1 Minnetonka Coyote Management Hazing Works If We Do It Together
2 Coyote Hazing: How to identify coyotes Brief overview of coyote behavior Hazing tools and techniques Why Minnetonka does not have a removal program
3 Coyote Identification A coyote is: A Coyote is not:
4 Coyote Identification There are many similarities between coyotes and wolves and even experts can sometimes get them confused. Points to remember: Coyotes are urban/suburban a wolf will never stay in a populated area longer than the time it takes to pass through. If you see the animal more than one day, it is a coyote. Wolves run with their tails straight out behind them, coyote s tails are typically down
5 Coyote Identification A coyote is: A Coyote is not:
6 Coyote Identification At a distance there can be some confusion between fox and coyote, but there are some distinct differences: Coyotes are larger they come up to about your knee or a little higher Fox are smaller below your knee, Grey fox are shorter than Red fox Fox faces are much more pointed than a coyotes
7 Coyote Identification Coyotes are also different colors: As are Fox:
8 Coyote Identification Coyote Face Fox Face
9 Coyote Information Why aren t coyotes afraid? People have trained them to be unafraid of us Every time we watch a coyote and don t do anything to scare it, we teach that animal that we are harmless We are feeding them Every person that feeds wildlife, has open compost or even feeds birds is feeding coyotes by attracting smaller animals that the coyotes feed on.
10 Coyote Diet Although coyotes are carnivores, They are opportunistic and eat almost anything, including vegetables, plants and bugs! Frequency of Food Items in the Diets of Coyotes in Cook County, Illinois* Diet Item Occurrence Rodents 42% White-tailed Deer 22% Fruit 23% Eastern Cottontail 18% Bird Species 13% Raccoon 8% Grass 6% Invertebrates 4% Human-associated 2% Muskrat 1% Domestic Cat 1% Unknown 1% Based on the contents of 1,429 scats collected during Some scats contained multiple items, therefore the percentages exceed 100%
11 Coyote Diet Coyotes are very opportunistic feeders whatever is available and easiest to obtain is what s on the menu, not just other wild animals! Pet food Compost waste Feed sites PLEASE DON T FEED WILDLIFE Unattended pets they look like prey to Coyotes
12 Coyote Habitat Shelter Coyote find shelter in anything from low brush to culverts to dens dug underneath decks, sheds and other out buildings.
13 Coyote Habitat Water landscape water features, swimming pools, natural ponds and streams all provide water sources. Be aware of what sources they may be accessing near your homes.
14 Coyote Behavior A Coyote s year is broken down into 4 seasons : Breeding/Mating Season Dec Mar Denning Season Mar May Rearing Season May Sept Dispersal Season Sept - Dec Coyote behavior changes with these seasons
15 Coyote Behavior Breeding/Mating Season - From mid- December through mid-march is the coyote's normal breeding season. During this time: Coyotes become more socially aggressive defending against potential mating challengers. Coyotes become more territorial defending hunting and breeding areas against threats (i.e. other Coyotes and large dogs).
16 Coyote Behavior Denning Season - From mid-march through mid-may, during this time coyotes spend more time providing for the pups: Coyotes are less vocal during this time. Territorial behavior focuses on the "core" areas around the den and less around the perimeters.
17 Coyote Behavior Rearing Season - From mid-may through mid-september as the pups get bigger and more independent: Territorial behavior remains similar to the Denning Season focusing on the den area and less on the outer parts of the territory. Hunting and movement activity is more concentrated in nocturnal (night) or crepuscular (dawn/dusk) hours.
18 Coyote Behavior Dispersal Season - From mid-september through mid-december: Young adults begin to disperse, searching for their own territories. With more young adults looking for new home territories, sightings of Coyotes increase. Territorial behavior relaxes among established individuals and family units.
