.

    2:10 I'm confused. When I examined a coyote skull in class, there were molar-like teeth in the last two rows. The teacher said that coyotes were omnivores that evolved grinding teeth for plant matter, setting them apart from other canids which are obligate carnivores.

    I don't know what class this was or what your teacher's expertise was, but wolves have 16 premolars and 10 molars, and carnivore-type teeth include molars. Canids are not obligate carnivores. There's a bit of gray area between carnivore and omnivore, and canids are in it. It's possible, though, that coyotes will eat more plant matter than gray wolves.

    I had a pack (i only saw 3 but heard more) Follow me back to my truck in bow hunting season this year. It was very strange, i think they were responding to my rattling antlers. When they realized i was a person they didn't run off. Yelling at them did not work. It was a 1/2 mile walk back to my truck and they had a circle around me the whole way. They were acting nothing like what you would expect. I am 6' tall 230 pounds and with all my warm cloths on i must look 300 pounds to them. Northern lower Michigan.

    In my Southern California town we have had two incidents where coyotes have attacked a person's small dog while on leash and under control of the owner. They just shook it until it was dead and did not try to take the dog away. In another incident we had a mountain lion attack a woman's 35 pound dog on leash and she played tug-of-war briefly but lost and the dog was taken away.

    Do the westerners actually think they are the only ones with coyote problems. I live in the suburbs of Atlanta, GA and we have coyotes. The reality is they have begun to eliminate the feral cat population. I was walking my springer spaniel and my little peekapoo when I saw a small coyote running toward us. I instinctively grabbed my little dog and the little coyote left my springer alone. It tried several times to grab my little dog while I'm screaming and kicking at the coyote. It followed us home, so I went through the gate to the rear garden area. When I safely had my dogs inside, I went looking for the coyote (no more than 30 seconds). It was nowhere to be found in mine or my neighbors yards. I believe what the western native Americans call them "ghost", because they can disappear in an instant.

    I know this is old but I just stumbled onto it. I am in the Midwest and have hunted coyotes all my life since I was 12 , I am now 53. Coyotes are easy to identify but around here they get much bigger I guess. I have taken females as big as 40 lbs. and males as big as 70 lbs. It doesn't happen all the time but they are out there. We also sometimes get the weird ones that are crossed with stray dogs. Those are hard to identify from a distance.

    Speaking of stumbling upon old posts…here I am haha. I just had to chime in! When she said the typical coyote weights I was shocked. Yes I see them that small here in Indiana, but usually they’re a bit larger than that. Not dramatically, but still larger even accounting for fur. If I see one that small I usually assume it’s a juvenile. 🐕
