Recent sightings of a large coyote at the far end of Glenmerry serve as a timely reminder to keep an eye on pets, children, and potential attractants as spring approaches.

Though primarily nocturnal, coyotes can be active at any time of day.

They are skilled hunters with exceptional hearing and a keen sense of smell.

WildSafeBC warns that while coyote attacks on people are rare in B.C., these animals can see both on- and off-leash pets as prey or a threat.

There have been cases where coyotes have pursued children, though this is usually tied to habituation and food-conditioning during times of low food availability.

Given this risk, it’s best not to leave small children unattended in areas where coyotes are known to roam.

To reduce encounters, keep dogs on a leash and under control, avoiding extension leashes, especially with small dogs, as coyotes may see them as prey.

Be particularly cautious during mating season, from February to March, and when coyotes are protecting dens and raising their young.

Never allow dogs to interact with coyotes, as this can make the animals more comfortable around humans and increase the likelihood of future conflicts.

If you encounter an aggressive coyote, WildSafeBC offers these safety tips:

• Make yourself appear large, maintain eye contact, and speak in a firm, low voice or shout.

• Do not run or turn your back, as this may trigger an attack.

• Pick up small pets and children immediately; older children should stay close and avoid running.

• Wave your arms and, if possible, use a walking stick, rake, or shovel to defend yourself.

• Throw rocks, sticks, or other objects near the animal to deter it.

• If the coyote continues to approach, stay facing it while slowly backing away toward people, your home, or a vehicle.

• If attacked, fight back — aim strikes at its ribs and stomach with your feet or a sturdy stick.

• Bear spray is also an effective defence.

By staying vigilant and following these precautions, WildSafeBC says you can help prevent conflicts with coyotes and keep your community safe.
