This should be a damned TED talk. Amazing presentation. Sit down, shut up, and pay attention to this woman, who actually knows what she is talking about.
This should go viral. Education of these issues is good for both. They were here before and will be there after us. Those people that think they should remove them need an education in life in general. Thank you.
This is an awesome talk! I never knew the difference between hazing (good) and harassment (bad)... now I do and can properly do it without feeling bad. I love coyotes, but do want them to stay in their areas not mine. While I live in Washington state, all of this information is still relevant. Thank you for providing it!
Thank you for the very informative presentation. As quite a few of the comments below show, you can only
do your best to provide the best information possible. The ignorant will remain so, regardless !!
A fantastic presentation-informative and hilarious in perfect proportion!
This is good information. We can find ways to coexist without killing them or letting them in our backyards and endangering our pets.
Excellent presentation. Thanks to this ranger for breaking down the good, bad and coyote ugly
We live in Las Vegas walk my Golden retriever 2X's daily. We have semi-regular coyote encounters being 100% honest it's scary when it happens but staying calm is the first thing we do. This morning we were on the other side of a field from one this morning. It started towards us all we did and its what we do every time, never turn our back be prepared if it comes closer. We moved to a safe area (the coyote would have needed to cross the road to get to us) As it moved towards us yelled and it was clear it did not want anything to do with us so a few yelling "get get" and it went the other way. Staying alert is everything I am always looking when we are walking. If we chase it off and it does not look back we feel safe, if they don't we walk never run and keep hazing up with our voice. As much as I don't want to I'm a concealed carrier and hope to never need to go there but I would before I would let us be attacked. Being aware is everything and everyone has a dynamic of what they would do.
Coyotes prosper very well living next to us.We, are the reason why they choose to live with us. Therefore, as we are knowingly or unknowingly stewards of the land, we owe it to the coyotes and ourselves to cope with them intelligently as we are supposed to be the dominant species. Get involved by educating ourselves and we can strike a working balance.
My "critter cam" has recently caught a pair of coyotes that visit at night. I live in a small city and have been amazed at the hidden, flourishing wildlife that's right out there.
This was so interesting and informative. Thank you for posting!
I had a coyote walk right up to me in the land behind my home with his head down, limping badly and presented with an injured leg. I cleaned up his wounds and bandaged and butterflied it to keep it clean and dry. He showed up every other day or so and I kept his bandages fresh and after 10 days or so he was good to go and I only saw him at a distance after that. I did not call animal control because I was worried that they would just put him down. I live in an area that is sparsely populated.
Pure fiction.
far stranger things have happened, maybe this coyote had substantial human contact early in it's life.
Larry 21603 You’re stupid.
Good for you
A real blessing for both of you
Bullshit story
In Northern Lower MI coyotes tend to be slightly larger than CO, females tend to be around 25-30lbs and a large male runs about 45 lbs also here they are packing up more and more. Had a friend with 2 Rodesian Ridgbacks the 80lb female was attacked by 4 coyotes. When the 110 lb male came out the of the woods then the coyotes took off I saw the female 5 minutes after the attack her ear was badly torn and was on the way to the vet. I had a 140lb Black Russian Terrier (read Coyote killer) we never had coyotes on our property or anywhere in sight as long as we had him. Within a couple of months of his death we had coyotes grouping up and yelping within 100ft of my house, they want my cats. I will have another BRT very soon, in the mean time my AR and flashlight sits next to the door. I also have a 7ft dear fence to keep the yotes out but they are crafty and if I see one on my property they will become a pelt.
Where are you at ?
@@chetisanhart3457 reread his post. Especially the first four words.
What town, dumbass.
I live in an apartment complex where many had been feeding them. Can you imagine? We now have no outside cats. I've lost two cats and my chihuahua was killed, torn right off my patio by a crazed pit bull let lose on the property. How I wish making a pelt out of them were an option for me. I have every intention set to gtfo of the city to a place where I can do as you said. A Black Russian Terrier is what I'll be looking for. I'll find a way to let my animals live safely outdoors again. If these lockdowns taught me anything, it is that I'd rather die than to be locked up. This is the reason the government got rid of our feral cat, and prairie dog populations. This is just another thing they do to us in the city, besides letting prisoners free.
