What should you do when you see a coyote?

Absolutely not! Please never feed a coyote. A tame, human-fed coyote is much more likely to cause problems for itself and the community. Always scare coyotes away when you see them (even if you love them).
Offer it food to help tame it
Clap, yell, or stomp to scare it away
Approach, follow, or otherwise entice the coyote to come near you
Run away as fast as you can​

​Try again.
