Thought that might get your attention. This is coyote denning season and the coyotes are having their pups. This is the time of year that experiences the highest incidents of negative coyote/human encounters. Coyotes become very territorial and will not tolerate other canines (your dog) in their territory. Be extra vigilant when walking your pets to coyote activity. If you notice a coyote several times in the same general area, stay clear especially with pets and small children and report the location to authorities. Please also take a moment to report the sighting to our website. Do not approach or allow your children to approach young coyote pups. Yes they are cute, but mom and dad are wild animals and will act accordingly.