Excellent info. My residential area has so many coyotes. Had to haze the coyotes twice when I was with my dog. Thx for the terrific content
this lady is a natural, great presentation
Excellent presentation.
Here's my situation:
I work nights and love going for walks on my weekends in the middle of the night so I'm not just sitting around the house, and to keep my sleep consistent. There's a large natural park/bird sanctuary in town with lots of small farms between it at the woods. So I'd imagine these Coyotes have made a home in the area. I'd like to spend more time in this area cause there's a nice natural pond with other kinds of wildlife and as a photographer, I'd like to take pictures, even at night. I'd even like to take pictures of the Coyotes if I feel not threaten.
Is this something I can do?
Do they really pose a threat to me?
I should also mention, I have a shock baton because I have ran into aggressive dogs before. I don't wish to harm any creature, but I think this tool would be appropriate because it acts as a bite stick with a shock too if they do get that close. I can also turn on the baton long before they do get close to scare them. But this has not been field tested...
So should I be alright?
Don't bother with all that nonsense! Chances are that you will never be bothered, and on the very slim chance you are, your shock stick or cattle prod is more than enough. BTW, coyotes will bite through any wearable plastic as if it wasn't there -- don't bother!
@vagosdiamond200 baloney. The female jogger attacked in Frisco, TX, the coyote ran up, jumped up and tore a piece out of the side of her neck. So much for leg protection. a weapon is good, if you see them coming, and if there are few enough of them you can handle them.
I think using a Dazer II ultrasonic repeller would work. A dog was threatening me and I used mine for the first time. He instantly bolted away as if he'd been struck by a whale! The very second the contacts closed.
true story....had a farm in IL. one night a pack of 8 of these critters came to visit and decided to separate my 2 farm dogs, a border collie and a rott, as if they were about to do them in. this was at 1am i grabbed 2 pots and ran outside in my night gown like a crazed lady yelling and banging my pots while chasing them down the country road. IT WORKED! they never came back again!!! good thing no one saw me cuz i think they would have called 911 to report an escaped crazy lady LMAO
I wish I was as good at portraying my thoughts as her. Thankyou for this.
This was a great overview. Thanks!
"There will always be coyotes at this lake." Challenge accepted.
Coyotes are a tough species to eradicate. It would've been done long ago if it was worth it.
Fur is a renewable resource. It's also fat free, non gmo, gluten free, carbon neutral, recyclable, and biodegradable...🤣
I recognise some of this footage too. The coyote in the arctic -- guy had been behaving like he wanted the coyote to follow, and the coyote obliged. Guy held his foot out like hey, bite this, and the coyote acted like a dog that thought it was expected to bite, so it did. Well, trained that one to attack people, didn't you...
When I lived in carefree in AZ there was a coyote that was limping like leg broken it hung near a circle K I felt bad for him. Who could I have called? Thanks for info. On hazing. I carried a stick with me one time and people beeped and asked why I carried a stick I'm like in case of a stray dog. They thought I was strange I guess? Lol
May I use this video in my blog? It is about how to keep pets safe. I would of course add proper attribution.

Can this work with wolves if you encounter them in the wild.
We sometimes have a number of coyotes in our neighborhood that borders open space and loose a number of cats every year. Many of us take hazing to the extreme, where we actively follow the coyote until it leaves the area. The reaction will quickly go from a -2 to a -4 if you just follow the coyote as long as possible. This is not a chase, as you are simply following it. The coyote will become the prey in its mind, and will avoid the area in the future (as long as someone is not putting out food for cats!). Hazing absolutely works.
The one time I saw a coyote up close was about 3 years ago. I let my dogs outside, on chains, walked inside fixed me a cup of tear, took about two minutes and the coyote was standing in the middle of my yard which wasn’t even half an acre. I started flailing my arms and started making shrieking noises. It looked at me like I was stupid and just walked away slowly.
Good news was it gave up its breakfast, bad news was that it definitely was not scared of me.
