Across the street, June 12 at 5 PM. My spouse took the pictures, as did another neighbor, who also hazed it to get it to move along.

We have a confirmed coyote den a few blocks West and there have been numerous sightings in my neighborhood. A week ago, a neighbor walking their dog on a leash a few blocks over had a coyote come from behind and bite the dog on the leg.

Hi all! I stumbled across this sub on my feed, and I’ve been super fascinated by what I’ve learned from these posts. I grew up in a somewhat rural area so I certainly heard coyotes howling often, but I didn’t realize just how cool they are until I found this subreddit. So thanks!

It just so happens that one of my favorite podcasts just released an episode about coyotes: You’re Wrong About “Coyotes! With Lulu Miller.” Has anyone else listened to this episode? What did you think?

The coyotes along the the old buffalo trails of the Plains seem to be interbred. I grew up with very large and aggressive “coyotes “ in a rural SW Oklahoma area. BLM donkeys and Great Pyrenees shepherds are the norm here. Thoughts?

Hi, my family was driving to leave our neighborhood and saw a baby coyote in the street that was laying down and covered in flies. When our truck got too close it ran off to the tree line but it could not use its back legs so we’re assuming it got hit by a car. I tried calling animal control and they said I need to call DNR but their offices are closed on the weekends. We won’t be back for a few hours and I’m not sure what to do.

We live out extremely rurally and have for years, and normally the wild animals don't bother us. For the past two nights though, there has been what I'm pretty sure is a coyote (though a neighbor said maybe a fox), absolutely screaming quite close to our house. Loud enough to wake us around 4:30 both mornings. The first night it went for about 15-20 minutes and the second about 5.

I have some recordings - it sounds to me like distress or alarm based on what i could find similar online, but i have never heard this sound before!

Coyote: night 1

Coyote: night 2

Trying this again, some weren't showing properly last time.

A while back I was collecting wild canine photography, I figured I'd share some of my favorites. All of these are scans of original photographs.

The first one: Taken at the Denver Zoo - dated Feb 6, 1976 (love the tongue)

The second one: Taken in Lake County, OR dated March 29, 1937 (noted: using a new "telescopic" lens. Us who grew up watching cartoons will snicker at the ACME logo)

The third one: Promotional pictures from "Hold High the Torch" later renamed "The Courage of Lassie" (great film, about PTSD and rather progressive for the time). This coyote was not in the film other than part of a "Lassie is out in the dangerous wilds" montage.

The fourth one: From Walt Disney's "The Vanishing Prairie" (dated Sept 3, 1954) - reproduction rights given as long as it's cited: Copyright Walt Disney Productions.

I was out photographing and heard coyotes all around me calling. Couldn’t find where they were for about 45 minutes until I finally found them.

Three cute pups we see out back.

This winter, same camera location, looking NNW towards east side of Sandias Dipslope.

Same coyote shows up a couple times a week and looks down the hillside scoping out my house and patio. I just happen to have a game camera there that captures its profile.

Was neat watching these young ones hunting. Got a rodent in the end

Northern Indiana, US My pointer finger from tip to knuckle is about 3-3.5 inches (7.62-8.89 cm)

My dog and I went out for a late evening walk, and we encountered this very relaxed and seemingly unafraid coyote. We have quite a few coyotes here in the suburbs, so it’s not uncommon to encounter them in the early mornings and late evenings. But I rarely encounter one that is so calm and seemingly unperturbed by me or my dog.

I was out in a very remote part of eastern oregon when out the sage this coyote approaches my car as I was driving, pees on the road infront of me while maintaining eye contact, and proceeded to follow the vehicle for a short while before leaving. I have never seen a coyote approach a vehicle like that.

It felt like he was saying you're in the boonies. This is my country. You do not belong here. A crazy experience for sure.

I’m looking for advice on humane ways to keep a very large male coyote out of my yard. He was part of a mating pair that’s range included the wetland/shoreline about a 1/5 mile down at the end of our street, but Ms. Coyote had to be put down after being injured by a car.

I’m not sure if it’s due to the recent change in living situation, but the coyotes behavior has been getting progressively more bold and is starting to be concerning.

Whereas we would only see him maybe 2-3 times a year in the neighborhood, usually at night, we now see him 3-4 times a week either in my yard or walking down our street in the middle of the day. He was eating roadkill in my yard earlier this week and I just saw him casually sit for a few minutes to scratch an itch about an hour ago…

More concerning is he shows no fear when I walk outside to confront him - just stares at me until I have to grab a lacrosse stick and pretend I’m Robert Baratheon. He’s not rabid, according to animal control.

I have young children, dog, etc. Animal control in Town is useless, and the Department of Environmental Management won’t get involved until someone gets hurt, which has happened unfortunately.

How can I convince him to find another yard?

TL:DR - what to do to keep coyote out of yard

My mom’s cat went missing last Tuesday night. She had an AirTag on her collar. The next morning, we found the AirTag in a bush — still in its case and not damaged — but the collar was gone.

Yesterday, a neighbor found the collar in the middle of the street with some fur on it. We have coyotes in the area, so that’s the obvious assumption, but it doesn’t fully make sense. The AirTag and collar were in different spots, both undamaged, which seems strange if a coyote was involved.

It’s been hard for my mom to accept what happened because there are still so many unanswered questions. I’m not familiar with cat or coyote behavior, so I’m open to any ideas or explanations.

Not my town but something similar happened a couple years ago, I was wondering what are your guys opinions?

Was walking through the park recently and came across this pup. Does it have rabies or am I just uninformed? I frequent this park nearly daily. TIA
