This is an awesome talk! I never knew the difference between hazing (good) and harassment (bad)... now I do and can properly do it without feeling bad. I love coyotes, but do want them to stay in their areas not mine. While I live in Washington state, all of this information is still relevant. Thank you for providing it!

[@bobnokley]

We live in Las Vegas walk my Golden retriever 2X's daily. We have semi-regular coyote encounters being 100% honest it's scary when it happens but staying calm is the first thing we do. This morning we were on the other side of a field from one this morning. It started towards us all we did and its what we do every time, never turn our back be prepared if it comes closer. We moved to a safe area (the coyote would have needed to cross the road to get to us) As it moved towards us yelled and it was clear it did not want anything to do with us so a few yelling "get get" and it went the other way. Staying alert is everything I am always looking when we are walking. If we chase it off and it does not look back we feel safe, if they don't we walk never run and keep hazing up with our voice. As much as I don't want to I'm a concealed carrier and hope to never need to go there but I would before I would let us be attacked. Being aware is everything and everyone has a dynamic of what they would do.

[@Larry-ct5mg]

I had a coyote walk right up to me in the land behind my home with his head down, limping badly and presented with an injured leg. I cleaned up his wounds and bandaged and butterflied it to keep it clean and dry. He showed up every other day or so and I kept his bandages fresh and after 10 days or so he was good to go and I only saw him at a distance after that. I did not call animal control because I was worried that they would just put him down. I live in an area that is sparsely populated.

In Northern Lower MI coyotes tend to be slightly larger than CO, females tend to be around 25-30lbs and a large male runs about 45 lbs also here they are packing up more and more. Had a friend with 2 Rodesian Ridgbacks the 80lb female was attacked by 4 coyotes. When the 110 lb male came out the of the woods then the coyotes took off I saw the female 5 minutes after the attack her ear was badly torn and was on the way to the vet. I had a 140lb Black Russian Terrier (read Coyote killer) we never had coyotes on our property or anywhere in sight as long as we had him. Within a couple of months of his death we had coyotes grouping up and yelping within 100ft of my house, they want my cats. I will have another BRT very soon, in the mean time my AR and flashlight sits next to the door. I also have a 7ft dear fence to keep the yotes out but they are crafty and if I see one on my property they will become a pelt.

I have every intention set to gtfo of the city to a place where I can do as you said. A Black Russian Terrier is what I'll be looking for. I'll find a way to let my animals live safely outdoors again. If these lockdowns taught me anything, it is that I'd rather die than to be locked up. This is the reason the government got rid of our feral cat, and prairie dog populations. This is just another thing they do to us in the city, besides letting prisoners free.

true story....had a farm in IL. one night a pack of 8 of these critters came to visit and decided to separate my 2 farm dogs, a border collie and a rott, as if they were about to do them in. this was at 1am i grabbed 2 pots and ran outside in my night gown like a crazed lady yelling and banging my pots while chasing them down the country road. IT WORKED! they never came back again!!! good thing no one saw me cuz i think they would have called 911 to report an escaped crazy lady LMAO

[@garycarrigan7972]

Coyotes prosper very well living next to us.We, are the reason why they choose to live with us. Therefore, as we are knowingly or unknowingly stewards of the land, we owe it to the coyotes and ourselves to cope with them intelligently as we are supposed to be the dominant species. Get involved by educating ourselves and we can strike a working balance.

[@mhale1982]

[@chipsutcliffe7110]

We sometimes have a number of coyotes in our neighborhood that borders open space and loose a number of cats every year. Many of us take hazing to the extreme, where we actively follow the coyote until it leaves the area. The reaction will quickly go from a -2 to a -4 if you just follow the coyote as long as possible. This is not a chase, as you are simply following it. The coyote will become the prey in its mind, and will avoid the area in the future (as long as someone is not putting out food for cats!). Hazing absolutely works.

[@chrisklugh]

Here's my situation: I work nights and love going for walks on my weekends in the middle of the night so I'm not just sitting around the house, and to keep my sleep consistent. There's a large natural park/bird sanctuary in town with lots of small farms between it at the woods. So I'd imagine these Coyotes have made a home in the area. I'd like to spend more time in this area cause there's a nice natural pond with other kinds of wildlife and as a photographer, I'd like to take pictures, even at night. I'd even like to take pictures of the Coyotes if I feel not threaten. Is this something I can do? Do they really pose a threat to me? I should also mention, I have a shock baton because I have ran into aggressive dogs before. I don't wish to harm any creature, but I think this tool would be appropriate because it acts as a bite stick with a shock too if they do get that close. I can also turn on the baton long before they do get close to scare them. But this has not been field tested... So should I be alright?

[@peterm.eggers520]

Don't bother with all that nonsense! Chances are that you will never be bothered, and on the very slim chance you are, your shock stick or cattle prod is more than enough. BTW, coyotes will bite through any wearable plastic as if it wasn't there -- don't bother!