What I'd like to know is if hazed coyotes actually caused fewer problems than unhazed ones.
I enjoy seeing the coyotes in Toronto, so I only haze them if they are following me and my dog. It doesn't seem to do much though. They seem more curious than scared at the behaviour. I do pick up a large stick and walk with it in heavy coyote areas just in case. I see them every few days because I like to walk my dog in undeveloped areas. But I've seen them on the street and in city parks many times too.
4:52 There's a good probability that the coyote is doing that because it's starving and it's willing to do anything for food.
You should see man walkind down floida street, day, and yote out of shrubs heading his way. Man waving arms, prolly making noise and yote advanced. Man kicks it, it is down man gets away quickly. Yote gets up and bites woman gardening in her yard. Bit her back if leg for it came up behind her. I no longer believe this bs and carry cattle prod
@@barbaras3206 Some people scare them away and others just walk right by them like they're dogs. That's the real problem there. These coyotes learned that some people aren't a threat to them.
You seem awfully sure that all coyotes are starving. Most likely they're just looking for their daily calories. Yup, they'll do most anything for food and they are definitely smart enough to not hang around where there isn't any. Unless they're diseased or disabled, if they were truly starving, they would go someplace else. Smh...
City officials use people like Ms. Bonnell as an excuse to do nothing about habituated, even aggressive and dangerous coyotes. She needs to mention that waiting for someone to be injured or killed when you can see coyotes becoming more aggressive is just stupid policy.
@Rich Ratch If they were doing it frequently enough, you'd see coyote attacks drop off. A lot.
Where is part 2 of this series? All I can find on your channel is part 1, some short clips, then part 3.
I used to live in Lakewood about 20 years ago and can’t remember any eduction about coyotes, not to say it wasn’t out there, but it would’ve helpful just in case. I never saw a coyote, but it could’ve happened.
I live in northern Illinois and I used to take long hikes in one of our state parks. I often saw coyotes along the way. One early winter day I was passing a place I call the turtle pond. The turtles would sit on logs sticking out of the water and sun themselves. As I was walking that day a coyote walked alongside me like it was my pet dog. He paid no attention to me. He was intent on getting some fresh turtle meat from the pond. As quick as he was, the turtles were quicker and slipped into the water. The coyote made no attempts to retrieve a turtle from the water and just moved on. I never felt in danger. I thought the coyote looked rather runty.
worth the time to watch the whole vid
Think about what she said..you were wallpaper.
CAPTIONING NEEDED PLEASE
I am going to try this as my 1st line of defense. I don't like to kill any animal if not necessary. We have a heavy Coyote population on our rural property. It is farm and swamp land in the area and a lot of the farms are chicken farms. To be honest we have had to kill a Coyote. Most of them we scare away with a gunshot or yelling but this 1 male just would not leave us alone. Calling DNR was a joke. I have 2 small grandchildren who frequently visit the property as we are developing it. One of my adult sons was camping on the land one night and this 1 male would not leave him alone. He boldly came into the campsite and even tried to get into the tent. He was shot. We have seen less Coyotes since then but they are still around. I agree with your idea that it is better to leave the Coyotes alone if they are behaving - this 1 guy was not. If I understand what you are saying ... we will always have Coyotes. I guess it's comes down to how many and try to scare them away or deal with the bad behavior ones. This area is heavily populated with them and I think in the past people have tried to ignore the problem. Hence, the problem is now huge. Literally, people in this small community do not go out in their yard at night and make sure their pets are penned or in the house by nightfall. I'm sorry but I have a problem with that. I know the animal doesn't agree but I've spent a lot of money to call this my place and if I want to sit outside at night, I'm going to. We have progressed to the point that we introduced chickens to our small farm this year. I will defend them. I am hoping to get a Donkey as I've heard they are great defenders against Coyotes and as soon as I can fence in all acreage humans and other animals live in - a livestock guardian dog. I believe in live and let live but only if the Coyote learns to respect my boundaries. Thank you for this informative video series. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
Where I live in the Australian capital territory Canberra Australia. If your is not on a leash you get a fine or pick up the dog's poop, also it applies to cat's they need to be in a cat's run from the inside the house to the outside the outside. It's because of wild life
Where is part 2 of this series? Can't find it anywhere :-(
Cee Talltree
She was trying to haze off a coyote and it ate her.. Sorry no part 2
How about using firecrackers or starter gun with blanks? Are those allowed to haze?
