Don’t leave food or garbage out and you’ll rarely ever see one. You will hear em, but I know the ones around here usually never venture close to homes intentionally.
They are pretty darn gutsy here in NY.
They have been in the yard outside the door.
Absolutely no fear of man.
Oh, and New York wants you to have a predator license, a nuisance animal license AND a hunting license as well before even thinking of tagging a coyote.
You’d think one would confer the others but no, bureaucracy in motion here.
Also, nevermind that coyote are opportunistic scavenging pests...