[@patriciapatrician6516]

@vagosdiamond200 baloney. The female jogger attacked in Frisco, TX, the coyote ran up, jumped up and tore a piece out of the side of her neck. So much for leg protection. a weapon is good, if you see them coming, and if there are few enough of them you can handle them.

I recognise some of this footage too. The coyote in the arctic -- guy had been behaving like he wanted the coyote to follow, and the coyote obliged.

The one time I saw a coyote up close was about 3 years ago. I let my dogs outside, on chains, walked inside fixed me a cup of tear, took about two minutes and the coyote was standing in the middle of my yard which wasn’t even half an acre. I started flailing my arms and started making shrieking noises. It looked at me like I was stupid and just walked away slowly. Good news was it gave up its breakfast, bad news was that it definitely was not scared of me.

[@frankaredia]

I live in northern Illinois and I used to take long hikes in one of our state parks. I often saw coyotes along the way. One early winter day I was passing a place I call the turtle pond. The turtles would sit on logs sticking out of the water and sun themselves. As I was walking that day a coyote walked alongside me like it was my pet dog. He paid no attention to me. He was intent on getting some fresh turtle meat from the pond. As quick as he was, the turtles were quicker and slipped into the water. The coyote made no attempts to retrieve a turtle from the water and just moved on. I never felt in danger. I thought the coyote looked rather runty.

I enjoy seeing the coyotes in Toronto, so I only haze them if they are following me and my dog. It doesn't seem to do much though. They seem more curious than scared at the behaviour. I do pick up a large stick and walk with it in heavy coyote areas just in case. I see them every few days because I like to walk my dog in undeveloped areas. But I've seen them on the street and in city parks many times too.

[@patriciapatrician6516]

City officials use people like Ms. Bonnell as an excuse to do nothing about habituated, even aggressive and dangerous coyotes. She needs to mention that waiting for someone to be injured or killed when you can see coyotes becoming more aggressive is just stupid policy.

What happenswhen coyotes get use to tequchnics

[@sharonallen6921]

I am going to try this as my 1st line of defense. I don't like to kill any animal if not necessary. We have a heavy Coyote population on our rural property. It is farm and swamp land in the area and a lot of the farms are chicken farms. To be honest we have had to kill a Coyote. Most of them we scare away with a gunshot or yelling but this 1 male just would not leave us alone. Calling DNR was a joke. I have 2 small grandchildren who frequently visit the property as we are developing it. One of my adult sons was camping on the land one night and this 1 male would not leave him alone. He boldly came into the campsite and even tried to get into the tent. He was shot. We have seen less Coyotes since then but they are still around. I agree with your idea that it is better to leave the Coyotes alone if they are behaving - this 1 guy was not. If I understand what you are saying ... we will always have Coyotes. I guess it's comes down to how many and try to scare them away or deal with the bad behavior ones. This area is heavily populated with them and I think in the past people have tried to ignore the problem. Hence, the problem is now huge. Literally, people in this small community do not go out in their yard at night and make sure their pets are penned or in the house by nightfall. I'm sorry but I have a problem with that. I know the animal doesn't agree but I've spent a lot of money to call this my place and if I want to sit outside at night, I'm going to. We have progressed to the point that we introduced chickens to our small farm this year. I will defend them. I am hoping to get a Donkey as I've heard they are great defenders against Coyotes and as soon as I can fence in all acreage humans and other animals live in - a livestock guardian dog. I believe in live and let live but only if the Coyote learns to respect my boundaries. Thank you for this informative video series. ~Sherrie in South Carolina

Southern California has extensive coyote presence in urban and sub-urban areas. Always run from me without any aggeressive actions on my part. Been near seven alone in a park area and received no aggressive action toward myself from them. We looked at each other for a while but then they all just filed off in a line into the shrubbery(chaparal) and disappeared.

4:38 shows one acting aggressively, this is not allowed and needs to be reported so it can be removed. Just prior to that time stamp a picture is shown of one that is sitting three feet from the paved walkway, this also is not good or normal behavior. It's just waiting for you and your dog to get within striking range and it should be hazed harshly until it moves away and then be reported. Normal good behavior is when they yield adequate space with minimal hazing inputs while a bad acting human will just ignore them entirely with zero input to the obvious closer and closer interaction space they are actually training the coyote to be comfortable in. It takes two to tango, bad humans mixed with bad coyotes will result in a conflict no one wants.

Yuppies are always quick to cry animal abuse. These same yuppies are the 1st to cry, seek compensation from the public when they get attacked by a wild animal they cry so hard for. Fact is coyotes deserve respect for trying to survive in this ever shrinking world. However we need to be human beings, the hunter gather specialist that we are. These animals have lost their fears towards our species. Each generation one specie losing its fear more and more while the other becomes softer and softer... let these plump marshmallows come with me to the back countries of Alaska.
