coyotes out of your yard

Coyotes are very smart, opportunistic, and innovative animals; indeed, they're so smart that they've even learned to chase schoolchildren to get them to drop their lunch bags![1] As the numbers of coyotes increase, they're becoming more courageous and adaptive to our human-shaped environments and they're less easily intimidated. With brave coyotes starting to venture farther out of the forest and into rural areas and campsites, we have both a need and a responsibility to deter them from built environments or where humans are undertaking activities, in order to avoid harm to either humans or coyotes.