19 Before you see a Coyote: Clean up fallen fruit from trees/bushes Secure trash cans, compost heaps & garbage
20 Before you see a Coyote: Landscape/property management Fences coyote rollers, fence extensions
21 Before you see a Coyote: Do I really need to do anything to my fence?? You tell me: W1iYGYM&feature=related 8QZWE
22 Before You See a Coyote: Landscape/property management Minimize hiding spots and attractants on your property or at least be aware of them
23 Before You See a Coyote: Secure foundations of buildings and decks. These provide ideal shelter and denning locations for both fox & coyote
24 Before You See a Coyote: Never leave pets out unsupervised Cats are safest in the house Do not feed pets outside Clean up around bird feeders
25 When You See a Coyote Make sure you: NEVER run from a Coyote This teaches the Coyote that it wins! It is likely to invoke a Chase reflex Haze, Haze, Haze Coyotes can run up to 40 mph, can you? Get the Coyote s attention you want to make sure it knows YOU are the reason its scared and is running away Make sure the coyote: Is able to run away (i.e. not sick/injured) Has a place/direction to run (i.e. not cornered) If the Coyote can t run away, hazing will not be effective
26 Why Haze Coyotes? When ever we see wildlife, we have 3 options: Actively entice it closer Do nothing ignore it or simply watch it pass by Actively discourage it or chase it away The first 2 options present no negative consequence and teach wildlife we are not a threat. Hazing provides that negative consequence and teaches Coyotes to be afraid of us.
27 Why Haze Coyotes? No other method provides the long term results that Hazing does. Hazing can be done immediately no wait time for someone else to address the situation. Hazing is free. Hazing presents no potential for collateral damage. Hazing is legal for everyone to do.
28 Why Haze Coyotes? Problems with coyotes arise when resident coyote populations become accustomed to human activity and are no longer scared of humans Hazing reestablishes and reinforces the fear of humans and breaks the cycle of conflict Hazing puts you in control of the situation.
29 Hazing Coyotes What does this coyote think of the spectators? Not much! Why?
30 Hazing Coyotes For hazing to be effective, you must get the coyote s attention. The coyote needs to understand you are what it is scared of & running away from.
31 Hazing Coyotes: Tools of the Trade Voice Body Noise Makers Air Horns Cans with pennies, rocks or old batteries in them
32 Hazing Coyotes: Tools of the Trade Whistles Water hoses (when weather permits) Squirt guns Pots & pans
33 Hazing: Got the Tools, Now What? When do I haze a Coyote? Any time, EVERY time you see a Coyote How do I haze a Coyote? Start with yelling and waving your arms If that doesn t work, escalate your efforts Use shaker cans, noise makers, throw things Run towards the Coyote Get another person to help, if available
34 Hazing: Got the Tools, Now What? Things to expect: The Coyote will not run away immediately The Coyote may only run a few feet or yards and then turn around and look at you. It s checking to see if the threat is real. Initially, you will need to use the most aggressive methods to haze The Coyote will likely return after the initial hazing, stay consistent it will work
35 Hazing: Do s & Don ts Do Get the Coyote s attention Get between the Coyote & any children or pets Continue hazing until the Coyote has left the area Use a variety of methods Don t Haze obviously sick or injured Coyotes or Coyotes with no escape path Haze from inside a house, car or behind cover. Be in full view! Haze pre-emptively Allow the Coyote to stay in the area
36 Hazing: Final Tips Be aggressive Use a variety of techniques and tools Don t be afraid Be diligent
37 Hazing: Final Tips If you need assistance, do not hesitate to call Emergency situation 911 Non-Emergency Explain situation Ask for Animal Control to respond
38 So why don t we remove them? The primary concern will always be the safety of Minnetonka s residents. The effective methods of removal (Poisoning, leg hold traps and call & shoot) pose a much larger danger to humans and their pets than the coyotes themselves
39 So why don t we remove them? It doesn t work Studies in other urban/suburban areas have shown that removal of coyotes typically leads to equal or larger number in the long run In an established family, only the alpha female has a litter of pups. If that alpha is removed, all females in the family will have pups. This frequently leads to 3 to 5 times the number of pups in a single year. Coyotes removed artificially (rather than lack of food, disease, etc.) tend to have larger litters to make up for the discrepancy.
40 In Conclusion-- People made coyotes unafraid of us, it is our responsibility to change that back. Hazing WILL work if we work together. Removal is costly, dangerous and ineffective.
