Caught this big dude on our game camera that is set up less than half a mile away from our house and pigs. He’s actually staring at my dad, as this was about the time he had went outside to look at him with a thermal scope.

A warmer winter evening, I noticed 3 of my outside cats on my back deck watching something very closely, they looked like meerkats.

So, I went out with my light, shined it out, and 100 yards away was a coyote.

Now, this is where it gets weird, it didn't bolt, it was swaying and doing a little jig with its front legs while moving ever so slowly forward.

The cats were in little danger, as the decks raised and there is a fence, but easily within a coyotes jumping/climbing ability.

They really seemed almost mesmerized. And the coyote never bolted until I stepped back inside, then out with my shotgun.

I know there are plenty of first people stories about the trickster they can be, but I may have seen it first hand, and wondered if anyone else had ever seen anything similar.

I’ve never seen anything like this. Did it possibly have back up in the bushes? It actually waited for us and even started walking towards us on the trail. So bold.

A coyote jumped over my 6’5” cement wall yesterday, and it looked like it paused on top before climbing down. Do you think bird spikes would help? This is the first time I’ve ever seen a coyote here in over 35 years of living in this house.

There’s coyotes (one specifically I constantly see) In my suburban neighborhood. I take my dog out outside in the morning and night when it’s dark Bc now it’s always dark. My dog is reactive. I’ve been lucky to have only seen it once outside while I had my dog but I am seeing it every time I get out of the car. My dog freaks and I’m worried he’ll get off leash or the coyote is going to attack us (20lbs dog) What do I do??? Everytime I see the coyote I yell and tell it to leave to hopefully make it scared but this coyote is sooooo ok with humans.

this evening i heard a coyote barking, just like a dog. before it started howling a bit, i was considering whistling or walking over in case there was a loose dog in distress. that is my sentiment to express how much it sounded like a domestic dog bark. I got a decent audio recording. there is a family/pack that lives in my neighborhood, frequently used yote trails going through the woods next to my house, and while exploring i believe i found a potential den of theirs about 1/3 mile from my house. I am used to them and their songs, but have NEVER heard a bark like this. it sounded agitated, like it was calling for back up or help. to be honest it sounded kind of desperate, and it went on barking for over 5 minutes straight, with only a few yips and howls the whole time.

Not the best picture. We were taxing but in a Cessna caravan pretty fast. Crazy how adaptable. If you haven’t already read Coyote American by Dan Flores

Unfortunately, a couple of years ago. Two or four Coyote's jumped a chain link fence, and ate a Families pet dog. In very bright daylight. The pack was eventually hunted down and eliminated. I was more upset about the Coyotes, that the dog. Farmers have taken out 99% of the big fence line around here, thus most small animals have moved out too. So the Coyotes food source has dried up. So what are they going to do?

Just noticed this guy noticing me. He stuck around long enough for me to run in and grab a camera.

This is in a suburb of Boston about 5 miles from downtown