I have a nice 22lr and a .223 that could help out with this situation.
Give me a couple weeks of night hunting, no more coyotes.
Can anyone explain the "bad actor" to me a little more? I understand that those coyotes have abnormal behavior, but I still don't understand why they call it "bad acting"
4:38 shows one acting aggressively, this is not allowed and needs to be reported so it can be removed. Just prior to that time stamp a picture is shown of one that is sitting three feet from the paved walkway, this also is not good or normal behavior. It's just waiting for you and your dog to get within striking range and it should be hazed harshly until it moves away and then be reported. Normal good behavior is when they yield adequate space with minimal hazing inputs while a bad acting human will just ignore them entirely with zero input to the obvious closer and closer interaction space they are actually training the coyote to be comfortable in. It takes two to tango, bad humans mixed with bad coyotes will result in a conflict no one wants.
coyotes turn and look at you to see if you are still chasing them and to get a look at you from a safer distance..they do that naturally even when they are by themselves...
What happenswhen coyotes get use to tequchnics
Why am I watching this? My nearest coyote is probably 3000 miles away.
Southern California has extensive coyote presence in urban and sub-urban areas. Always run from me without any aggeressive actions on my part. Been near seven alone in a park area and received no aggressive action toward myself from them. We looked at each other for a while but then they all just filed off in a line into the shrubbery(chaparal) and disappeared.
@Rich Ratch They are indeed very brash when you have food nearby.
@Rich Ratch That too. Small dogs have been taken out of peoples arms. But it's interesting to consider that while I have seen cat parts in their scat I haven't found dog parts.
I've seen them going after larger dogs because of what you mentioned.
i love coyotes...
My guess is if these coyotes were hazed there whole life they would not be even coming close to humans i mean go into hunting areas you don’t see allot of them even though you know they are there
Domesticating, like squirrels, trash pandas and possie’s.
Can i find the full lectur?
Beauty and brains wow,...this is by far the hottest park ranger lady I ever did see !!! Great presentation,greetings from Canada .
Video locked up 16 min in. Retry's did not help.
Yuppies are always quick to cry animal abuse. These same yuppies are the 1st to cry, seek compensation from the public when they get attacked by a wild animal they cry so hard for.
Fact is coyotes deserve respect for trying to survive in this ever shrinking world. However we need to be human beings, the hunter gather specialist that we are. These animals have lost their fears towards our species. Each generation one specie losing its fear more and more while the other becomes softer and softer... let these plump marshmallows come with me to the back countries of Alaska.
I shot at a pack of coyotes and one of them came closer and took cover behind a tree.
Just to add to this I believe they was chasing down a fox. I shot once at the glowing eyes and then again to the one that advance. Then I retreated to get a better flashlight and a shotgun but they was gone. Didn't find any blood or dead coyotes but I seen a scared little fox running around hours later. Plus I got a dog that likes to protect his territory.
Its almost impossible to train people, we are just to stupid...
a loan coyote came up to my dog who is a cattle dog...they both wagged their tails...the coyote wanted to play but when he saw me a he went away and my dog followed him for awhile..i wish they could of had some fun..they visit my farm often sniff and leave they have.plenty of food in the area..rabbits etc
Just ask people to shoo them away, haze is definitely the wrong word
Take these surveys in the country and amongst the farmers and you'll get a much more 'permanent' set of answers from those people. Wild animals are just that, wild. They have two things on their mind, and one of them is food. They don't speak a written language and they don't have opposable thumbs.
Probably the word “hazing” was a bad choice.
Eliana Selzer she addressed that in her video. That’s also the widely accepted term, not the presenter’s.
I haze coyotes by using other. I throw cubes of freshly cooked sirloin steak at them. So far they don't seem to scared.
Nice
You are teaching them that humans are food providers
Could you haze a Coyote with a very bright flashlight, by shining it in thier eyes?
