People often fear for their own safety, or for their children or pets, when they learn about coyotes in their neighborhoods. But as an interdisciplinary team studying how people and coyotes interact in urban areas, we know that peaceful coexistence is possible – and that these creatures actually bring some benefits to cities.
Our team is working to learn how people feel about coyotes in their urban communities so that we can identify the best ways to foster positive human-coyote relationships. In Madison, we’ve found that many people appreciate coyotes and are likely to respond positively to messages that highlight coyotes as a valued part of the urban landscape.
Based on existing research, we believe urban landscapes have plenty of room for coyotes and humans to coexist peacefully. It starts with each species giving the other enough room to go about its business.

It’s over my friends.
The best way to appreciate a coyote is through a rifle scope. They’re an invasive species that brings no benefits.
Classified as “varmints” in the state of Georgia.
No limit, no restrictions, same as rats.
I agree .223%.
Coyotes are fine to have around, as long as you do not mind them eating pet cats and dogs.
Here’s a fact of life: rabbits and squirrels are fast and agile prey.
Your toddler is much easier to catch.
I appreciate them with my scoped Ruger 10/22 and suppressor.
Indeed
They are shootable. Here.
Problem very few around left interested in shooting them.
Have had a a few mild winters and the pack is large again.
I read years ago that Georgia got coyotes when the fox hunters ordered baby foxes through some magazine adds.
Unbeknown to them, a baby fox looks just like a baby coyote. So guess what they got sent by unscrupulous dealers...
I appreciate them with my AR15.

Learning to speak “Hispanic” might be helpful ... especially if they kidnap you daughters and sell them off for sexual slavery.

They eat the rodents till they are gone. They eat pet food left out (or food left out for them). They start on pets, even on the end of the owner’s leash when out for night time pee. (Are your little kids next?)
Coyotes welcome! Does that remind you of Refugees Welcome?
We have them. I welcome them. They can feast on the Large Deer, and rabbit population.
Now that I think about it they can have the neighborhood children, and barking dogs.
Correct, GaryCrow!
out here in the sticks, a bit of scope and 62g .223 HPBT over some CFE223 driven by Federal Small Rifle primer.
They go down. They stay down.
Coyotes are fine. They have a function.
Now, RINOs should be hunted down. Their functioning should be terminated.
With prejudice.
