They are all over around here. My dog and I ran into one at the bottom of the steps one night. My dog went nuts and I heard the coyote run off and I saw it go over the fence. Now I carry a flashlight to scan the yard when we go out at night. They are frequently spotted trotting down streets and alleys during to day, too.

During the winter mating season I carry a bit more than a flashlight.
I know that I’m NOT Wild Bill Hickok, or anything close.
I hope that if necessary the sound will do the job???
On the Northwest side, they use the freight train and Metra tracks as a highway to go into the city at night to hunt and forage, then head back out to the forest preserves before dawn.