*their
Mace in the eyes might work better
Droideka Boss Beware don’t you have to get close to do that?? Will a 600+ lumin light not work? It even hurts my eyes.
I shine lights in there eye all the time right before I pull the trigger on my rifle. 👍
None hunted predators become brave. Mating and birthing time will be aggressive it's not natural for coyotes to be in town quit thinking it is encouraged your fishing game to take care of the problem. Lion and bear can be the same way just remember
learn english, dogge. Better yet, shut up and go away
@@suec4479 get a life old lady
The Bear trap is cruel!!!
Ban the Bear trap
You obviously have no idea what a bear trap looks like.
Hang a halibut hook with a strip of raw bacon from a tree just out of its reach unless it jumps up. And use a double hook method for best results
Its a paw holder actually. I dont thin it has any teeth, it just puts pressure so the coyote cant escape.
Bear traps are cruel use land mines instead
What are you some kind of Park ranger?
Coyotes would never tangle with an adult human unless they have rabies.
Please ur so city
Coyotes don’t have this behavior where they can be hunted .
Hazing = 1 snap of a trap and a pistol shot repeat as necessary
Snap a trap on your ugly mug, Trevyr. Real men dont slaughter animals to make themselves feel big and tough and cool. You are such a loser.
Sue C what is your problem with everyone? What's wrong with you?You are toxic and need to stop harassing people! Just quit being a nasty person and try to be a nice old lady please?
@@carnagethunder6170 ,nice user name, pal. Mind yout own. I will ALWAYS stand up for wildlife! That's not toxic. that's civilized and intelligent; 2 attributes that the kill-happy morons here will never attain. And how the hell do you know if I'm "old" ? Jusr because Im smarter than you will ever be doesnt have anything to do with age. Kind of like how your being a nosy rude whiner doesnt mean you are young- just means you are immature and annoying. Buh-bye
Sue C your profile picture is an old lady lol
Sooooo....they ARE dangerous. LoL
There is no scientific evidence that hazing coyote works in the long term. Holding individual citizens responsible for hazing coyotes put some of them in real danger. advising them never to haze a sick or injured coyotes is expecting them all to have veterinary training. A brilliant strategy that. And yes, in some areas you could get busted for harassment of the coyotes despite what she says.
A GOOD video. BUT, it IS too long. You could garner MORE audiences by being MORE concise.
only city people need to be taught this. As soon as state or fed employee's are involved everything goes to hell....welcome to commie Colorado
HAZING IS ABUSE
I love White women
What are you on?? You sound so wired!! " its a person that did her first line of speed and cant believe her house got so clean. that's gone to the dark side
A rifle creates a better zone of safety.
This seems pointless. Coyotes know we can't catch them. Wild animals will always come back to a resource and the only way to stop them is a physical barrier, guardian animals or to kill them unfortunately.
Well, I do have the idea of calling in a unit from the National Guard and arming them with semi-automatic rifles loaded with dedicated hunting rounds, but I'm not so sure if the public and taxpayers want that. Besides, removing all of the coyotes can potentially mess up the environment.
These officers know coyotes should be killed but then they would be out of a job.
What they need is a fear of humans. They don't know that we can't catch them. Quite the opposite.
In a book written by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas she talks of the relationship between African peoples and lions. The lions understood to leave the people alone and they taught their offspring. But when the situation changed and no lions were able to teach their offspring about people they became dangerous to humans. Hazing and the respect for humans can be taught by parent coyotes. So can't no respect. They need some fear but it doesn't always have to be lethal.
@@SayNoToDemocide1 It can also bring in more coyotes into the area because 'it's free real estate' pretty much.
Why does she chastise the audience?
She's not great with the audience involvement aspects, but the facts are all there, and I think her heart's in the right place.
BC lefties love power. They force a problem on people, then force people to pay for all this waste. Shoot them and stfu.
if a coyote gets really close to my dog i'm gonna kick it... Like there is no reason it should be coming that close to me and my dog.
Soooooo... she implies coyotes that will follow joggers after 10 PM, will not do it before 10 PM. What utter claptrap!
It's a joke, genius.
